Yamunā Kināre

Srī Rādhā Dekhe Krishna Ko, Aur Krishna Rādhikā Or, Aba Kisko Kahun Main Chandramā, Aur Kisko Kahun Chakor Yamunā Kināre-e Srī Rādhā looks at Srī Krishna and Srī Krishna looks towards Srī Rādhā. Whom shall I call the Moon and whom the Chakor (a bird that looks at the Moon with great longing). On the banks of the Yamunā… The stars are twinkling in the sky on the banks of the Yamunā river, where Srī Krishna, the son of Mother Yashodā and Nanda Maharaj is playing the melodious flute. By repeatedly listening to this, Srī Rādhā’s heart starts beating faster. 1) Wearing anklets on Her Feet, see very quietly and stealthily, Srī Rādhā with a fair complexion, is leaving the home. She came under the Kadamba tree, pulling Her veil down where Srī Krishna, the son of Mother Yashodā and Nanda Maharaj is playing the melodious flute. By repeatedly listening to this, Srī Rādhā’s heart starts beating faster. 2) But Srī Krishna was very mischievous. He held Srī Rādhā’s arm. Srī Rādhā’s soft heart is dancing with pleasure. The pitcher of love overflows, the veil slips off Srī Rādhā’s head. 3) This is the most beautiful scene of the sweet meeting of Srī Rādhā and Her beloved Srī Krishna. Seeing this the thick black clouds arose and wandered in the sky. Blown by strong winds, the clouds burst and thunder. There was sudden heavy rainfall. Gokul got wet, Madhuvan got wet. Srī Krishna playing the flute got drenched in the rain. Srī Rādhā also got drenched in the rain. Their union got drenched too! The birds are starting to sing (chirp-twitter) at dawn, the jewel-like eyes open. Srī Rādhā is present everywhere in Vrindāvan, Nanda Gaon, Barsana, Govardhan mountain, Chandra lake, the sacred lake Kusum, Manasi Ganga lake, Gehvar forest, at Mor Kutir and under the Banyan tree on the banks of Yamunā river. The gopis, cowherds and the cows sing the glories of Srī Rādhā. Let’s all say with love the sweet Name of Srī Rādhā. Srī Rādhā is the most beautiful of all. Her birth place is Barsana. She is the beloved daughter of king Vrishbhanu. She has a fair complexion. She is full of youth and vigour. She abides in the heart of Lord Krishna and the hearts of Her devotees. With love sing the glories of sweet Srī Rādhā!
