Hare Kṛṣṇa,
CC Ādi 1.6
śrī-rādhāyāḥ praṇaya-mahimā kīdṛśo vānayaivā-
svādyo yenādbhuta-madhurimā kīdṛśo vā madīyaḥ
saukhyaṁ cāsyā mad-anubhavataḥ kīdṛśaṁ veti lobhāt
tad-bhāvāḍhyaḥ samajani śacī-garbha-sindhau harīnduḥ
Desiring to understand the glory of Rādhārāṇī’s love, the wonderful qualities in Him that She alone relishes through Her love, and the happiness She feels when She realizes the sweetness of His love, the Supreme Lord Hari, richly endowed with Her emotions, appeared from the womb of Śrīmatī Śacī-devī, as the moon appeared from the ocean.
So far we have studied that Śrī Kṛṣṇa, desiring to taste the glories and the happiness of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s love, appeared as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. While this understanding is certainly correct, a deeper purpose behind this pastime is that Kṛṣṇa ultimately wished to reveal and glorify the supreme position of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.
He thought to Himself, “Everyone says that I am complete bliss, full of all rasas. All the world derives pleasure from Me. Is there anyone who can give Me pleasure? One who has a hundred times more qualities than Me could give pleasure to My mind. One more qualified than Me is impossible to find in the world. But in Rādhā alone I feel the presence of one who can give Me pleasure. Although My beauty defeats the beauty of ten million Cupids, although it is unequaled and unsurpassed, and although it gives pleasure to the three worlds, seeing Rādhārāṇī gives pleasure to My eyes. The vibration of My transcendental flute attracts the three worlds, but My ears are enchanted by the sweet words of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī… The happiness I feel when meeting Rādhārāṇī is a hundred times greater than the happiness I get from meeting others.” (CC Adi 4.238-258)
Then Sri Kṛṣṇa glorifies Sri Rādhā, “My dear auspicious Rādhārāṇī, Your body is the source of all beauty. Your red lips are softer than the sense of immortal sweetness, Your face bears the aroma of a lotus flower, Your sweet words defeat the vibrations of the cuckoo, and Your limbs are cooler than the pulp of sandalwood. All My transcendental senses are overwhelmed in ecstatic pleasure by tasting You, who are completely decorated by beautiful qualities.” (Lalita-mādhava (9.33))
“Her eyes are enchanted by the beauty of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the enemy of Kaṁsa. Her body thrills in pleasure at His touch. Her ears are always attracted to His sweet voice, Her nostrils are enchanted by His fragrance, and Her tongue hankers for the nectar of His soft lips. She hangs down her lotuslike face, exercising self-control only by pretense, but She cannot help showing the external signs of Her spontaneous love for Lord Kṛṣṇa.” (CC Adi 4.260)
Considering all these, Kṛṣṇa decided that unless He accepts the luster of the ecstatic love of Śrī Rādhikā, these three desires cannot be fulfilled. Therefore, assuming Rādhārāṇī’s sentiments and bodily complexion, He decided to descend to fulfill these three desires.”
“Lord Kṛṣṇa desired to taste the limitless nectarean mellows of the love possessed by one of His multitude of loving damsels [Śrī Rādhā], and so He has assumed the form of Lord Caitanya. He has tasted that love while hiding His own dark complexion with Her effulgent yellow color. May that Lord Caitanya confer upon us His grace.” (CC Adi 4.275)
How fortunate we are to chant the mahā-mantra, which embodies the divine transcendental love of the Divine Couple. The ultimate essence of everything is love—pure divine love that originates in the spiritual realm.
Narottama dasa Thakura says, golokera prema-dhana, hari-nama-sankirtana. This Krsna consciousness movement, sankirtana movement, is nothing material. It is directly imported from the spiritual kingdom known as Goloka Vrndavana. So golokera prema-dhana. (Bhajan and Purport to Hari Hari Biphale by Srila Prabhupada)
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
