\nEight Prayers Describing Nectar Pastimes in a Dream
\n(by Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

\nSrimati Radharani said: Beloved, in a dream I saw a river shore like the Yamuna here. There were many expert dancers as in Vrndavana. There were mrdangas and other instruments. There was a brahmana jewel as splendid as lightning who was tossing the universe into an ocean of pure love.
\n\u2014-
\nSometimes He calls out: \u201cO Krsna!\u201d and sometimes He sighs: \u201cO Radha, where are You?\u201d Sometimes He falls to the ground, sometimes He acts wildly, losing all composure, and sometimes He dances ecstatically with His loving associates. He has made all the residents of this world, from the blades of grass up to Lord Brahma, loudly call out the name of Krsna.
\n\u2014-
\nAs I gazed at Him, My intelligence became bewildered. If He is my lover, where am I? If He is I, where is My lover? If He is My lover, where am I? As I slept, I became more and more bewildered.
\n\u2014-
\nSri Krsna said: O inquisitive girl, when I showed You Narayana and My other forms You were not surprised. Why does this brahmana surprise You? Why does He bewilder You so You say \u201cWho is He?\u201d
\n\u2014-
\nAfter speaking these words to His beloved, the smiling lover, Krsna, touched His Kaustubha jewel. The jewel, understanding the Lord\u2019s intent, glowed and then showed all the same pastimes and all the moving and non moving entities She saw in her dream.
\n\u2014-
\nSrimati Radharani reflected for a moment and said: Beloved, I know what is in Your heart now that makes You smile. You are He. What You have said and thought is now clear to Me, and therefore I think I am also He.
\n\u2014-
\nMaking this Kaustubha jewel, which is so delightful to Us, shine in this way, You have revealed Yourself to all living entities. By Your own transcendental potency You will appear, display Your pastimes, teach everyone, and again plunge the world into the ocean of pure love.
\n\u2014-
\nIn the king of Vraja\u2019s presence, the learned Vedic scholar Gargacarya said that You will appear with a yellow complexion. He did not lie. This dream of Mine is true. It is not an illusion. In this dream I have directly seen You.
\n\u2014-
\nIf the bumble-bee of the reader\u2019s mind drinks the nectar of this Svapna-vilasamrta, then that intelligent reader will quickly awaken from the dream of materialistic doubt. Such a reader will attain Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He will sport in the ocean of pure love. He will attain the peerless mercy of the king of Vrndavana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
