SRI SRI RADHA GOVINDA CHANDRA(Atmarama dasa based on Rhadarani’s qualities by Srila Rupa Goswami)

Krishna danza en la Salagran Sila de tu pupila.El aura dorada de tu alma conquista siempre a Krishna . La bella sonrisa de Sus labios es amada por los sabios.

Sus ojos, pétalos de loto por tu amor se ponen rojos.

Krishna posee una belleza atractiva y radiante,las nubes a punto de llover semejan Su semblante.

El dulce sonido de Su flauta embriaga hasta las plantas,las plumas de un pavo real decoran Su turbante.
