EDITORIAL September 5, 2000 VNN6209 Comment on this story Sri Radhastami Sri Radhika Carana Renu BY IMLI TALA EDITORIAL, Sep 5 (VNN) — Tuesday, 5 th October 2000: Sri Radhastami Sri Radhika Carana Renu Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah! SRIMATI RADHARANI KI JAY!!! Tuesday, 5 th October 2000: Sri Radhastami - Appearance of Srimati Radharani. (fasting till noon) ***** Radhika Carana-Renu ***** 'The Dust of the Lotus Feet of Sri Radhika' (Sri Prema-bhakti-candrika 9) by Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura ***** radhika carana-renu, bhusana kariya tanu, anayase pabe giridhari radhika-caranasraya ye kare se mahasaya, tan 're mui yaon balihari One who adorns his body with the dust of the lotus feet of Srimati Radhika will easily get Lord Giridari. By taking the lotus feet of Srimati Radhika as his asraya or sole refuge, he becomes an exalted devotee - to him I say, "Excellent! Bravo!" ***** Jaya jaya 'radha' nama, vrndavana yan'ra dhama, krsna-sukha-vilasera nidhi hena radha-guna-gana, na sunila mora kana, vanchita karila more vidhi All glories to Sri Radha whose divine abode is Vrndavana! She is the wealth of Krsna's blissful pastimes. If my ears never hear such glories as Radha's, then I have been cheated by the hands of fate. ***** tan'ra bhakta-sange sada, rasa-lila prema-katha, yena kare se paya ghanasyama ihate vimukha yei, ta'ra kabhu siddhi nai, nahi yena suni ta'ra nama One who is always in the association of devotees who hear about and discuss prema-katha, topics on divine love, such as the rasa-lila pastimes in Vrndavana, he will get the lotus feet of that Krsna whose bodily hue is like a dark-blue monsoon cloud. He who is adverse to hearing and discussing these topics, will never achieve the goal of life, nor do I ever want to hear his name. ***** krsna-nama-gane bhai, radhika-carana pai, radha-nama-gane krsna-candra samksepe kahinu katha, ghucao manera vyatha, duhkhamaya anya katha-dvandva O brothers! By chanting Krsna's names, one can get Radhika's lotus feet; and by chanting Radha's names one can get the moonlike Lord Krsna. In a few brief words I have told what gives relief to this aching heart - other talks are simply full of misery with conflicting words and thoughts.
