Kishori Ji is scolding Shyāmasundara, who is attempting to braid and decorate Her hair... "Śhyāma! You give the Rasikas a bad name.

You roam around with illiterate cowherd boys all day in the forests grazing cattle, then how can You possibly learn the skills necessary to serve someone you love?

You are just entangling My hair in the name of braiding. Which guru has taught You this unique method of braiding hair?

Stop it right now, or my Sakhīs will laugh at Me when they see Your marvelous work.

I prefer to wear My hair open, to this. When You decorate My hair with flowers it looks like someone has dropped flowers on the idol of Shiva as an offering!

When You fan Me, You start a windstorm which blows all those flowers off My head!"

Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj says, “All glories to the Crest Jewel of Rasikas such as Yourself and blessed is Kishorī Jī, who has to put up with a Lover like You."

Live recorded kirtan during the daily evening Satsang in October 2024 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.

Maharas leela is an extensive leela of Radha Krishn and the Gopis that revealed all the aspects of Divine love during Their singing, dancing and playing near Kalindi in Vrindaban. About 5,000 years ago this leela had happened on this earth planet when, on a particular Sharad Poornima night, Shree Krishn Divinely extended the length of that night to about 180 times, and, all the time, uncountable milions of Gopis ceaselessly danced and played with Him. They were so engrossed in that Bliss that that length of time felt very little to them.

Radha and Krishn were in the center of the field of maharas and Lalita etc. Gopis were around Them. This pad is the description of a small section of the first part of the maharas leela when Radha Rani revealed the Bliss of the maan and pranaya state of Divine love.)

Radha Krishn are outpouring the supreme Bliss of raas in Vrindaban.

With uncountable Gopis of Braj, on the Sharad Poornima night, Shree Krishn is playing soul-catching notes on His flute.

Hearing that, gyani Saints abandoned their relishment of the Divine sound, anahad nad, and relinquished their samadhi state, considering them to be an obstacle in the enjoyment of the sound of Krishn's flute.

Radha and Krishn are Both singing and dancing, and, at the same time, They are also doing the Divine leelas of intimate nature.

(Suddenly, during the movement of the dance as They come close together, Their adornments entangled and They came to a standstill). That side, Krishn's ear ornament got entangled with the tresses of Radha Rani, and on this side, Radha's besar with Krishn's got entangled with Krishn's vanmala.

This rejoiced halt thrilled Their hearts, and Both, Lal and Lali, (standing very close,) are unentangling each other's ornament with Their hands.

(Krishn's peetambar had slipped down from His chest during this period and so, the natural shiny glow of Krishn's body showed the reflection of Radha's face on it as Her face was quite close to His chest.) When Radha noticed the female figure on Krishn's body (out of Her extreme innocent lovingness) She considered it to be some other woman, and then She did maan.

Lali Radha became irritated. She moved away and sat at another place, holding Her chin on Her palm and arching Her eyebrows in anger.

"(Krishn had no clue of this sudden happening. He thought probably some of His actions might have annoyed Her.) So, taking Lalita with Him, Krishn comes to Radha and, with folded hands and tears in His eyes and with a trembling heart, He propitiates Her to be appeased."

Radha moved Her body, and turning Her face to the other side, She angrily says, "Holding some other woman in Your heart You are again coming to me."

Perplexed, Giridhar Krishn is in a fix. He doesn't know what to do now. With trickling tears, He is simply standing. (Lalita had to think fast. She discovered that shiny glow of Krishn's bodv holds the reflection of the person standing close by. She thought that Radha would have seen the faint outline of Her own face on Krishn's chest and would have thought that Krishn was dancing with Her and remembering some other woman in His heart, and that could be the reason of Her maan.)

(Knowing this, she quickly took off her choonari.) With the help of Lalita, Krishn used her pink choonari to hide the glow of His body.

Radha, looking sidelong to Krishn (and not seeing that image again), felt happy. She smiled, got up, and lovingly hugged Her beloved Krishn.

You have showered so much kindness on me, but still I am unable to realize the importance of it; nor can I ever repay You.

I have come to Your door even though I know I am not worthy of Your Grace.

I lost myself in worldly desires to the point that I never took Your name (or remembered You) even once.

I am so guilty and sinful that I am not even worthy of showing You my face.

Even though You have Graced me with this human birth, I have still not realized Your greatness.

I am so indebted to Your Grace that I can never repay You.

Although I know that You are the Divine benefactor of the entire creation, how can I ask You for more.......

...when I have not availed myself of what You have already given me.

All I desire is to become surrendered to You and to have just one glimpse of You in my heart.

O my Lord! I have nothing else to offer You other than my heart.

Live recorded kirtan during the 5 day Sankirtan in December 2023 from Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple of JKP Radha Madhav Dham, Austin, TX.

(This pad is a brief description of the Ras Panchadhyayi of the Bhagwatam.) The intimate Bliss of Radha Krishn, which is unlimited times higher than the Bliss of the Divine yogis, is pouring in Vrindavan.

On the banks of river Yamuna where the grounds are paved with jewels,

And near Vanshivat, in the Sharad Poornima night (of the autumn) when the cool light of the full moon is spraying its charm all over,

In the winsome style of a humble lover,

The enticer of Gopis' hearts, supreme rasik, Krishn, is rejoicing His adored Love, Radha Rani (with a desire to seek Her consent to do maharas as He had promised to the Gopis. Radha Rani looks at Him, lovingly smiles, briefly nods in affirmation, and disappears).

Krishn looked around and found that the flowers of the spring were also blooming in the autumn/fall (which was the indication of the speciality of the occasion and the Grace of Radha Rani). 

