# Radharani *Supreme Personalities* **See also:** [[artwork/personalities/krsna|Krishna]] | [[artwork/personalities/gopis|The Gopis]] **134 images** --- <h3>Radha and Krsna and the Gopis</h3> ![[0022_TLC-10.jpg]] <h3>The Spiritual Worlds</h3> ![[0023_SB-1-1-front.jpg]] *The original spiritual planet, which resembles the whorl of a huge lotus flower, is called Goloka Vṛndāvana. It is the abode of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead. This original planet of Goloka throws off a spiritual effulgence called the brahmajyoti, within which are unlimited numbers of spiritual planets, or Vaikuṇṭhalokas. The conception of spiritual bliss (brahmānanda) is fully present in those planets. Each of them is eternal, indestructible, and free from all kinds of inebrieties experienced in the material world. Each of them is self-illuminating and more powerfully dazzling than (if we can imagine) the total sunshine of millions of mundane suns. The inhabitants of those planets have full knowledge of everything; they are all godly and free from all sorts of material hankerings. They have nothing to do there except to render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Nārāyaṇa, who is the predominating Deity in every Vaikuṇṭha planet. The Lord and His eternal servitors in the transcendental kingdom all have eternal forms, which are auspicious, infallible, spiritual, and eternally youthful. In other words, they do not experience birth, death, old age, or disease. Thus that eternal land is full of transcendental enjoyment, beauty, and bliss.* <h3>Radha and Krsna and Their Gopis</h3> ![[0026_SB-9_1_6.jpg]] *In Vṛndāvana, although Lord Kṛṣṇa is full in Himself, He wants the cooperation of His devotees, such as the gopīs, to increase His transcendental bliss. These devotees are most dear to Him.* <h3>The Gopis in the Madness of Separation</h3> ![[0027_TLC-24.jpg]] *“Lord Caitanya mistook a garden for Vṛndāvana and very quickly entered it. Absorbed in ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa, He wandered through the garden in the mood of the gopīs. After Kṛṣṇa disappeared with Rādhārāṇī during the rāsa dance, the gopīs wandered in the forest looking for Him. The gopīs said, ‘O cūta tree, priyāla tree, panasa, āsana and kovidāra! O jambū tree, O arka tree, O bel, bakula and mango! O kadamba tree, O nīpa tree and all other trees living on the bank of the Yamunā for the welfare of others, please let us know where Kṛṣṇa has gone. We have lost our minds and are almost dead. O tulasī! O mālatī! O yūthī, mādhavī and mallikā! Kṛṣṇa is very dear to you. Therefore He must have come near you. You are all just like dear friends to us. Kindly tell us which way Kṛṣṇa has gone and save our lives!’”* <h3>The Spiritual World</h3> ![[0028_SB-1-3-f.c.jpg]] *The Lord's abode and the Vaikuṇṭha planets in the spiritual sky are far beyond these mundane universes.* <h3>Radha-Krsna</h3> ![[0028_TLC-25.jpg]] <h3>Radha-Govinda in Vrndavana</h3> ![[0028_TLC-3.jpg]] *Among the many transcendental lovers of Kṛṣṇa, the gopīs [cowherd girls of Vṛndāvana are the best, and among the gopīs Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the best.* <h3>The Lord's Incarnations</h3> ![[0030_SB-1_1-14.jpg]] *The incarnations of Godhead are innumerable, like the waves in the ocean.* <h3>The Divine Couple</h3> ![[0032_KB-1-cover.jpg]] *The Divine Couple* <h3>Radha-Krsna</h3> ![[0039_Misc-Kim-M.jpg]] <h3>Radha-Krsna and Four Gopis</h3> ![[0039_Misc-Kim-M-2.jpg]] <h3>The Gopis Imitate Krsna's Pastimes</h3> ![[0044_SB-1-2-9.jpg]] *The gopīs imitated the characteristic movements of the Lord.* <h3>Radha, Krsna, and the Gopis on a Boat</h3> ![[0045_SB-1-1-15.jpg]] *The Lord's pastimes with the gopīs are displays of His transcendental existence, bliss, and knowledge.* <h3>Krsna Plays His Flute for the Gopis</h3> ![[0045_SB-1-2-8.jpg]] *Kṛṣṇa's deep loving attitude attracted the damsels of Vrajadhāma.