I always meditate on Krishna, Who wears a crown of peacock feathers, I always sing His name in sankirtana, I always serve His lotus feet (the deity) and repeat His best of mantras, holding the desire for the supremely cherished service of Sri Radha’s lotus feet in my heart. When will that great festival of divine love arise in my heart by His grace?

WORSHIPING SRI KRISHNA FOR SRI RADHA’S SERVICE

Commentary by Srila Ananta das Babaji:

Sripada continues his prayers in sadhakavesa for Sri Radha’s maidservice. It is for the sake of attaining Sri Radha’s service alone that he worships Krishna, not independently:

amara isvari hon vrindavanesvari; tara prananatha boli bhaji giridhari

“My mistress is the queen of Vrindavana (Radha) and I worship Giridhari (only) because He is the Lord of Her life.”
This is the slogan of the radha-snehadhika devotees.

Sripada says: “I worship Krishna, who wears a peacock feather, only to please Radha. I will see in my meditation that I am serving Radhika in a solitary grove in Vrindavana and that She will be angry with Krishna for being a little too late for His appointment with Her. I will then see in my meditation how Krishna makes His peacock feather crown roll on the ground before Her feet, just to pacify Her pique. To meditate on Krishna in this way is the greatest festival of anuraga for me”.

In the same way I will always loudly chant Krishna’s holy name together with Radha’s holy name, holding the most cherished maidservice of Sri Radha in my heart. This chanting will cause a festival of anuraga to appear in the heart.

Srila Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami similarly prayed:

radheti nama nava sundara sidhu mugdham krishneti nama madhuradbhuta gadha dugdham
sarvakshanam surabhi raga himena ramyam kritva tad eva piba me rasane kshudharte

“O tongue suffering from thirst! Please mix the delicious nectar of the name Radha with the wonderfully sweet condensed milk of the name Krishna, add the fragrant ice of pure love and drink this charming drink at every moment!”

Sripada says:
“I will always serve Krishna’s lotus feet (the deity) and I will worship my Isvari with the remnants of His food, His chewed betel leaves and His flower garlands. I will always mutter His best of mantras (the eighteen-syllable gopi jana vallabha mantra), so that my mind (man) will be saved (tra) from bodily consciousness and I will become absorbed in thinking of my manjari svarupa. This very enthusiastic Krishna-bhajana will swiftly make me attain the most cherished treasure of Sri Radhika’s maidservice!

amara paramabhishta, radha pada dasye nishtha,
dasyamrita praptira karana
sikhi pincha mauli syama, satata koribo dhyana,
syama nama koribo kirtana

“For the sake of attaining establishment in the most cherished nectarean service of Radhika’s lotus feet I will always meditate on Syama, who wears a crown of peacock feathers, and I will always chant Syama’s holy name.”

syamera sri padapadma, arcana koribo nitya,
mantra raja japibo sadaya
triloke paramadbhuta, anuraga premotsava,
labhya hobe syamera kripaya

“I will always worship Syama’s lotus feet and murmur His best of mantras. By Syama’s grace I will attain the great festival of spontaneous love that is the most astonishing thing in all the three worlds.”

radhara kinkari pada, sudurlabha se sampad,
lokatita parama ananda,
bhane sri prabodhananda, bhagye mile se ananda,
kripa koile nandakula canda

Sri Prabodhananda sings:
“It is by great fortune and by the grace of Krishna, the moon of king Nanda’s dynasty, that I can attain the limit of transcendental ecstasy, the rarely attained treasure of Radha’s maidservice.”
