Incalculable trancendental love  of Vraja-prema.

“That very personality who stole away my heart during my youth is now again my master. These are the same moonlit nights of the month of Caitra. The same fragrance of malati flowers is there, and the same sweet breezes are blowing from the kadamba  forest. I am also the same lover, yet still my mind is not happy here. I am eager to go back to that place on the bank of the Reva under the Vetasi tree. That is my desire.”

The deep meaning of this verse, which appears to be the hankering between some ordinary boy and girl, was known only to Svarupa Damodara. By chance, one year, Rupa Gosvami was also present when Lord Caitanya recited it. After hearing the verse, Rupa Gosvami composed another verse, which described the meaning of the original verse. It was a verse spoken by Srimati Radharani to a gopi friend at Kuruksetra:

“My dear friend, now I have met My very old and dear friend Krsna on this field of Kuruksetra. I am the same Radharani, and now We are meeting together. It is very pleasant, but still I would like to go to the bank of the Yamuna beneath the trees of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute playing the fifth note within that forest of Vrndavana.”

Madhavendra Puri  composed a wonderfully trancendental verse …that also brought these verses together in a simple and deep expression by Srimati Radharani.
Granted to him by Srimati Radharani , Madhavendra puri’s verse was chanted by Mahāprabhu in pure love ..It reveals the trancendental desperation contained within the heart of Srimati Radharani in Parakiya Rasa.

This is Srimati Radharani’s plea to Krishna
 “O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathurā! When shall I see you again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?”

“As the Kaustubha-maṇi is considered the most precious of valuable stones, this verse is similarly considered the best of poems dealing with the mellows of devotional service . This  verse was spoken by Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī Herself, and by Her wishes it was manifest in the words of Mādhavendra Purī . ” Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu tasted the full mellows of this poetry . Mādhavendra Purī recited this verse again and again at the end of his life . Thus, uttering this verse, he attained the ultimate goal of life . “O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathurā! When shall I see You again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?”  When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recited this verse, He immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

Thus, the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu have been described by the Goswami’s of Vrndavana and Srila BR Sridhar Swami says that in time as devotional services mature one will be irresistibly drawn towards them .
