Radha Kunda Tata Kunja Kutir

TRANSLATION

1-6) The cottage in the grove on the banks of Radha-kunda, the great Govardhana Hill, the banks of the
Yamuna, Kusuma-sarovara, Manasaganga, the daughter of Kalinda (the Yamuna) with her many waves, the
Vamsi-vat, Gokula, Dhirasamira, the trees and creepers and reeds of Vrdavana, the different varieties of colorful
birds, the deer, the cooling breeze from the Malaya Mountains, the peacocks, the bumblebees, the pastimes with
the flute, the flute itself, the buffalo horn bugle, the footprints of cows in the dust of Vraja, the rows of blackish
rain clouds, springtime, the moon, the conchsell, and the karatalas – all these I know to be very conductive for
the pastimes of Radha and Krsna. I recognize in them a transcendental stimulus for making the Lord’s
charming pastimes more intense.

7) I refuse to go anywhere if there stimuli to devotional service are not there, for to abandon them is to abandon
life itself.

8) Bhaktivinoda says, “Please hear me, O Kana! Your entourage and paraphernalia stimulate remembrance of You
and are the very source of my life.”
