Kṛṣṇa Desires to Taste Rādhārāṇī’s Love
“If I deliberate on a way to taste it, I find that I hanker for the position of Rādhikā.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa’s attractiveness is wonderful and unlimited. Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī alone can relish its full extent from Her position in the āśraya category.
- The mirror of Rādhārāṇī’s transcendental love is perfectly clear. In Her heart, Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental features appear increasingly new and fresh.
- Kṛṣṇa’s attraction and Rādhārāṇī’s understanding continually increase, each trying to surpass the other. Desiring to understand Her increasing love, Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself appeared as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
