It is said of Krishna’s form that purusha yoshita kiba sthavara jangama; sarva cittakarshaka sakshan manmatha madana (C.C.) “Men and women, mobile and immobile, He attracts everyone’s hearts, being the enchanter of even Cupid!”

Enchanted by His form the Vraja-gopikas are saying: akshanvatam phalam idam na param vidamah (Bhag. 10.21.7) “We do not know of any greater fruit for those who have eyes than the sight of Krishna!”

They also say: trailokya saubhagam idam ca nirikshya rupam yad go-dvija druma mrigah pulakany avibhran (Bhag. 10.29.40) “O dearly beloved one! Seeing Your form, which is most beautiful within the three worlds, even the deer, birds and trees are studded with goosepimples of ecstasy!”

Even Krishna Himself is astonished when He sees His own beauty: vismapanam svasya ca (Bhagavata 3.2.12). rupa dekhi apanara krishnera hoilo camatkara (C.C.). But even this endlessly beautiful and sweet Krishna is highly astonished and enchanted by Sri Radhika’s sweet form, so it is not so astonishing that the maidservants, who have given their lives to Her, are so upset when they are deprived of the relish of Her sweet form.

Such an anxious desire to see the sweet form of Radharani should also awaken to some extent within the hearts of the manjari-bhava sadhakas. This eagerness will gradually reveal higher and higher ecstasies of love within the hearts of the sadhakas. All sadhakas who anxiously do bhajan with the passionate desire within their hearts to experience the sweet form of their beloved deity will swiftly be blessed with Her compassion.
