Sri Radha Krishna's Divine Love
Sri Radha, here with Sri Krishna, is His own Ecstatic Enrapturing Potency,Hladini Shakti, His Bliss aspect. Due to the perfection of Sri Radha's exceedingly glorious Love called Madana Maha Bhav, Lord Krishna Himself, while enjoying as the Object of Her selfless love, then goes beyond this and becomes a repository of Love. Thus the Beloved Sri Krishna seeing the perfect ecstasy of Sri Radha's devotion, Himself becomes the Lover of Sri Radha! In the Divine Leelas they go on changing parts, between Lover and Beloved.
This is the exquisite play of Sri Radha Krishna. That as He was ever the object of Sri Radha's worship, still He always adored Her as His Beloved. Both are Lovers and both are Beloveds. ~Divine~ Sri Radha Krishna.

Sri Krishna Janamashtami´♥ღ¸.•°* with The Poems of Rasakhan *ღ☆¸.•°*♥*ღ☆¸.•°*♥
That Absolute Krishna ღ☆¸.•°*♥
That Absolute Krishna ~
the Creator worships Him night and day.
The ever-auspicious Shiva
constantly meditates upon Him.
That Absolute Krishna is worshiped
by the proud and the foolish ~
by the destitute as well as by kings.
That Absolute Krishna
is honored by yogis and ascetics
while they withstand the cold and heat
that afflicts their bodies.
That Absolute krishna is the Vrindavan Moon,
and He increases loving desires
a million fold.
He is Rasakhan's life, and He liberates
the world from its false pride.
That same lotus-eyed Krishna
now stands before His Mother Yashoda,
anxiously waiting for a milk-sweet.
*♥ *
vei brahm brahma jahi sevat hain rain-din,
sadasiva sada hi dharat dhyan gadhe hain
vei visnu jake kaj mani mudh raja rank
jogi jati hvai kai seet sahyau ang dadhe hain
vei brajachand rasakhani pran pranan ke,
jake abhilakh lakh-lakh bhanti badhe hain
jasudha ke aage basudha ke man-mochan se,
tamras-lochan kharochan kau thadhe hain
*♥ *
*ღ☆¸.•°*♥ *ღ☆¸.•°*♥
A Worthy Mood
Your vitality is real
when God is pleased with it.
Beauty is true when it delights Him.
A head has value when it bows at His feet
and a heart is a heart if it touches Him.
The best milk is milked by Krishna.
Curds are exalted when served by Him.
What else can Rasakhan say?
The mood is worthy if it pleases Him.
*♥ *
pran vahi ju rahain rijhi va par rup vahi jihi vahi rijhayau
sis vahi jin ve parse pad ank vahi jin va parasayau
dudh vahi ju duhayau ri vahi, dahi su sahi ju vahi dharakayau
aur kahan laun kahaun rasakhani ri bhav vahi ju vahi man bhayau

Looted by Love
Since the day I saw
the son of Nanda,
I have abandoned every rule
and severed all ties
with my home.
His beautiful glance
has clobbered me!
I've lost control of my heart ~
I've been looted by Love.
Like a river rushing to the ocean
cannot be contained,
the barriers of my family
have all been shattered.
Rasakhan is intoxicated:
"My heart whirls with Krishna,
a Treasure House of Divine love,
as I gulp the blissful nectar of His beauty."
*♥ *
ja din te nirakhyau nandanandan kani taji kar bandhan tutyau
charu bilokin kini sumar samhar gai man mor ne lutyau
sagar ke salila jimi dhave na roki rukai kul ko pul tutyau
matta bhayau man sang phire rasakhani sarup sudharas ghutyau
*♥ *
*ღ☆¸.•°*♥ *ღ☆¸.•°*♥
My Beloved
I will adorn Hari's heart with a flower garland
of jasmine and kunda flowers
that I have gathered from the bowers
filled with gunja berries
and beautiful creepers.
O, friend! When will I be able to delight
and please my Beloved.?
My plan is to suddenly call out to Hari.
Then, that abode of Elixir will
turn around, look at me,
and smile.
*♥ *
kunjani kunjani gunja ke punjani manju latani sau mala banaibo
malati mallika kund sau gundi hara hari ke hiyra pahiraibo
ali kabai in bhavne bhaine aapun rijhi kai pyare rijhaibo
mai jhakai Hari hankaribo rasakhani takai phiri kai musikaibo

The Magic Flute
What magic is Hari filled with today
that makes His flute so full of enchantment?
Whoever hears His flute's song
abandons all sense of worldly decorum
in a moment!
My clever friend, what to say?
Now, the youthful ladies
dally around Krishna's door.
In this circle of Vraja, there is not a single lady left
who has not been plundered
by that blissful Treasure!
*♥ *
Kaun thagauri bhari Hari aju bajai hai bansuriya rang-bhini
tan sunin jinhin tinhin tabhin tit saj bida kara dini
ghumain ghari nand ke dvar navini kaha kahun bal pravini
ya braja-mandal main rasakhani su kaun bhatu ju latu nahin kini
*♥ *
*ღ☆¸.•°*♥ *ღ☆¸.•°*♥
Rasakhan says,
“Worship Govinda the way a village woman balances a
water jug upon her head, with effortless concentration.”

