(Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan, Vancouver, Canada)
"The beautiful place known as Vrindavana is a trancendental abode in the spiritual world and is made entirely of divine touchstones. There are many beautiful temples there made out of jewels, and the swans known as raja-hamsa play in the waters of the River Yamuna, which flow through that transcendental land. In the water of that divine river there is a beautiful golden lotus of a hundred petals.
"In the midst of that lotus there is a golden platform surrounded by eight petals. Situated upon those eight petals are the eight principal sakhis, headed by Lalita and Visakha. On that golden platform the divine couple sit on a jeweled throne. In the company of Lord Syama sits the beautiful Radhika.
"The beauty and sweetness of Sri Radha and Govinda's forms during Their talks, which are filled with smile and laughter, is emanating showers of nectar. Narottama das says, 'May these eternal pastimes, filled with transcendental joy, be ever manifest in my heart.'"
(From Prarthana by Srila Narottama das Thakura)
