Yugal Madhuri · Pad 8
bali jāuṁ, yugala sarakāra kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself on the divine couple Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa. On one hand, I offer myself on the sweet music of Bhagwan Kṛishṇa’s flute, being played on the bank of the river Yamunā; and on the other, I sacrifice myself again and again on Bhānunandinī Rādhā, who, embellished with all the sixteen ornamental decorations of a lady, looks like the personified form of Adornment, and walks in the style of an intoxicated elephant. On the bank of the river Yamunā, where the sweet, gentle and perfumed breeze is blowing, I sacrifice myself on that meeting of Rādhā-Kṛishṇa, when, staring in each-other’s eyes, They forget Themselves. Oh men of wisdom! Look at the non-dualistic sweetness of love in the dualism of Rādhā-Kṛishṇa. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “I, too, want to be blessed with a drop of that infinite ocean of love.”
