The two verses below are cited in praise yet both could be seen in dasya-rasa or sakhya rasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raghunath Das Goswami has offered such pure madhurya prayers for the raganuga devotees, we must recite and memorise such rasik verses for our worship of Govardhan Hill. All are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These 5 verses are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n O Govardhana! The youthful couple Radha-Krishna play passionate loving pastimes in your every cave and I became very eager to witness them. Please allow me to live close to you!.” (Sri Govardhana-Vasa-Prarthana-Dasakam, verse 2<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n O Govardhana! Revealing the beautiful and fragrant Dana-Ghati, the place witnessing the Dana-Keli of the young Divine Couple Radha and Krishna, who are an ocean of rasa, you increase the ecstasy of the rasika devotees. Please allow me to live close to you! (Sri Govardhana-Vasa-Prarthana-Dasakam, verse 4<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vilap Kusumanjali<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n O Rati Manjari! You are the most fortunate cowherdgirl in the abode of the king of Vraja! When Your mistress (Sri Radhika) forgets Her beloved sash of bells due to absorption in Her loveplay, She asks You to fetch it from the cave where She left it! (Verse 3<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Madhusudana is the crest-jewel of clever pranksters! One day He obstructs Your path on the pretext of collecting tax from You as You are walking near Govardhana Hill! Will I then see Your proud eyes crowned with frowned eyebrows? (Verse 73<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n O Sadaye (merciful girl)! When will You shyly take me far away from Your girlfriends to a cave of Govardhana Hill to teach me beautiful songs in different tunes there? (Verse<\/strong> 89<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my first humble post on WordPress, I am but a servant of my gurudev and I hope this pleases him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Radhanath Das<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Translation source – Books of Sri Ananta Das Babaji<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Both Srimad Bhagvatam and Sri Rupa Goswami glorify Mount Govardhan in a most exalted manner as the greatest devotee.