* <h3>Radha-Krsna and the Principal Gopis</h3> ![[0048_SB-10-6-2.jpg]] *In the Sanskrit classic Brahma-saṁhitā, Lord Brahmā, the first created being in the universe, states, “I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who resides in His own realm, Goloka, with Rādhā, who resembles His own spiritual figure and who embodies the ecstatic potency hlādinī. Their companions are Her confidantes, who embody extensions of Her bodily form and who are imbued and permeated with ever-blissful spiritual rasa.” The gopīs assist Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in Their transcendental pastimes, expertly using their talents to increase the Divine Couple’s spiritual pleasure.* <h3>The Gopis Comfort Radha</h3> ![[0049_SB-UP!!.jpg]] <h3>Radha and Krsna on the Swing</h3> ![[0050_SB-10-6-5.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: Vṛndāvana is a beautiful place. The Yamunā River blooms with lotuses, and the gentle breeze raises small ripples in the water. Bumblebees hum in the flowers, and peacocks dance as Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa glide on a flower-wrapped swing hanging from a tree, Their faces filled with the happiness of divine love.* <h3>The Reunion</h3> ![[0051_IS-4.jpg]] *When the gopīs saw that their dearmost Kṛṣṇa had returned to them, they became ecstatic, and out of their affection for Him their eyes bloomed wide. It was as if the air of life had reentered their bodies.* <h3>Radha-Krsna and the Gopis</h3> ![[0051_SB-6-3-3.jpg]] <h3>Radha Offers Flowers to Krsna</h3> ![[0052_SB-10-6-3.jpg]] *When Kṛṣṇa disappeared from the rāsa dance, taking Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī with Him, the other gopīs said, “Certainly that particular gopī has perfectly worshiped the all-powerful Personality of Godhead, Govinda, since He was so pleased with Her that He abandoned the rest of us and brought Her to a secluded place.”* <h3>The Rasa Dance</h3> ![[0053_SB-10-6-11.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: Kṛṣṇa expanded Himself into many identical forms to enjoy His rāsa dance with the gopīs. In the company of those supremely beautiful cowherd girls, who worshiped Him with pure devotion, Lord Kṛṣṇa appeared like a greenish sapphire locket in the midst of a golden necklace decorated with valuable stones.* <h3>Krsna and the Gopis Bathe in the Yamuna</h3> ![[0053_SB-10-6-12.jpg]] *After the rāsa dance, Kṛṣṇa entered the water of the Yamunā River with the gopīs in order to dispel their fatigue, and soon the Lord found Himself being splashed on all sides by His laughing consorts.* <h3>Sankhacuda Slain</h3> ![[0053_SB-10-6-14.jpg]] *Lord Kṛṣṇa chased after Śaṅkhacūḍa, swiftly approached him, and with a blow of His fist removed the demon's head.* <h3>The Gopis Think of Krsna in Separation</h3> ![[0056_SB-10-6-15.jpg]] <h3>Rukmini-Dvarakadhisa</h3> ![[0060_SB-3-4-2--NE.jpg]] <h3>Goloka Vrndavana</h3> ![[0061_SB-1-2-f.c.-(NE).jpg]] <h3>Rukmini-Dvarakadhisa in Los Angeles</h3> ![[0061_SB-2-1-8.jpg]] *Our material senses cannot perceive the transcendental, all-spiritual body of the Supreme Lord. Nevertheless, out of His causeless mercy, the Lord, by expanding His spiritual potencies, can manifest Himself as the Deity, or arcā-vigraha, thus allowing us to see Him. Although seemingly made of material elements like stone, wood, or earth, the Deity, the arcā incarnation, is directly Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself. The omnipotent Supreme Personality of Godhead can appear anywhere without being contaminated by matter.* <h3>The Gopis Block the Path of Akrura's Chariot</h3> ![[0062_SB-10-7-5.jpg]] <h3>Devotee Practicing Arcana</h3> ![[0070_BG--77.jpg]] *If with love and devotion one offers the Supreme Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, a leaf, flower, fruit, or water, He will accept it.