Gaura Kisora Dasa Babaji has written this song: “Kothaya Go Premamayi Radhe Radhe”. GauraKisora dasa babaji has glorified Raghunatha dasa who is in so much ecstasy that he constantly wants to take the names of Jai Sri Radhe. He is fully deprived of thirst, hunger and sleep yet his tongue wants to glorify Krishna and Radhe. It is due to the mercy of Sri Radhe one can attain Krishna prema.
(1)
kothaya go premamayi radhe radhe
radhe radhe go, jaya radhe radhe
 
(2)
dekha diye prana rakha, radhe radhe
tomara kańgala tomaya dake, radhe radhe
 
(3)
radhe vrndavana-vilasini, radhe radhe
radhe kanu-mana-mohini, radhe radhe
 
(4)
radhe asta-sakhira siromani, radhe radhe
radhe vrsabhanu-nandini, radhe radhe
(gosai) niyama kare sadai dake, radhe radhe
 
(5)
(gosai) eka-bara dake kesi-ghate,
abara dake vaḿsi-vate, radhe radhe
(gosai) eka-bara dake nidhu-vane,
abara dake kusja-vane, radhe radhe
 
(6)
(gosai) eka-bara dake radha-kunde,
abara dake syama-kunde, radhe radhe
(gosai) eka-bara dake kusuma-vane,
abara dake govardhane, radhe radhe
 
(7)
(gosai) eka-bara dake tala-vane,

1) Where is She who is full of prema? All glories to Sri Radha.
 
2) O Radha, please give me Your darsana and save my life. Your wretched beggar calls out to You, "Radhe! Radhe!"
 
3) O Radha, You enjoy pleasure pastimes in the forest of Vrndavana wherein You enchant the mind of Krsna.
 
4) O Radhe, You are the crest-jewel among Your eight principal sakhis. O Radha, daughter of Vrsabhanu Baba. Raghunatha dasa Gosvami was alway calling out, "Radhe!Radhe!"
 
5) Sometimes at Kesi-ghata, sometimes at Vamsi-vata. Sometimes in Nidhuvana, sometimes in Seva-kunja.
 
6) Sometimes at Radha-kunda, sometimes at Syama-kunda, sometimes at Kusuma-sarovara, sometimes at Giriraja-Govardhana.
 
7) Sometimes at Talavana, sometimes at Tamalvana. Raghunatha dasa wears simple cloth which appears to be dirty because he is always rolling on the earth crying out, "Radhe! Radhe!"
 
8) Calling out "Radhe! Radhe," his eyes are bursting with a flood of tears. He wanders throughout the lanes of Vrndavana crying out, "Radhe! Radhe!"
 
9) He knows nothing but Radha-Govinda throughout the day and night (56 dandas: 1 danda=24 minutes). Radhe! Radhe!
 
10) He takes rest for only 4 dandas (1 hr. 36 min.). At that time in his dreams he receives darsana of Radha-Govinda. Radhe! Radhe!

Kothay go Premamayi

Presentation by Devamrita Swami at the Bhakti Lounge Soul Feast 7th July 2019. We can be very calculating about who is our friend and who is our enemy. Here you'll learn more about your mind, how when tamed it can be your best friend, but when untamed is like an enemy within.

Govinda Prabhu 7.2.20 Kirtan In Aindra Prabhus Room On Nityananda Trayodasi

The example is given here by Srila Prabhupada of a tree. In the blazing sun a tree gives us shelter. We do not even have to ask the tree. All we have to do is be near the tree. Its not that you go under the tree and say, “Oh, please tree give me shade”. You do not have to ask. You get it, without asking. That’s the nature of a tree. But you have to take the shelter of the tree. The problem is, when it is cloudy day, we do not even look at the tree, right? we just walk by another tree and so many trees. But when the sun is blazing, then we look at the tree. We understand its value. So similarly, unfortunately, when there is not crisis in our lives, we chant yes, the holy name and so many names. “I am chanting so many names”. We come before the deities yes, yes so many deities and saying such a nice deity. But when there is crisis, Hare Krishna. We chant. When there is crisis and we come before the deities we are no longer just nice to again see Krishna. Krishna save me.

An Important Lesson For Relationships

Following in the footsteps does not mean imitating, if we pretend to be gopas or gopis, it will never go beyond our mental imagination. But the spirit of selfless service, the spirit of truly humbly, tasting the sweetness of Krishna's name, the spirit of living without ego or selfishness and the spirit of tasting the sweetness of Krishna's pastimes, naturally, as our true genuine love awakens, then by the mercy of Guru and vaihnava, by Srila Prabhupada's divine grace, then we will be connected to the residents of Vrindavan. Because Srila Prabhupada and our achryas are eternal residents of Vrindavan, we are all just trying to connect through following their instructions, through receiving their grace and through pleasing them. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna in the spirit of the love of Shri Radha, feeling that love and distributing that love and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu made the most profound difficult thing so simple. We can enter into the realm of Vrindavan by developing this true mood of servant of the servant, by hearing these wonderful past times and by cultivating a genuine taste for chanting the holy name.