His self-complacent mind was encharmed with the surrounding beauty, 

And the desire to do raas appeared in His heart.

In the meantime, Kamdev, the god of love also showed up with his full romantic powers to try the self- complacency of Krishn.

The sages of Dandak forest, Graced by Bhagwan Ram,

The maidens of the hladini power, Janki ji (Sita ji),

And the richas of the Vedas (who had received the Grace of Krishn), all of them, desiring to receive the Bliss of maharas, appeared in Braj. (They were called sadhan siddha Gopis. Apart from them,)

The nitya siddha Gopis of Golok had also appeared in Braj as Gopis (and they were all anxiously waiting for that particular Sharad Poornima night.

(The time had come, so, Krishn called for the Gopis and played a special note on His flute near Vanshivat.) Hearing the heart-enticing sound of the flute of their beloved Krishn, 

All the Gopis of Braj ran to Him, (and formed well organized circles for doing maharas). 

Like the lightning and the cloud, Radha and Krishn glorified the center of the maharas. 

(When all the preliminaries were done, with the help of His amazing power, yogmaya,) Krishn multiplied Himself into uncountable forms and joined all the Gopis individually. (Thus, there was a continuous line of one Gopi and one Krishn in all the circles.)

(Now the maharas started.) The Gopis, and Radha and Krishn started singing soul-exciting songs in the classical style of various rag with heart-catching tan and alaap, 

With the exactings of the seven prime notes, sa-re-ga-ma-pa-ḍha-ni. 

At that time, the youthful goddesses of the celestial abodes also came to watch this happening and they were all sitting in their celestial chariots in the sky. 

The musical instruments that were used in maharas, like the cymbal, drum etc., were all well tuned and synchronized, and were producing a sweet, soft and loving melody.

(Now the Gopis started dancing with elegant movements of all the five parts of their body.) Swaying, rolling, swinging and moving their body and slim waist,

They are twisting, dancing, walking, stepping and coordinating their heels and steps with the sound and the beat of the drum (mridang).

They are lovingly arching their eye- brows and are darting their sidelong glances (to their beloved Krishn).

The lovely movements of the upper part of their body and neck, and the graceful actions of their arms, hands, and fingers appear as the dancing embodiment of love itself. In this way uncountable groups of Gopis are dancing with Krishn in the maharas.

Dancing in the overtaking joy of His intimate love, their tresses, garments and the ornaments,

Have become untidy and are loosely hanging on their body, because all the Gopis are inebriated with the intoxication of the personal love of Krishn.

They are still playing and dancing with Krishn in an exalted state of the Divine and beyond the guiles of maya,

And their jingle-belled anklets and resonant bangles and waistband are producing an exciting melody of combined tinkling sounds.

All-apt in the loving plays, Rasik Shiromani Krishn,

Is doing soul-exciting leelas and raas. 

With His heart-enticing actions and love- inciting words, He is playfully playing

With the Gopis, (who are part of His own personality, in a Divinely expanded mono-dualistic manner), just like a baby child plays with his own image reflected in a large mirror. यथार्भकः स्वप्रतिबिम्बविभ्रमः । भा.).

(The Blissfulness of the Divine leela of maharas is beyond the limits of imagination. Its surprising excellency could be a little understood with the fact that:) Even the birds and the animals of Vrindavan, who happened to glance at the view of maharas, were so enthralled with the lovingness of the scene that they were frozen in excitement, and, like a statue, they kept on looking unblinkingly;

And the static beings, trees and plants etc.

became animated with the Divine animation of the surroundings and felt thrilled (with the liveliness of the maharas that filled the whole of the atmosphere. Their hearts moved, and their subtle senses became alive. Overjoyed with the enchantment of the raas Bliss, that permeated the entire Vrindavan, they began to drip tears of love in the form of sap from their twigs and branches). 

In this way, all the beings of Vrindavan were merrily swinging on the wave of the ocean of Divine love.

Seeing the incredible charm of maharas from the sky, god moon, drowned in the spell of love, lost his track, and the vanity of Kamdev to try his powers on Krishn was blown away (at the very first glimpse of maharas, and he fainted with the excessive joy of watching the blissful appearances of the Gopis).

(Such was the charming effect of the maharas.) The Seva Kunj, where Radha Krishn danced, is great; Vrindavan dham, where maharas happened is great;

The Gopis, who are like the crown jewel among all the rasik Saints, are great;

And the greatest of them is Swamini Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Who revealed this supreme Bliss along with Krishn.

And those Saints are also great who, with the Grace of the Gopis and Radha Krishn, watch this leela of maharas. (So, Glory to Seva Kunj, Glory to Vrindavan, Glory to the Gopis of Braj, Glory to Raseshwari Radha Rani and Krishn, and glory to those Saints who follow Them.)

I adore and sacrifice my whole being on my loving Radhey. I adore and sacrifice myself on my loving Radhey.

I adore and sacrifice my whole being on Bhanudulari Radhey. I adore and worship my Radhey Who freely distributes Braj ras.

I adore and admire the beauty of my Nathwari Radha Rani. I sacrifice myself on the beauty of Radharani Who wears a besar (nose pearl).

I adore and admire Radha Rani Who looks very innocent. I adore and worship my Radhey Who wears a choonari.

I sacrifice my whole being on my innocent and naive Radhey. I adore and worship my Radhey Who is very sweet, delicate and dainty.

I adore and worship Radhey Who has covered Her face with a veil. A Gopi says, O sakhi! I adore and worship my Gracious Radha.