* <h3>Puspanjali</h3> ![[0075_BG-49.jpg]] <h3>The Imperishable Banyan Tree of the Material World</h3> ![[0077_BG-35.jpg]] *15.1–3: “It is said that there is an imperishable banyan tree that has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns.... The branches of this tree extend downward and upward, nourished by the three modes of material nature. The twigs are the objects of the senses. This tree also has roots going down, and these are bound to the fruitive actions of human society. The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. No one can understand where it ends, where it begins, or where its foundation is.”* <h3>From Goloka to the Material Creation</h3> ![[0077_BG-36.jpg]] *15.6: The spiritual and material worlds. The lotus represents the original spiritual planet, Goloka Vṛndāvana, the abode of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. The spiritual effulgence surrounding this planet is called the /brahmajyoti/ and is the ultimate goal of impersonalists. Within the unlimited /brahmajyoti/ are innumerable spiritual planets, each a home for a plenary expansion of Lord Kṛṣṇa and inhabited by ever-liberated living beings. Sometimes a spiritual cloud overtakes a corner of the spiritual sky. That covered portion is called the /mahat-tattva,/ or material sky. There, the Lord as Mahā-Viṣṇu lies in the Causal Ocean, the water within the /mahat-tattva./ While He sleeps, innumerable universes emanate from His breathing and float in the Causal Ocean. Mahā-Viṣṇu enters each universe as Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and lies in the Garbha Ocean on the serpentine Śeṣa incarnation. From Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu’s navel a lotus stem sprouts, and on the lotus, Brahmā is born. Brahmā creates bodies for all the souls in the material world according to their karma and desires.* <h3>Moving Up or Down the Staircase of Consciousness</h3> ![[0081_BG--38.jpg]] *16.5, 21: Persons bewildered by false ego, their own apparent strength, pride, lust, and anger. Māyādevī, goddess of illusion, stands at the bottom of the stairs enticing people toward her. Others move upward toward the light of pure spiritual consciousness and devotional service to Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.* <h3>Krsna Steals the Garments of the Unmarried Gopis</h3> ![[0086_SB-10-5-2.jpg]] *EN KB 2018 one-vol: One after another the gopīs came out of the water, shivering and trying to cover their nakedness with their hands. Their simple presentation was so pure that Lord Kṛṣṇa immediately became pleased with them. All the unmarried gopīs had prayed to goddess Kātyāyanī to have Kṛṣṇa as their husband, and in this way they were satisfied. Nothing can compare with the Kṛṣṇa consciousness of the gopīs.* <h3>0087/A devotee</h3> ![[0087_A-devotee.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Shelters Radha</h3> ![[0087-Radha-Krishna.jpg]] <h3>The Gopis Watch Krsna Depart for the Forest</h3> ![[0088-BTG--14-2-3.jpg]] <h3>0089/India-print KB1 f.c.</h3> ![[0089_India-print-KB1-f.c-.jpg]] <h3>Radha and Krsna on a Swing</h3> ![[0092_NOD-1st-ed.-FC.jpg]] *Mādhurya-rasa (Devotional service in conjugal love): "The intimate mellow of devotion to the Supreme in conjugal love is established by Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, but such feelings are not at all material." Unless a person frees himself from all lusty desires for material sense enjoyment, he can never experience, or even understand, pure love of God in the conjugal rasa.* <h3>0093/BTG 14-12 f.c.</h3> ![[0093_BTG-14-12-f.c.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Steals the Gopis Garments</h3> ![[0095_KB1-31-pg.154.jpg]] *Due to remaining in the water for a long time, the gopīs felt cold and were shivering.* <h3>Rasa Dancing</h3> ![[0097_KB1-pg.214.jpg]] *It appeared that Kṛṣṇa was a greenish sapphire locket in the midst of a golden necklace.