Let us pray!

Let us pray!

My dear beloved goddess of Love, Srimati Radharani!
My heart and soul! My Swamini! My all in all!
You are the hladini shakti, the pleasure potency
and the embodiment of all love.
Your love for Krishna inundates the world.
In fact, your love is present everywhere,
for nothing could exist without your love.
The love that is generated between you and Krishna,
that madhura prema of intense and absolute self-giving
that encompasses the entire creation,
is yet understood or even perceived by so few,
and those multitudes of unfortunate souls
lose themselves in petty religious arguments and futile hatreds,
without recognizing your glories or the glories of prema.
We pray to you, Sri Radhe, that by your merciful glance
you soften their hearts and give them just a fleeting glimpse
of that prema and allow even them
to swim in that ocean of joy
with the whales and sharks who are your glorious rasika devotees.

Jai Jai Sri Radhe ! Jai Jai Sri Radhe !
Jai Jai Sri Radhe Shyam!
