“Shyam Radhe Radhe, Ghansyam Radhe Radhe
Shyam Radhe Radhe, Ghansyam Radhe Radhe
Shyam Radhe Radhe, Ghansyam Radhe Radhe

Nikunja me virajo Ghansyam Radhe Radhe
Nikunja me virajo Ghansyam Radhe Radhe”

At appropriate time, Gopis make that appeal to Radha Shyamsundar, you may now enter Nikunja, these are special forest gardens, where only Radha and Shyamsundar enter others stay outside, this is an appeal “Nikunja me virajo Ghansyam Radhe Radhe”

Oh! Ghansyam. Oh! Radharani, you may now enter Nikunjas, Nikunja…

“Sri Sri Radha Syamsundar ki jai”

“jayatam suratau pangor mama manda-mater gati
Mat-sarvasva-padambhojau radha-madana-mohanau”

Guadiya vaishnavas worship 3 deities of Vrindavan, the first they approach is Radha Madan Mohan, Madan Mohan, Madan is cupid, is a demigod, incharge of lust, and he goes around his puspaban, the arrow which also has flowers, keeps shooting right into the hearts, specially of those who are the young ones, young at heart and excites them. He arouses lusty feelings in them. This, Madan is very very beautiful, charming and specially empowered to attack the hearts with his arrows. The devotees, they take shelter of Madan Mohan , the Lord who attracts this Madan, Madan who attracts others, people of this world, young men and women get attracted to each other because of the influence of the Madan, then the Mohan, he does, he attracts this Madan to him. He makes Madan powerless.

“kandarpa koti kamniya vesesha shobham govindam adi purusam tamham bhajami”

We offer our most humble obeisance’s at the lotus feet of Govinda because he attracts this Madan.

“Kandarpa koti kamniya vesesha shobham”

This Krishna, Madan Mohan is so attractive that he attracts this Madan, not just one Madan, Kandarapa same thing, Kamdev Kamdev that is another name, so kandarpa koti koti, millions of cupids are attracted by the beauty of the Personality of Godhead. Hence, we take shelter of that Lord Krishna, known as Madan Mohan and once we are, we have a shelter of Madan Mohan means we have no more influence of this Madan. Then we approach another deity in Vrindavan that is Radha Govind, once we are free from this influence of kama, the lust, than we could settle in our devotional service, the spiritual life that becomes possible with the help of

Radha Govind ki jai …

“divyad-vrndaranya-kalpa-drumadhah
Srimad-ratnagara-simhasana-sthau
Sri-sri-radha-srila-govinda-devau
Presthalibhih sevyamanam smarami”

Smarami I remember, I meditate upon that Radha Govind, vrndaranya, Vrinda-aranya, that is vrindavan, aranya– forest, Vrinda-aranya, in Vrindavan, there are “kalpa-drumadhah” there are desire tree, kalpavrukshas, kalpa-drumadhah, underneath, under those kalpavruksha, or one of those desire trees, “simhasana-sthau” there is a throne, bedecked with jewels. “Sri-sri-radha-srila-govinda-devau” and seated on that throne are Radha and Govind.

“Sri-sri-radha-srila-govinda-devau
Presthalibhih sevyamanau smarami”

Presthalibhih, that Radha Govind is surrounded by very dear – Presth, alibhih–Gopis, specially lots of times, there are only astasakhis there. “Presthalibhih sevyamanau” and they are very very busy, absorbed these sakhis, gopis, manjaries also are serving this divine couple in so many varieties of ways, each one has a role to play, service to render.

“Presthalibhih sevyamanam smarami”

This is my meditation or I would like to meditate upon Radha Govind.

Srimaan-rasa-rasarambhi-vamsivata-tatasthitah
karsan-venur-svanair-gopi-gopinath-sriye-sunah

Then finally guadiya vaishnvas destination is Radha Gopinath, Nath, the master of the Gopis, Gopinath.

srimaan-rasa-rasarambhi

That lord at the beginning of the rasa, rasa-rasarambhi, before even the beginning of rasa, “vamsivat,” He climbs up a tree called vamsivat and he plays his flute and he sends invitation to all the Gopis to come and join him there in that particular forest and this is around 10.30 pm, He does this, while whole Vraja is entirely fast asleep, Krishna wakes up, Radha Gopinath wakes up, and that is His time for his most confidential devotees and associates called Gopis, headed by Srimati Radhika. So several hours, there is no disturbance of any sort, no other obligations, He just wholly and solely of His Gopies and specially of Radharani and they are ofcourse His, they are also kind of Him, they are Him, nondifferent, they are His potency, He is shaktiman and they are his shakti, He is their source, He is a powerhouse and they are the power, He is the potent and they are the potencies called Alahdini shaktis, pleasure potencies of the Lord, so Lord is just playing with His own energies, He is expanding, Radharani is Krishna, Krishna expands and he becomes Radharani, Radharani further expands and she becomes Gopis. So it is just, He is playing with Himself, with His extensions, expansions, His energies, He has right to do so.