* <h3>Radha-Krsna on a Lotus</h3> ![[0099_BTG-16-11-f.c.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Milks a Cow</h3> ![[0107_KB1-35-pg.208.jpg]] *The gopīs remembered their pastimes with Kṛṣṇa.* <h3>Radha-Krsna and the Gopis on a Lotus Boat</h3> ![[0123_KB1-37--pg190.jpg]] *Kṛṣṇa, the supreme enjoyer, desired to enjoy the company of the gopīs.* <h3>Puspanjali</h3> ![[0134_KB1-38--pg211.jpg]] *Out of many thousands of gopīs, Rādhārāṇī is topmost.* <h3>Radha Talks to a Bumblebee</h3> ![[0140_KB1-52--pg299.jpg]] *"Bumblebee, you are the unreliable servant of an unreliable master."* <h3>Sri Caitanya Appears in Kesava Kasmiri's Dream</h3> ![[0141_NCL-3.jpg]] <h3>Krsna and the Gopis Enjoy Pastimes in a Boat</h3> ![[0142_KB1-28_1984_--KA128.jpg]] <h3>The Gopis Block Akrura's Chariot</h3> ![[0142_KB1-46--pg254.jpg]] *"O dear Dāmodara, dear Mādhava!"* <h3>Radha and Krsna, the Perfection of Love</h3> ![[0142_NKL-12.jpg]] <h3>Srimati Radharani Speaks to a Bumblebee</h3> ![[0144_SB-10_3_1--NE.jpg]] *Uddhava went to Vṛndāvana with Kṛṣṇa's message to the gopīs. Rādhārāṇī, however, was so much absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa that She began to talk with a bumblebee flying here and there, taking him to be Kṛṣṇa's messenger. “Bumblebee, you are accustomed to drinking honey from flower to flower and therefore have preferred to be a messenger of Kṛṣṇa, who is of the same nature. You have come here with a message for Me. But My dear bumblebee, I don’t want it. You are the unreliable servant of an unreliable master.”* <h3>Krsna Greets His Parents</h3> ![[0147_KBC-3--p55.jpg]] *When Kṛṣṇa entered Vṛndāvana with His friends at the end of a day of cowherding, His face decorated with tilaka and smeared with the dust raised by the cows, He was received by His affectionate parents, who bathed Him, dressed Him in clean garments, and bestowed blessings on Him.* <h3>Krsna and the Gopis Meet for the Rasa Dance</h3> ![[0151_NKL-11.jpg]] <h3>The Divine Couple Amid the Gopis</h3> ![[0153_KB1-40--pg215.jpg]] *Mohana Mādhurī.* <h3>Radha-Krsna in a Flower</h3> ![[0153_MP-4.jpg]] <h3>Jatila Chases Abhimanyu From His Own Door</h3> ![[0159_NOD--534.jpg]] *“Kṛṣṇa playfully impersonates Abhimanyu, the so-called husband of Rādhārāṇī.” As part of His confidential amorous pastimes, Kṛṣṇa sometimes acts in joking ways to increase the love of the gopīs.* <h3>Srimati Radharani, the Topmost Gopi</h3> ![[0160_UP--288.jpg]] <h3>Radha Offers Krsna a Garland</h3> ![[0164_SB-10_3_2.jpg]] *Śrī Śrī Rādhā és Kṛṣṇa, az Istenség Legfelsőbb Személyisége és örök társa. „A számtalan kedvelt élvezet és Vrajabhūmi minden szeretetre méltó leánya közül kétségkívül Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī Kṛṣṇa szeretetének legdrágább kincse."* <h3>Yugala Kisora</h3> ![[0165_UP--15.jpg]] <h3>Radha Separated From Krsna</h3> ![[0169_MP.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Begs Radha for Forgiveness</h3> ![[0169_UP--44.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Sports with the Gopis</h3> ![[0171_UP--63.jpg]] <h3>Radha and Krsna on a Swing</h3> ![[0172_UP--64.jpg]] <h3>Radha Offers Flowers to Krsna</h3> ![[0175-UP--108.jpg]] <h3>Material and Spiritual Worlds</h3> ![[0178_UP--129.jpg]] *EN VEDA: There is another nature beyond this material one – the world of antimatter, or the eternal kingdom of God, where trees, animals, flowers, and people all exist in intimate loving relationships with Kṛṣṇa. Each of us has a place in that spiritual world, for it is our eternal home.* <h3>Krsna Calls the Gopis to the Rasa Dance</h3> ![[0186_UP--174.jpg]] <h3>The Gopis Imitate Krsna's Pastimes</h3> ![[0187_UP--185.jpg]] *When Kṛṣṇa suddenly disappeared from the company of the gopīs, they began to search for Him everywhere. Not finding Him, they became almost mad after Him, thinking of His pastimes in great love. Being so absorbed in thought of Him, and with dampened eyes, they began to imitate His dancing, walking, and smiling, as if they themselves were Kṛṣṇa. Due to Kṛṣṇa’s absence they all became crazy; each of them told the others that she was Kṛṣṇa. Soon they assembled and chanted Kṛṣṇa’s name loudly as they moved from one part of the forest to another in searching of Him.