Jaya Govinda

Jaya Govinda

Jaya Govinda Govinda Jaya
Radhe Govinda Govinda Radhe

Jaya = Hail, praise, celebrate
Govinda = a name for Krishna – finder of lost cows (souls)
Radhe = vocative form of Radha, the human consort of Lord Krishna

The Intention of the Chant

The metaphors are deep with this one! We celebrate the relationship of divine source and the human soul, as reflected in the amazing love and devotion between (the god) Krishna (as Govinda) and his human consort Radhe.
