Moksha through Supreme Love

Embodiments of Love!

Gita Govinda -- गीत गोविन्द is a great Love poem by Jayadeva of the 12 century AD

It is about Krishna the paramatman and Gopis the Jivatmas; Radha symbolically represents the Gopis; She is also considered greater than Krishna Himself in her qualities.

Her Love is considered to be the highest possible on  earth; there are various disputes that there was no Radha at all; she was older than Krishna; for the beauty of this epic poem we will just keep these things aside and just see the love

One author glorifies Her love as follows:

'As heat is to fire,

                As cold is to ice,

                                      As sweetness to honey

                                                   So are god's qualities to himself,

                                                                  So is Radha to Krishna!

We need to understand that Gopikas were not just milkmaids who lost their heart to Krishna; all of them were Rishis and saints

See a slogam

पूर्वम् यत्र समम् त्वया रतिपतेरासादितः सिद्धयः
तस्मिन्नेव निकुङ्जमन्मथमहातीर्थे पुनर्माधवः।
ध्यायंस्त्वामनिशम् जपन्नपि तवैवालापमंत्रावलीम्
भूयस्त्वत्कुचकुंभनिर्भरपरीरंभामृतम् वाङ्छति॥ ५-२

Meaning:

this is about a riverside bower where once Radha and Krishna were making Love; that spot was the place where Kaman/Manmadan, husband of Rathi got his powers back because of the sanctity of the place sine in that spot only the culmination of the supreme love happened; so that spot is referred to as a holy place; Radha is told all these things.

            Radha is further informed, “Krishna is continuously meditating upon you; your words are his chanting mantras; Moksha can be had by a simple embrace of you Radha!”

                         Here the ambrosial bosom is mentioned; it should not be construed from the angle of man-woman love; Radha’s bosoms are capable of nullifying the sins of any creature as it contains her spotless love and hence compared to Ambrosia that has the capacity to elevate one beyond birth and death
