July 6, 2023The Welcome Of The Women Of Braj
‘Tis morn, O Krishna, awake, all the pretty young milkmaids are calling for you; arise O Braj’s prince, The sun is up in the sky, the moon pales, the tender tamala trees are in full bloom .
The women of Braj have stringed a garland of flowers of many kinds and wait to greet you. Arise dear child, wash your face and have your breakfast, O my heart’s delight!
Says Sura, my Lord of large lotus-like eyes is the abode of bliss that never abates.
