The Radha Stotram

"Truth is nobody’s property;
no race, no individual
can lay any exclusive claim to it.
Truth is the nature of all souls."
Vivekananda

1. Radha is in the home, Radha is in the forest, and She is both behind and before me. I worship the all-pervading Radhaji, wherever She is present.

2. Radha is on my tongue, Radha is in my ears, Radha is in my eyes and inside my heart. I worship Radhaji, who is within the bodies of all.

3. Radha is in my puja, Radha is in my mantra-japa, Radha is in my prayers, Radha is in my memory, and Radha is in my head – I worship that Radhaji.

4. Whenever I sing, I sing about the qualities of Radha, everything I eat is Radha’s prasada, wherever I go I always remember Radha. Radha is in the night, Radha is in the day – I worship that Radhaji.

5. Radha is the sweetness within anything that is sweet; of anything that is important, Radha is the most important; and of everything that is beautiful, Radha is the supreme beauty – I worship that Radhaji.

6. Radha is an ocean of nectarean rasa, Radha is the flower-bud of all good fortune, Radha is the foremost gopi of Vraja – I worship that Radhaji.

7. Because Radha’s face is like a spotless lotus flower, She is known as Padma. She is worshiped by Brahma who appeared on the lotus emanating from Vishnu’s navel, and when She was first discovered by Her father, She was resting upon a lotus – I worship that Radhaji.

8. Radha is eternally immersed in Sri Krishna, Krishna is certainly always immersed in Radha, and Radha is the queen of Vrindavana – I worship that Radhaji.

9. Radha’s name is on the tip of my tongue, Radha’s beautiful form is always before my eyes, descriptions of Radha’s fame are always in my ears, and Radha always resides in my mind.

10. Whoever regularly recites with great care this prayer spoken by Sri Krishna will attain loving service for the feet of Sri Radha-Krishna.

11. Srimati Radhika worships Sri Krishna in Her heart and mind, and Krishna worships Srimati Radhika in His heart and mind; Sri Krishna attracts Radhika’s heart and mind, and Radhika attracts Krishna’s heart and mind. Whoever lovingly recites this prayer will become similarly attracted to the lotus feet of Sri Radha-Krishna.
