Kīrtana — Songs of the Vaiṣṇavas
Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Bol Bol
This composition is from the book 'Gitavali' by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur and he is praying to the enslaved jivas of this world - 'You utter the name of Radha Krishna and you go along with us, then you will get everything.' It reminds us of the blissful pastimes of the Most Merciful Sriman Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu distributing Krishna-nama and Krishna-prema freely to all the living entities as They dance through 'Nadia.' Srila Gurudev has sung this Kirtan during Sri Navadvip Dhama Parikrama along with devotees and the accompaniment of mridanga, kartals, khansar, etc. The Mahamantra kirtan in the later part is in a sweet soothing Vraja-dhun.

Mahaprabhu’s Mood During the Rathayatra Festival
Mahāprabhu’s vision was that the Jagannātha Temple was Kurukshetra and the Guṇḍicā Temple Vṛndāvana. He pulled Jagannātha’s chariot in the mood of a gopī, attracting Him back to Vṛndāvana. Śrī Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī was able to understand everything that Mahāprabhu experienced during this time.