* <h3>Radha-Krsna Indian</h3> ![[0195_UP--236.jpg]] <h3>Krsna Meets the Gopis at Kuruksetra</h3> ![[0196_UP--279.jpg]] <h3>Radha and Krsna Swinging</h3> ![[0196_UP--281.jpg]] *Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, the Divine Couple, enjoy pure love for one another in the spiritual world. Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the embodiment of perfect devotional service and, as Kṛṣṇa’s spiritual potency, She is nondifferent from Him.* <h3>Gayatri</h3> ![[0226_TS-01.jpg]] <h3>Gayatri Devi</h3> ![[0226_TS-04.jpg]] <h3>Radha-Krsna In the Forest</h3> ![[0235_RAD-16-NE.jpg]] <h3>Madana-mohana in the Moonlight</h3> ![[0236_RAD-17.jpg]] *Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja, the author of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, declares, “Glory to the all-merciful Rādhā and Madana-mohana! I am lame and ill advised, yet They are my directors, and Their lotus feet are everything to me.”* <h3>Radha-Krsna as Lord Caitanya</h3> ![[Adi-1-5.jpg]] *EN CC Adi 1 1974: Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are one, but They have assumed two bodies. Now They have appeared in one body as Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.* <h3>Krsna Meets the Gopis at Kuruksetra</h3> ![[Adi-1-7.jpg]] *EN CC Adi 1 1974, 1996: The gopīs saw their beloved Kṛṣṇa at Kurukṣetra after a long separation.* <h3>Navadvipa and Goloka Vrndavana</h3> ![[Adi-1-8.jpg]] *EN CC Adi 1 1974: Lord Caitanya appeared with the sentiment of Rādhā and preached the chanting of the holy name.* <h3>Radha, Krsna, and Lalita</h3> ![[Antya-1-4.jpg]] *EN CC Antya 1 1996: “O most beautiful friend,” said Lalitādevī to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, “please accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is standing before You full of transcendental bliss.”* <h3>Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Dreams of the Rasa Dance</h3> ![[Antya-4-4.jpg]] *“One day while He was resting. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu dreamed He saw Kṛṣṇa performing His rāsa dance. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw Lord Kṛṣṇa standing with His beautiful body curved in three places, holding His flute to His lips. Wearing yellow garments and garlands of forest flowers. He was enchanting even to Cupid. The gopīs were dancing in a circle, and in the middle of that circle, Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, danced with Rādhārāṇī. Seeing this, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was overwhelmed with the transcendental mellow of the rāsa dance, and He thought, ‘Now I am with Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana.’”* <h3>Lord Caitanya Joins the Radha-Krsna and the Gopis on Govardhana Hill</h3> ![[Antya-4-8.jpg]] *EN CC Antya 4 1975: “When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw all the Vaiṣṇavas, He returned to partial external consciousness and spoke to Svarūpa Dāmodara. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, ‘Who has brought Me here from Govardhana Hill? I was seeing Lord Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes, but now I cannot see them. Today I went from here to Govardhana Hill to find out if Kṛṣṇa was tending His cows there. I saw Lord Kṛṣṇa climbing Govardhana Hill and playing His flute, surrounded on all sides by grazing cows. Hearing the vibration of Kṛṣṇa’s flute, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and all Her gopī friends came there to meet Him. They were all very nicely dressed. When Kṛṣṇa and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī entered a cave together, the other gopīs asked Me to pick some flowers. Just then, all of you made a tumultuous sound and carried Me from there to this place. Why have you brought Me here, causing Me unnecessary pain? I had a chance to see Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes, but I could not see them.’”