Laagi rat, Radha Shri Radha naam.
Laagi rat, Radha Shri Radha naam.
Dhoondh phiri Vrindavan sagro, Nand dhithona Syam.
Kai Mohan ya khor sankari, kai Mohan Nandgam.
Shri Vyasdas ki jeevan Radhe, dhan Barsanao gaam.
–Shri Hariram Vyas, Vyas Vani, Purvardh (39)
Now I have begun chanting the divine name of Radha. I searched all over Vrindavan, but Nand’s mischievous beloved, Shyamsundar, was nowhere to be seen.
Finally, I reached Barsana, the holy abode of Shree Radha Rani, where I saw the enchanting Shri Krishna, sometimes in a narrow lane and at other times in Nandgaon. Shri Hariram Vyas Ji declares, “Barsana, the sacred village of my beloved and life-force, Shree Radha Rani, is truly blessed.”
This verse embodies Vyas Ji’s deep devotion, love, and unwavering dedication to Radha Rani. Here, the name of Radha becomes his heart’s heartbeat and his sole anchor in his quest to find the Vrindavan Prem Ras.
