shrī rādhe rānī, prema tatva kī sāra

English meaning

Shrī Rādhe Rānī is the essence of love, the personified form of mahābhāva. Among innumerable powers of God, the power of bliss is the main. The essence of this power is known as Hlādinī Shakti or exhilarating energy. The essence of even this Hlādinī Shakti is called love. And again the essence of even this love is mahābhāva, which is known as Rādhā. Although Kishorī Jī (i.e. Shrī Rādhā) is absolutely unknowable even by the Vedas and scriptures, yet She is easily accessible to humble souls. What might do Brahmā, Vishṇu and Shaṅkara possess to access Shrī Rādhā, when even the veritable Supreme God, Bhagwan Kṛishṇa could not fathom her depth. Shrī Kishorī Jī is so easy for them that whenever any humble soul calls out for Her saying, ‘Rādhe!’ with utter helplessness and note of desperation, She grows impatient and starts shedding tears. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Why should I be afraid of anything when so simple, tender, merciful and loving Vṛishabhānudulāra (the darling daughter of King Vṛishabhānu i.e. Shrī Rādhā) is our protectress (caretaker)?”
