Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 radhe krishna! namo narayana dear bhaagavatas, lets continue onwards... Sri Radhikastaka from the Govinda-lilamrta, by Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Versification by Dravida dasa ******************************************************* 1. Her gold complexion steals the pride of golden lotus tinged with red. Her fragrance mocks the scent of lotus bloom with saffron powder spread. Her skill in satisfying Sri Hari is perfect and complete . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 2. Her wondrous silken garments shame the splendor rubies can display. She is a blooming garden where the bee of Krsna loves to play. She worships Surya every day so She and Madhava can meet . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 3. Eclipsed by Radha's tenderness, the fame of budding blossoms dims. The moon, the lotus, sandal paste, and camphor serve Her cooling limbs. When Krsna burns with love's desires, Her soothing touch dispels the heat . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 4. Though youthful goddesses adored by all adore the goddess Sri, She lacks Sri Radha's beauty, youth, and every other quality. So when it comes to lovers' sports, with Radha no one can compete . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 5. In arts like dancing, singing, joking Radha is by far the best. She shines with endless traits divine, like love and gorgeous form and dress. Among the famous gopis of Vrndavan, She's supremely sweet . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 6. Eternal pastimes, beauty, youth, and love for Krsna make Her rich. The loving gopis tremble just to see that love, at highest pitch. Her meditation on Sri Krsna's form and pastimes is complete . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 7. Perspiring, trembling, hairs on end, and crying, falt'ring of the voice, Impatience, joy, and guile--these signs of rapture make Her friends rejoice. For Krsna's eyes Her many jeweled ornaments provide a treat . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 8. Apart from Krsna for a moment, Radha feels anxiety And restlessness and other moods--the highest kind of ecstasy. But when She meets Him with some effort, all Her sufferings retreat . . . May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus feet. 9. Exalted goddesses like Parvati can hardly ever see Sri Krsna's lover, Radhika. But if a humble devotee Recites these verses, then Sri Radha, who enjoys with Sri Hari, Will pour the nectar of Her service down on him eternally. lottsa krishna premai kalaivani radhe govinda namo venkateshaya andal thiruvadigale sharanam _______________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 SrI: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: Dear Sow. Kalaivani, namO nArAyaNa! Thanks for your devotional service by posting the poems of various poets. Some of the songs by devotees of non-SrI-vaishnava sampradAya, although they are sung on SrI krishnA, have stories / philosophies that are not substantiated by the shAstrAs (vEdic scriptures). For instance, the poem you just posted has informations that contradicts the vEdAs. aDiyEn is sure that the members knowledgable in vEdAs will more write about this. > 4. Though youthful goddesses adored by all adore the > goddess Sri, > She lacks Sri Radha's beauty, youth, and every other > quality. > So when it comes to lovers' sports, with Radha no one > can compete . . . > May Radhika bestow on me the service of Her lotus > feet. The above can at best be named as "blasphemy" against vEdAs. The statements made in that poem are found nowhere in the vEdAs. In fact, as per vEdAs, Goddess SrI is the Supreme Goddess, She is asEsaha jagadhIsithrI ( the ruler of the all worlds). She has everything in full and if you don't find something in Her, you can simply not find it in others. Please read aDiyEn's previous post, and follow the link in that mail to read the bakthi-list archives on SrI Stuti of the great achArya, SwAmi vedAnta dESikar translated by SrIman Muralidhar swAmi. Also please read the "SrI Guna rathna kOsam" postings of SrIman sadagOpan swAmi to get the clear understanding of the nature of SrI. http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/jan98/subject.html " 1.

You who are completely endowed with the six auspicious qualities! After receiving your blessings there is no need for anything else. All my thoughts have been converted into Bhakti for you and this is like the Sun light dispelling the darkness caused by SamsAric association. What more can I ask of you? I have been the beneficiary of your cool mercy and auspicious attributes. You have conferred me with all auspiciousness already. When there is nothing that you have not conferred already or when there is nothing that cannot be obtained as a result of offering prayers to you, what more can I ask for?
