Listen to a strange thing. Although it sounds amazing, nevertheless it is true that even men with eyes cannot see; and as such, there is no difference between these people and the people who are blind. Just as an elephant cannot eat with his tusks, they are merely for show, in the same way, those ascetics and yogis who try to seek Bhagwan Kṛishṇa through their own means fail to reach their goal even after crores of kalpas. In the end, all they declare about Him is ‘Alakha alakha’, i.e. He cannot be seen, He cannot be seen. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Just as in the world, people, although having good eyes, cannot see without proper light in the night, similarly one cannot attain God through self-efforts, if one is not blessed with divine grace.” English source: prm-english-part-1, Part 1; PDF pages 80; printed pages 25.

It does not compose new verses or meanings. OCR errors may remain. Decorative Madhuri and Bhakti Challenge illustrations were generated with Codex. They are separate from published source text, original scans and publisher artwork. Library covers are individually credited supplied-PDF cover/source-page images or publisher-representative artwork; the pictured cover does not establish edition equivalence. [Library cover provenance](https://radhey.shreyam1008.com.np/content/books/index.json). Prem Ras Madira is a published work by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, with a print history preceding this website. The supplied companion Gutka identifies Radha Govind Samiti as publisher and its eighth edition as 15 July 2011 (PDF page 3, printed page II). The official biography says Prem Ras Madira was published by 1955; a JKP article gives 1960 for its first Hindi publication. These sources disagree, so this collection does not assert a single verified first-publication year. The 2011 date identifies the supplied companion Gutka edition, not the first publication or every scanned edition. - [Official Prem Ras Madira book and publisher listing](https://www.jkpliterature.org.in/products/prem-ras-madira-regular-size) - [Official author's biography: publication by 1955](https://jagadgurukripalujimaharaj.org.in/life-history/) - [JKP article: first Hindi publication reported as 1960](https://www.jkp.org.in/the-supremacy-of-the-divine-name-radhe/) - [Source fingerprints and edition evidence](https://radhey.shreyam1008.com.np/content/provenance.json) ## Prem Ras Madira English edition The supplied English first edition (October 2009) credits Smt.
