Japa Kutir, Vrindaban
About five years ago I was standing in front of the altar of Sri Sri Radha-Shyamasundar next to my friend Virabahu Prabhu, who was looking reverentially at the Deities. In his very formal and dignified voice, slightly tinged with an aristocratic Spanish accent, he turned to me and said, "This is the most beautiful Srimati Radharani in the world!" Yes, the resplendent beauty of Radharani here on the Sri Sri Radha-Shyamsundar altar is unparalleled. A nice sign hangs to the right of Radha-Shyamasundar listing the 26 transcendental qualities of Srimati Radharani. I’ve started memorizing two qualities every time I take darshan and then meditate on the Deities thinking of her qualities. Today:
- She can agitate Krishna by the flavor of her glance.
- She is expert in the art of singing.
