It's easy to be attracted to Krishna... Krishna is all-attractive you know... He is virtuous, playful, heroic... He is handsome... stylish (thought of wearing earrings before David Bowie or any of those other guys decided it was cool /images/graemlins/wink.gif Long black hair... and besides that He is god, He is living forever in your heart, He is the only person through your many births that remembers you through ALL of them, that is always with you through all your existence.

 

So how can Radha not love Him?

Meaning:

Sweet are Your lips, sweet is Your face, sweet are Your eyes, sweet is Your smile, sweet is Your

heart, sweet is Your gait, O Lord of Mathura, everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet are Your words, sweet is Your story, sweet are Your garments, sweet is Your presence,

sweet are Your movements, sweet are Your roamings, O Lord of Mathura, everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet is Your flute, sweet is the dust of Your feet, sweet are Your hands, sweet are Your feet,

sweet is Your dance, sweet is Your friendship, O Lord of Mathura, everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet is Your song, what is drunk by You is sweet, what is eaten by You is sweet, and sweet is

Your sleep. Sweet is Your form, sweet is the mark on Your forehead, O Lord of Mathura,

everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet are Your works, sweet is Your conquest, sweet is Your theft, sweet is Your remembrance,

sweet are Your offerings, sweet is Your cure, O Lord of Mathura,

everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet is Your murmuring, sweet is Your garland, sweet is the Yamuna River, sweet are the

waves, sweet is the water, sweet is the lotus flower, O Lord of Mathura, everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet are the Gopis, sweet is Your divine sporting, sweet is Your union, sweet are Your

experiences, what You behold is sweet, sweet are Your left overs, O Lord of Mathura, everything about You is sweet.

 

Sweet are the Gopas, sweet are the cows, sweet are the pearls around Your neck, sweet is

Your creation, sweet are Your victories, sweet are Your jokes, O Lord of Mathura, everything about You is sweet.

 

Thus is completed the Madhuraashtakam of Sri Vallabhacharya
