Quotes

  • Radha was an ordinary village belle (gopi), but such was the passion and intensity of her love and devotion to the Lord that she has come to occupy a position of unrivaled to adoration in the Hindu pantheon.
  • When Radha and Krishna descended on the Earth, Radha became the wife of another gopa (who himself was the part of Krishna) but always remained the most beloved of Krishna’s consorts and his constant companion. In the bhakti (devotional) movement of Vaishnavism, the female, Radha, symbolizes the human soul and the male, Krishna, the divine.
  • The sky is clouded; and the wood resemblesThe sky, thick arched with a black tamala boughs;Oh Radha, Radha! Take this soul that tremblesIn life's deep midnight, to thy Golden house.So Nanda spoke -- and led by Radha’s spirit,The feet of Krishna found the road aright;Wherefore, in bliss which all high hearts inherit,Together taste they love's divine delight.
  • Beautiful Radha, Jasmine bosomed Radha,All in the Spring-time waited by the woodFor Krishna fair, Krishna the all-forgetful, -Krishna with earthly love's false fire consuming –And some one of her maidens sang this song.
  • Then she, the maid of Radha, speaks again;And pointing far away between the leaves Guided her lovely Mistress where to look,And note how Krishna wantoned in the wood Now with this one, now that; his heart, her prize;Panting with foolish passions, and his eyesBeaming with too much love of those fair girls --Fair, but not so as Radha; and she sang
  • But may he guide us all to glory highwho laughed when the Radha glided, hidden, by,An all among those damsels free and boldTouch Krishna with a soft mouth, kind and cold;And like the others leaning upon his breast,Unlike the others, left their Love’s unrest;And like the others, joining in his song,Or like the others, made him silent long.
