Thought Of The Day

Radha-Krishna philosophy is a very great philosophy. It is to be understood in the liberated stage. Radha-Krishna philosophy is not to be understood in the conditioned stage. But when we worship Radha-Krishna in our conditional stage, actually we worship Laksmi-Narayana.

"O Queen of Vrndavana, Sri Radha, I worship You. Your fair complexion is more resplendent than molten gold, the color of Your sari the hue of a blue lotus flower.

Radharani came out from Her inner chamber with a veil over Her head because She never looks at the face of any male person except krsna. That is why She is the most chaste woman throughout creation; she only looks at one person. A devotee is also like that, a chaste devotee only wants to look at one person, krsna. He doesn’t make eye to eye contact with people in this world. Even in vedic society if a woman is chaste to her husband, her husband is her prananatha, she won’t make eye to eye contac

Your curling locks of hair make these tilaka decorations drawn in musk useless and redundant. Your eyes are so beautiful that they make the two lotus flowers on Your ears wilt by comparison. The waves of the beauty of Your splendid smile has crushed Your necklace into dust. O Radharani what is the use of You wearing all these decorations. You are already splendidly decorated by the beauty of Your limbs. These other decoration

Srimati Radharani Talks to a Bumblebee

Srimati Radharani Talks to a Bumblebee

(by Krishna-kripa dasa)

based on Srila Prabhupada's Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

Uddhava, servant of Krishna,
Entered the holy Vraja land.
Krishna sent him with a message
To give to the gopis by hand.

The gopis remembered Lord Krishna,
Hearing of Uddhava's mission,
So much so they forgot their homes
And their external position.

Sri Radha, mad with Krishna thought,
In touch through devotion complete,
Talked to a nearby bumblebee,
Who tried to touch Her lotu