Happy Hariyali Teej! ஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜ ♥.•¤**¤•.¸.•¤**¤•♥ *•. .•* * ♥
when we find ...'Sri Krishna Nirikshaya Vanita Utsava!'
That the Lord Krishna Himself is a complete Festival
for all women!! Just like the Hariyali Teej is a Festival
for all women. He is the essence of all that is charming,
attractive, delightful and absorbing by His perfect Lilas.
He steals the hearts of the Gopis and possesses their minds
with His side-long glance, dashing smile and sweet whispers.
Even the peacocks are dazzled by His flute and graceful dance
in this most enchanting time of the bright half of rainy Sravana.
This is the time when the finest cool breezes graze the green
Tulsi gardens of Sri Vrindavan in the heart of all the devotees
and they respond by singing and decorating with lustrous flowers
beautiful swings for the Beloved Couple to enjoy the Hari Ras
of Their Divine Play in this magical season of over-whelming Love.
Now is the moment to feel and see in the heart the Eternal Pass time
in all its fragrant and lush beauty, astonishingly intoxicating beyond words,
the Divine Couple, Sri Radha Krishna, the most dear and the most Beloved.

What about Krishna's Flute? ♫*•*¨¨*•♫•♫ ♫*•*¨¨*•♫•♫
" To awaken their divine attachment
Hari entered Vrindavan playing His flute.
The Svanminis sang about the song of His flute
Whoever is attached to His attributes
Ends up attached to Him."
"Separation is Krishna in the heart.
Union is Krishna in the world."
......
"They are His divine powers,
His shaktis,
They abide in the glades of Vrindavan
For His sheer enjoyment."
"Their love is to be emulated."
......
"What is profound does not appear before all.
This lila is not openly revealed
because ras only flourishes in concealment."
"The Svaminis are intimate with Gopal.
And experience Him through every door of perception."
.....
"The call of Shri Krishna's flute
Kindles in those women
Who live around the hills and waters of Braja
The spiritual conjugal mood.
.....
"There are others who are nearby but cannot hear.
Lila is replete with purpose and Krishna
Awakens only those whose time has come.
Others simply will not respond to His calling."
"It is a Lila-Invitation.
Is Overwhelming!!"
..............
These are excerpts from ~
"Venu-Gita"
(The Song of the Flute)

