Mantra

"Krishna is the lover of Radha, who enjoys pastimes in the groves of Vrindavana, the beloved of the gopis and the lifter of Govardhana Hill."
Meaning
A song by Bhaktivinoda Thakura that Srila Prabhupada loved and sang before his lectures. In two verses it gives the whole of Krishna in Vrindavana: Radha's beloved, Yashoda's son, the delight of the people of Vraja. Prabhupada explained this as the highest understanding of God — not the almighty Creator, but Krishna bound by the love of His devotees.
