Yadu Nanda Ānanda Nanda Gopāla

Lord Krishna, the son of the Yadu dynasty is the bliss of Nanda Maharaj. He is the protector of the cows, cowherds and all beings. He is enacting His Divine play as the cowherd. He is the beloved of Srī Rādhā. He is the Lord of the universe. He is the supremely blissful Lord Srī Hari. He gives joy to His beloved Srī Rādhā. 'When I see His ways, I sing. Thus I find peace, O brothers. O brothers, lose yourself in the Word; the true Guru shall lead you to Deva. Where light shimmers, there resounds the unsounded Word. light blends with light: this I perceived by the Guru's Grace. There were rubies bright as lightning in my own lotus-room. He is near, not far. He fills my very breath. Where shines the eternal Sun, there a lamp also dimly burns. I finally understood by the Guru's Grace. now the slave Namdeva is blended with the Eternal.' - Namdev -
