SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SPECIAL POETRY

Vrindavanotsav (Vrindavan Festival)

(By Srila Prabodhananda Saraswati)

vasatu mano mama madana-gopale
nava-rati-keli-vilasa-paravadhi-radha-surata-rasale [ref]

May my mind be always fixed on Madan-Gopal. He feels deeper and deeper loving attachment as He plays and relishes unrestrained amorous pastimes with Sri Radha.

mada-sikhi-pinchha-mukuta-parilanchhita-kunchita-kacha-nikurambe
mukharita-venu-hatatrapa-dhavita-nava-vraja-yuvati-kadambe [1]

His head is adorned with an enchanting peacock-feather crown and beautiful curly hair. When He plays His irresistible flute, young Vraja gopis shamelessly run to meet with Him in the forest.

kalita-kalinda-suta-pulinojjvala-kalpa-mahiruha-mule
kinkini-kalarava-ranjita-kati-tata-komala-pita-dukule [2]

He sits beneath an effulgent banyan tree on the sandy banks of the Kalindi, her waters murmuring softly. He wears gently tinkling ankle-bells and a yellow garment around His lotus waist.

murali-manohara-madhurataradhara-ghanaruchi-chaura-kisore
sri-vrsabhanu-kumari-mohana-ruchi-mukha-chandra-chakore [3]

This enchanting Flute Player is extremely sweet. Radiant like a cloud, He is a youthful thief. His beautiful face captivates the young daughter of Sri Vrisabhanu, who relishes it like the chakora bird subsisting on drinking moonbeams.

gunja-hara-makara-mani-kundala-kankana-nupura-sobhe
mrdu-madhura-smita-charu-vilochana rasika-vadhu-krta-lobhe [4]

He looks very beautiful wearing a necklace of gunja seeds, jewelled shark-shaped earrings and ankle-bells. As He has a sweet gentle smile and lovely eyes, He is coveted by all young wives, who are expert at relishing transcendental mellows.

matta-madhu-vrata-gunjita-ranjita-gala-dolita-vana-male
gandhodvarttita-suvalita-sundara-pulakita-bahu-visale [5]

Intoxicated bumblebees joyfully hum around the flower garland swinging on His neck. His beautiful long arms, their hairs standing on end, are smeared with sandalwood.

ujjvala-ratna-tilaka-lalitalaka-sakanaka-mauktika-nase
sarada-koti-sudha-kiranojjvala-sri-mukha-kamala-vilase [6]

He has a beautiful golden pearl in His nose, exquisite curly locks and an effulgent jewelled tilak mark on His forehead. His holy lotus face is more delightful than the rays of effulgence coming from the nectar of millions of white lotuses.

griva-kati-pada-bhangi-manohara-ati-sukumara-sarire
vrndavana-nava-kunja-grhantara-rati-rana-ranga-sudhire [7]

As He stands bending His neck, waist and knees, His very youthful figure looks enchanting. He is bent on enjoying in all possible ways within the alcoves of the fresh groves in Vrindavan.

parimala-sara-sakesara-chandana-charchchita-rasa-lasad-ange
paramananda-rasaika-ghanakrti-pravahata-nandata-range [8]

His hair is perfumed with scented extracts, and His ravishing glowing figure is adorned with sandalwood. As He sports and performs His happy pastimes, He embodies a condensed form of transcendental ecstasy and supreme joy.

pada-nakha-chandra-mani-chchhavi-lajjita-manasija-koti-samaje
adbhuta-keli-vilasa-visarada-vrajapura-nava-yuva-raje [9]

At the assembly of millions of moons, His toenails put to shame the effulgent splendour of all jewels and moon. He is the famed crown prince of Vrajapur, proficient at all kinds of miraculous plays and pastimes.

rasika-sarasvati-varnita-madhava-rupa-sudha-rasa-sare
ramayata sadhu-budha nija-hrdayam bhramata muda kim asare [10]

Lord Madhav’s beauty that has been described by Rasika Saraswati is the very essence of all transcendental ecstasy. Intelligent personalities become so content with it that all so-called pleasures of meditational practices and soul-searching become meaningless to them.
