Bhramar Geeti is a lovely composition depicting the supremely delightful Sri Radharani’s amazing relishes. She expresses Her bhâv through vilâp, pralâp, chitrajalpa, vijalpa and in so many other beautiful ways. Her bhâvs are like a transcendental offering unto the lotus feet of Govinda. Her intense sâtvik and brilliant absorptions ring in our ears like a musical veenâ and drench our hearts with the ras of divine melancholy. Sri Sri Râdhârâni is mahâbhâv personified and She is the relaxation-shelter for all the senses of Nâyak-chudâmani1 Sri Govinda. Her conversation with a sub-human being is so full of pathos that it wrenches our hearts. Such a composition is possible only in Srimad-Bhâgavatam. Mahâkavi Kâlidâs’s drama ‘Meghdoot’ revolves around the yaksha2 who blew consciousness in to a cloud by chanting strong mantras and sent it as an ambassador to the beloved, whereas our Ishwari is engrossed in the agitation of Her Own bhâv and is expressing Her divine sentiments with a sub-human being, lost in Sri Krishna-bhâv. Sri Radharani’s viraha has become clear to us because of Her conversation with the Bhramar. This novel way of expressing one’s bhâv is unheard of. Such wonderful manifestation is possible only in Nâyikâ-chudâmani3 Srimati Râdhârâni since She is Mâdanâkhya-mahâbhâv personified. Srila Ananta dâs Bâbâji Mahârâj is a renowned preceptor of ras. He has painted this divine picture using his extraordinary realization as a paint brush and filled it with the color of his anurâg. Then he has presented us with this gift of love. The bhramar is a friend of the Sly-one (Sri Krishna) and how well Srila Bâbâji Mahârâj has described him. He has unveiled an incomparable ras-vision of love and viraha, so that we are able to glimpse into Srimati Râdhârâni’s bhâv-mano-mandir4 that is full of divine dilemma and then that beautiful vision strikes us dumbfound ! It will not be an exaggeration to state that ‘Uddhav-sandesh’5 is a fragrant symphony of Srimati Râdhârâni’s viraha-agitation – That Srimati Râdhârâni Who is the Yutheshwari6 of all the Sri Krishna-anurâgini7 sakhis. This rare composition changes its seductive form every moment and constantly heightens our pulse.
