Natavara lal Giridhara Gopal Jai Jai Nanda Yashoda ke bal

Radha rasika vara Rasa Vihar

Glory to the dancing Lord, He who raised Mount Govardhan. Glory to the child of Nanda and Yashoda. He is the essence, the essence beyond all. He is the essence, the essence of all. Lover of Radha, the Lord who resides in the Rasa dance.

 

Sharadha powrnima nirmala Yamuna

Adbhuta rasa mahotsava anubhava

Under the full moon in the month of Sharad (Autumn), on the banks of the pure Yamuna, the wondrous, miraculous Rasa festival experience unfolds.

 

Gowra Radha aur Ganashyam

Yugala shobha apaara lalaal

Radiant Radha and dark hued Krishna - the beauty of the divine couple is beyond comprehension.

 

Spatika Spatika maya Gopimandala dhaam

Gopi Gopi madhya maragatha Shyaam

The Gopikas are united with Krishna in a beautiful mandala like a jewel necklace. They are as numerous glittering white gemstones strung together with myriad dark hued Krishnas in between each Gopika - a garland of sparkling spatika gems and glowing emeralds!   

 

Dhanya dhanya vraja naari dhanyaho

Dhanya Brindavana kunja dhanyaho

Kaga Mriga Tharu sab dhanya dhanya ho

Vraja ruja Yamuna pulina dhanyaho

Blessed, so blessed are the gopikas of Vraja

Blessed, so blessed is the forest of Brindavan

Blessed, so blessed are the birds, the animals, the trees and plants of Brindavan

Blessed is the very dust of Vraja, purified by the pure Yamuna
