Bhaktivinod Thakur has written this song \u201cRadhika Carana Padmama\u201d. The Official Name for this song is Sri Radhikastakam Song 1. This song is taken from the book Gitavali. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says Radha and Krishna are one, but when Sri Krishna wants to enjoy, He manifests Himself as Radha.<\/p>\n
(1)
\nradhika-carana-padma, sakala sreyera sadma,
\njatane je nahi aradhilo
\nradha-padmankita dhama, brndabana jar nama,
\ntaha je na asroy korilo<\/p>\n
(2)
\nradhika-bhava-gambhir, citta jeba mahadhir,
\ngana-sanga na koilo jivane
\nkemone se syamananda, rasa-sindhu-snanananda,
\nlabhibe bujhoha eka-mane<\/p>\n
(3)
\nradhika ujjvala-raser acarya
\nradha-madhava-suddha-prem vicarya<\/p>\n
(4)
\nje dharilo radha-pada parama jatane
\nse pailo krsna-pada amulya-ratane<\/p>\n
(5)
\nradha-pada vina kabhu krsna nahi mile
\nradhar dasir krsna sarva-vede bole<\/p>\n
(6)
\nchodata dhana-jan, kalatra-suta-mita,
\nchodata karama geyan
\nradha-pada-pankaja, madhurata sevan,
\nbhakativinoda paraman<\/p>\n
(1) He who has failed to carefully worship the lotus feet of Srimati Radhika, which are the abode of all auspiciousness; he who has not taken shelter in the transcendental abode known asVrndavana, which is decorated with the beautiful lotus flower named Radha\u2026<\/p>\n
(2) \u2026he who in this life has not associated with the devotees of Radhika, who are very wise and whose devotion for Radha is very deep-how will such a person ever experience the bliss of bathing in the ocean of Lord Syama’s sublime mellows? Please understand this most attentively.<\/p>\n
(3) Srimati Radhika is the exemplary teacher of the brilliant mellows of conjugal love. This pure love between Radha and Madhava is worthy of discussion and contemplation.<\/p>\n
(4) He who has grasped hold of the lotus feet of Radha with great care obtains the lotus feet of Krsna, which are like priceless jewels.<\/p>\n
(5) Without taking shelter of the lotus feet of Radha, one can never personally meet Lord Krsna. The Vedic scriptures declare that Krsna is the property of the maidservants of Sri Radha.<\/p>\n
(6) Abandoning wealth, followers, wife, sons, and friends, and giving up materialistic activities and intellectual knowledge, being absorbed in the sweetness of service to the lotus feet ofSrimati Radharani-this is Bhaktivinoda’s conviction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
