Krsna Is Always With His Consort, Srimati Radharani, And He Is Playing Flute, And Radharani Is Dancing, This Is Ananda

[Gavin Swinden]

(He was always full of ānanda. Here we have got Kṛṣṇa. He is ānanda-mūrti. He is not nirānanda, without blissfulness. He is always with His consort, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and He is playing flute, and Rādhārāṇī is dancing. This is ānanda)

 

"Ānanda means pleasure, blissfulness. He is always. . . Kṛṣṇa, while He was present on this planet, He showed how to dance with the gopīs. He was always full of ānanda. Here we have got Kṛṣṇa. He is ānanda-mūrti. He is not

 

nirānanda, without blissfulness.

 

He is always with His consort, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and He is playing flute, and Rādhārāṇī is dancing. This is ānanda. So where is our ānanda? We imitate Kṛṣṇa, but we are not able to enjoy because we are in this material body."
