BEAUTY OF RADHARANI AS SAID BY SRILA RUPA GOSWAMI

Srila Rups Goswami sings the beauty of Srimati Radharani like this:

"O Radharani,

O Queen of Vrindavana,

Your complexion is like molten gold, 

Your doe-like eyes are aptivatingly restless, 

a million full and brilliant moons wane before Your lustrous countenance, 

and a blue sari, having stolen the hue of a fresh rain-laden cloud, has enwrapped Your exquisite form. 

O Radha, You are the crest-jewel of all the dallying damsels of Vrindavana, 

Fragrant and pristine like a budding jasmine flower. 

Your sublime form is adorned with priceless jewellery, 

You are the best of all the charming and intelligent gopis. 

You are decorated with all wonderful excellences,

You are always surrounded by eight dedicated and beloved cowherd girls known as the asta-sakhis.

"The ambrosia of Your beautiful lips, red as the bimba fruit, 

is life-giving syrup to Krishna. 

O Radha, I am rolling on the banks of the Yamuna, 

My poor heart filled with anticipation, 

Praying to You with all humility. 

I am guilty of being an offender,  a rascal, a useless wretch,

Yet I beg You to kindly engage me in even the smallest service to Your lotus feet. 

O most merciful Lady, 

it will not become You to ignore this most distressed soul, 

for Your heart is always overflowing with compassion and love."