* <h3>The Flute-song Carries Lord Caitanya to Vrndavana</h3> ![[Antya-5-3.jpg]] *“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu stood up, and then sat down again. Looking here and there, He inquired from Svarūpa Dāmodara, ‘Where have you brought Me? After hearing the vibration of a flute, I went to Vṛndāvana, and there I saw that Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, was playing on His flute in the pasturing grounds. He brought Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī to a bower by signaling with His flute. Then He entered that bower to perform pastimes with Her. I entered the bower just behind Kṛṣṇa, My ears captivated by the sound of His ornaments. I saw Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs enjoying all kinds of pastimes while laughing and joking together. Hearing their vocal expressions enhanced the joy of My ears. Just then, all of you made a tumultuous sound and brought Me back here by force. Because you brought Me back here, I could no longer hear the nectarean voices of Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs, nor could I hear the sounds of their ornaments or the flute.’”* <h3>Caitanya Mahaprabhu Describes Krsna's Water Pastimes</h3> ![[Antya-5-5.jpg]] *In half-external consciousness, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu described to His intimate associates His vision of Lord Kṛṣṇa enjoying pastimes in the Yamunā with the gopīs.* <h3>Sri Caitanya Sees a Picnic</h3> ![[Antya-5-6.jpg]] *EN CC Antya 5 1975: “Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continued to describe His pastimes with Lord Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana: ‘In Vṛndāvana, the trees and creepers are wonderful because throughout the entire year they produce all kinds of fruits and flowers. The gopīs and maidservants in the bowers of Vṛndāvana pick these fruits and flowers and bring them before Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. The gopīs peeled all the fruits and placed them together on large plates on a platform in the jeweled cottage. They arranged the fruit in orderly rows for eating, and in front of it they made a place to sit. Among the fruits were many varieties of coconut and mango, bananas, berries, jackfruits, dates, tangerines, oranges, blackberries, santarās, grapes, almonds and all kinds of dried fruit. There were cantaloupes, kṣirikās, palm fruits, keśuras, water fruits, lotus fruits, bael, pīlu, pomegranate and many others. Some of them are variously known in different places, but in Vṛndāvana they are always available in so many thousands of varieties that no one can fully describe them. At home Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī had made various types of sweetmeats from milk and sugar, such as gaṅgājala, amṛtakeli, pīyuṣagranthi, karpūrakeli, sarapūrī, amṛti, padmacini and kaṇḍa-kṣirisāravṛkṣa. She had then brought them all for Kṛṣṇa. When Kṛṣṇa saw the very nice arrangement of food, He happily sat down and had a forest picnic.’”* <h3>Lord Caitanya in the Madness of Separation from Krsna</h3> ![[Antya-5-7.jpg]] *EN CC Antya 5 1975: “As His feelings of separation in the ecstasy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī increased at every moment. Lord Caitanya’s activities, both day and night, were now wild, insane performances. Suddenly there awoke within Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu the scene of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s departure to Mathurā, and He began exhibiting the symptom of ecstatic madness known as udghūrṇā.
