Jaya Jaya Radha Krishna Yugala Milan, Bhaktivinoda Thakur, Sri Radhey and Sri Krsna

Bhaktivinod Thakur has written this song “Jaya Jaya Radha Krishna Yugala Milan”. The Official Name of this song is Sri Yugala Arotik (The Ceremony of Worshiping the Divine Couple). This song is taken from the book Gitavali (Section: Arati Kirtana Song 3). Bhaktivinoda Thakura has described the beauties of Sri Radhey and Sri Sri Krishna and how They compliment each other. The gopi’s are incessantly rendering services at Their lotus feet.

(1)
jaya jaya rādhā-kṛṣṇa yugala-milana
ārati karowe lalitādi sakhī-gaṇa

(2)
madana-mohana rūpa tri-bhańga-sundara
pītambara śikhi-puccha-cūḍā-manohara

(3)
lalita-mādhava-vāme bṛṣabhānu-kanyā
sunīla-vasanā gaurī rūpe gune dhanyā

(4)
nānā-vidha alańkāra kore jhalamala
hari-mano-vimohana vadana ujjvala

(5)
viśākhādi sakhī-gaṇa nānā rāge gāya
priya-narma-sakhī jata cāmara ḍhulāya

(6)
śrī-rādhā-mādhava-pada-sarasija-āśe
bhakativinoda sakhī-pade sukhe bhāse

1) Glory, glory to the arati Lalita and the gopis offer to Sri Sri Radha and Krishna!

2) Wearing yellow garments and a charming peacock-feather crown, threefold-bending Krishna is more handsome than Kamadeva.

3) Dressed in blue garments, Her complexion fair, and Her virtues glorious, King Vrishabhanu’s daughter is on playful Krishna’s left.

4) Her many ornaments glisten. Her splendid face charms Krishna’s heart.

5) Visakha and the other sakhis sing songs in many ragas. With camaras the priya-narma-sakhis fan the divine couple.

6) Yearning to attain the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Krishna, Bhaktivinoda floats in happiness at the gopis’ feet.
