Greatness of Radhey Name:
(Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj explains the meaning of four new kirtan verses relating to the greatness of Radhey name in Kishangarh, India, on September 8, 2009.)

‘Ra’ se sab bhagen pap Govinda Radhey,
puni aave to ‘dhey’ dhakka de ke bhaga dey.
...
When someone says ‘Ra’, the first syllable of ‘Radhey’, all his sins run away. But as he is a mayic soul, they all return. But when they do so, ‘dhey’, the second syllable, gives them a big blow and drives them away.

Radhey nam sunatahin Govinda Radhey,
Shyam bhaje aave bolen puni kahu Radhey.

When a soul says Radhey name with real feelings of love, Shri Krishna comes running to him and says, “Could you please say Radhey name again?”

Radhey nam ‘Ra’ ko suni Govinda Radhey,
Shyam bhaji aaven sochen ab bolega ‘dhey’.

When someone says ‘Ra’, Shri Krishna rushes to that soul, expecting that he will say ‘dhey afterward – even though that person may be intending to say ‘Ravana’ instead.

Radhey nam sunatahin Govinda Radhey,
Shyam bhajen peetpat murali gira dey.

When Baby Krishna hears Radhey’s name, he runs from Mother Yashoda’s lap so eagerly that His little yellow kachani (waist-cloth) falls off and He drops His tiny murali (flute). He runs towards the sound of ‘Radhey’ without even caring that He is naked.
