Today's Beautiful Gem: `Love of Radha and Krishna' by Shri Vallabhaachaarya.

         We are all familiar with Vallabhaachaaryaa's "sweet" madhuraashhTakam
(adharam madhuram... ). My brother Shri Muralidhar brought to my notice
his other gem on Krishna which is reproduced below:

"Radha is filled with Krishna's love,
Krishna is filled with Radha's love;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.


"Radha is the wealth of Krishna,
Krishna is the wealth of Radha;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.


"Radha is filled with Krishna's life,
Krishna is filled with Radha's life;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.


"Radha is filled with Krishna's essence,
Krishna is filled with Radha's essence;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.

"Radha's abode is Krishna's home,
Krishna's abode is Radha's home;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.


"Radha resides in the mind of Krishna,
Krishna resides in the mind of Radha;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.


"Radha is clad in garments of blue,
Krishna is clad in garments of yellow;
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge.


"Radha is the Queen of Brindavana,
Krishna is the King of Brindavana;"
In life it is the only wealth,
Radha and Krishna-- they are my refuge."
