Radha Krishna - Gita Govinda

The love of Radha and Krishna is said to be immortal.  Jayadeva captured this eternal love beautifully in his mellifluous composition, ‘Gita Govinda’.

कृष्णजी राधारानी से कहते हैं –   त्वमसि मम भूषणं त्वमसि मम जीवनं,  त्वमसि मम भवजलधिरत्नम्। भवतु भवतीह मयि सततमनुरोधिनी, तत्र मम हृदयमतियत्नम् || ( गीतगोविन्दम्, १०.४)

तुम ही मेरी भूषण स्वरूप हो| तुम ही मेरा जीवन हो | तुम ही मेरे संसार रूपी समुद्र का रत्न हो|  तुम सदैव मेरे प्रति अपना प्रेम एवं सान्निध्य बनाये रखो, यही मेरा ऐकांतिक प्रयास है |

Krishna tells Radha – You are my ornament. You are my life. You are the jewel in the ocean of my existence. Always remain favourably disposed to me – this is the only aim of my endeavours.
