Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Namaste all. Here is a 'pada' composed by Jagadguru Sri Kripaluji Maharaj from 'Prema Rasa Madira - Wine of Divine Love': 'rasika rangeelo shyaam hamaaro....' When listening to this 'kirtana' sung by the Divine lovers at JKP Ashrams with choked voice and flooding eyes, the devotees may feel like rolling on the ground in true 'K-craziness'! 'rasika rangeelo shyaam hamaaro....' A Vraja Rasik Saint in Madhurya Rasa of Gopi-bhava remembering the Divine Beloved, tastefully recounting His sweet Divine form, virtues and lilas of Divine Love: My (Our) Divine Beloved Shyama Sundar is the Crest Jewel of all the Rasikas, the Connoiseurs of Love! indra-neela-mani neela kalevara, lakhi laajata sata kaam, hamaaro... His beautiful, enchanting Divine body with brilliant, cool-blue complexion puts to shame thousands of Cupids, the gods of worldly beauty and charm combined together! chalakata prema-sudhaa-rasa chitavani, mridu musukani abhiraam, hamaaro... What to speak of His seductive tender smile, His piercingly sharp, handsome looks overflowing with blissful nectar of amorous Love! He is simply captivating my mind and filling my heart with Divine passion! madhura, madhura dhuni venu bajaavata, mana bhaavata braja bhaam, hamaaro... On top of all this, when He plays sweetest Divine melodies on His flute stealing my lifebreath, He is enticing not only my 'self', but also all the souls of blessed Gopis, the maidens of Vraja! kabahun sakhana sanga, kabahun sakhina sanga, viharata aathoyaam, hamaaro... My Dark Beloved always, twentyfour hours of the day, frolicking in the sacred bowers of Vrindavana, sometimes enjoying the company of His cowherd friends during the day and secret daliances with love-lorn cowherdesses, His sweetheart Gopis at night! lakhata 'kripaalu' shambhu-suka jhaanki, sri vrindavana dhaam, hamaaro... In the concluding verse, the Poet-Saint reminds the devotees the transcendental nature of Lord Krishna by declaring that these Divine pastimes of the amorous Deity of Vrindavana are eagerly yearned after, visualized in the heart and meditatated upon even by the liberated sage like Sukadeva Paramahamsa and Bhagavan Shankarji himself.

If you have any desire to enjoy the company of your family and relatives then do not ever look at the body of Sri Hari here down by the river at Kesi Ghat!! He has a charming sweet smile and stands in triple-curved attractive posture, darting His restless amorous sidelong glances, placing the flute on His soft leaflet-lips adorned in handsome peacock-feathered diadem. - B R S Jaya Sri Radhey!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Namaste. _/\_ Sri Kripaluji Maharaj often quotes these verses of Vraja Rasik Saints to describe the Divine beauty and charm of Lord Krishna Who is bewildered by His own reflection in jewelled pillars: 'roop dekhi apanaare....' (Vraja bhasha) aparikalita-pUrvaH kaz camatkAra-kArI sphurati mama garIyAn eSa mAdhurya-pUraH | ayam aham api hanta prekSya yaM lubdha-cetAH sarabhasam upabhoktuM kAmaye rAdhikeva || LM 8.92 || (Sanskrit) Lalita-madhava Nataka, Sri Roopa Sri Krishna says to Himself: What is This on the jewelled wall that enchants My heart with Its sweetness? (He looks again) Ah! How have I become reflected here? (Joyfully excited) Who manifests there such an abundance of sweetness greater than Mine, Which has never been experienced before and Which causes wonder to all including Me? Alas, I Myself, My mind bewildered upon seeing this Supreme beauty, impetuously desire to enjoy It like My Sweetheart, Radharani Herself. Jaya Sri Radhey!
