Auspicious Maha Shivaratri - Glories of Divine Abode

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste.

 

Great Advaita philosopher and the Rasik Saint, Sri Prabodhananda

Saraswati has also prayed in his 'Sri Vrindavana Mahimamrita' verses:

 

"Listen, brother. I vow that what I say is true.

Although nothing is sweeter than Lord Hari's feet,

the wonder of the dust of Sri Vrindavana-Kamadeva's

feet is sweeter still! (Kamadeva=Cupid)

 

My heart does not yearn for final liberation

in Lord Hari's Vaikuntha, which is difficult

even for the celestial rulers to attain.

I only pray that I may accept the body of

a blade of grass in the land of Vrindavana,

where Sri Gandharvika Radhika-Muralidhara Hari

place Their charming lotus feet."

 

(SVMS 34,92)

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
