About the Jai Radha Madhav Jai Kunj Bihari

Written by the 19th-century Vaishnava saint Bhaktivinoda Thakur, this short kirtan is sung in ISKCON temples and homes around the world, often before a talk on the Bhagavatam. Srila Prabhupada said it contains the whole of Vrindavan: Krishna as the beloved of Radha and the gopis, the lifter of Govardhan, Yashoda's darling who wanders the forests by the Yamuna.