☆°•. ★¸.•*¨Sri Radha Ashtami ~ Sept.13,2013¸.•°☆°•. ★¸.•*¨
I think of my Sri Radha in my deepest inmost thoughts.
I know she is there, unmoving, forever mine ~
I am conscious of her presence...
Beautiful one, your face is lovely as the moon,
and the nightingales singing in wild abandon
wrench at my heart and are driving me distracted!
Speak to me, my love, speak such words to me
that I shall be anointed by them; as a king is anointed
by sacred holy oil, let me be anointed by the honeyed
sweetness of your words.
My love, my love, you are my all -
my secret wealth, my jewel, my gem
in a vast ocean that contains all loveliness.
My Radha, there is in my heart one idea,
in my mind one thought ~ My love,
it is you held by my encircling love.
~ Gita Govind ~
Jaya Dev
"Shree Radhey"
Blessed One,
In the Grace, ever since merging in the ecstasy of the uttermost Grace of Divinity, the silent communication of the heart is inscrutable as He Himself and His Lila.
On the occasion of Sri Radha Ashtami we visit Sri Barsana, the blissful realm of Sri Radha. All devotees gather at Sri Ji's Mandir at the break of dawn to witness the Mangala Arti then kirtan, and the Samaj continues singing throughout the night, to the Abhishek, the auspicious bathing of Sri Radha with curds and milk. The sacred Samaj of Sri Radha's Advent is sung with great devotion as the sun rises over Sri Ji's Dham.
Each day following Radha Ashtami special Raslilas are performed at the sacred sites where Sri Thakurji and His Beloved perform even to this day, their Lilas. At Sri Prem Srovar, a sacred tank filled with the tears of the Divine Couple Sri Gopal Chandra Dev is taken out on a gorgeously decorated barge and afterward He and Sri Ji watch fireworks from a beautiful throne in front of their temple. At Mur Kuti, site of the Peacock Dance this Lila is performed. Jhulan (swing) Lila is done at Vilas Ghar, where Sri Ji and Shyam Sunder pass their time in Divine Love Dalliance and again repeat their Lila in the forest of Ghaverban. At Priya Kund the deities of Jaipur Raj Mandir also go boating to the delight of all, and a glorious samaj is sung while carrying the Divinities back to the temple, and end at Sri Ji's Temple. At Sankrikor, the narrow ravine where Sri Thakurji demanded a 'tax' of curd and milk from Sri Radha and the Gopis going to market, the Lila and Samaj are re-enacted. The ecstasy of these occasions cannot be easily communicated!
Kadam Kandi is a very beautiful green forest between dry brown hills, where Sri Naga Baba did his sadhana. Once while walking in the forest his long hair was caught in a tree and he refused to allow anyone to disentangle it. He wanted the Jugal Kishore (Sri Radha and Krishna) to free him. When Sri Thakurji Himself appeared, Naga Baba told Him to go away and come back with Sri Radhika - and he did so to free His bhakta! A grand mela (festival) and Lila happens in this holy place in the valley and atop the hill at the Samadhi of Sri Naga Baba. All the Gopis of the very caste who once played with Sri Gopal come in the same colorful dress they have worn for centuries - filling the lovely tree-shaded kund amidst the forest with a flood of orange, red, gold and green, as well as old traditional kirtans. Thence all the devotees go on to Kama for darshan. Kama is a 'second Vrindavan', a city of many, many temples... There is also an ancient ruined temple atop the hill with 84 mystic pillars, one for every 'kos' (2 miles) of the 84 kos of Vraj Dham, (the 84 sacred sites of Vraj).
From Kama the Mela moves to Karehla, where Maha Ras Lila is performed but once a year, on Purnima (full-moon). Here, at the site of the original Ras Lila, a masterly crafted golden mukhet (crown) 500 years old, is worn by Thakurji, a once a year darshan. One then proceeds to Pashia, a supremely holy forest, unchanged from the time of the Mahabharat, when Sri Krishna graced this earth. Ashwatthama, son of Dronacharya, killed the children of the Pandavas by treachery. Arjuna did not kill him because he was the son of his Guru, but shaved his head and beard, a sign of disgrace. Ashwatthama retired to Pashia, where he did great penance to please Lord Shankara. The inhabitants of the surrounding villages believe he still dwells in this woods and it has not been touched by profane hands. Only sadhus living within the forest will take the dead wood to burn, within the forest itself, otherwise each tree, plant and animal lives and dies according to its Karma in its own place. Each Saturday the people of the neighboring villages do parikrama of the forest to obtain the blessings of Ashwatthama, who is very kind, they say, who cures illnesses and grants boons. The forest remains today just as the woods and hermitages, which Sri Ram Chandra passed through when He was exiled, are discribed by Goswami Tulsidasji in his Ram Charitmanasa.
Since then, Shanji has been going on in Vraj. Shanjis are mystical diagrams of sacred places in Vraj. Just as they were made by Sri Radhika and Her Sakhis, the girls of Vraj make them today at their homes, on the walls, with cow dung and flowers. At Sri Ji Mandir the Samaj of how Sri Radhika and Her friends made Shanjis is sung daily, and a beautiful Shanji, made with colored sand is prepared. Uchogam, the village of Lalita Sakhi, was made showing the temples, sacred kund, Gopis and Gopas, animals; then Prem Sarover, Sanket (where Radha and Krishna met for the first time), Nandagaon, Kokilban, and Sheshshai - the bed of the snake Shesha, on which Sri Narayan lies on the ocean of milk (khir, according to Vrajavasis...), served by Sri Lakshmi, with the Lotus of the 14 worlds, the seat of Brahma, sprouting from His Naval.

The Divine 'Hariali Tij' *ღ☆¸.•°*♥
.jpg)
The blissful mysterious, sacred rainy month of Sravan is observed in the incessent pouring forth of nectarean showers, filling the waters of Sri Jamunaji to overflowing ~ like the shower of Divine Grace!
Ah, the bountiful clouds roaming in the vast heavens murmur their secret rejoicing in the resplendent beauty of the lush green groves amidst which Sri Radha & Sri Krishna are seated in a swing attended by their Sakhis. The climax of this bhav merges in that occasion called 'Hariali Tij' when everywhere seems clothed in an immense and wonderful green robe, enhancing the enchanting sight of the Divine Couple swinging in the clustered retreats.
On this day of 'Hariali Tij', Sri Bankey Bihari in the mood of enjoying this blissful month of showers bestows His gracious 'darshan' upon His devotees from His swing in the superbly decorated shrine. His swinging into the heart of His devotees resembles the infinite eternity, beginningless, endless. All thoughts leave the mind but that one which seeks to become His playmate on His swing. In this way He transcends one across the limitations of the phenomenal world perception, beyond the three-fold veil of waking, dreaming and deep sleep states to behold His blissful swing, revolutionizing the life to its complete dedication to His sweet Divine will.
In these days, the Ras Lila reaches its climax to the accompaniment of the songs composed by the saints and sung in the same harmony of the swing.
And at present, as the life of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji unfolds day by day before the crowd of ardent devotees, the resounding cry of "Hari bol!" is pervading the hearts of all with the sublime ecstasy of Lord Gauranga. Observing the ecstatic dance showers the fervour of Sri Chaitanya's consciousness, merging one in the bliss of his divine mood. The life of Mahaprabhuji increases the devotion to Sri Krishna who, accompanied by Sri Radha, has incarnated in this form as Sri Chaitanya. From time to time to establish God-consciousness, He Himself incarnates on this earth, and the perennial inspiration of His Divine incarnations ceaselessly beckons the world unto His eternal Divinity.
From the letters of Baba Sripadji
