Radha Govind Geet is an encyclopedia of divine knowledge. It's 11,111 dohas, devotional couplets, published in Hindi in two volumes, overflow with the essence of the philosophy of the Vedas, Shastras, Puranas and other scriptures, revealed in a very simple, lucid form.

This holy scripture comprises nineteen chapters, each containing profound knowledge necessary for any aspirant to traverse his or her spiritual journey. The subject of this publication is the very first chapter, which is devoted to the most important quality of an aspirant, humility. One should be more humble than a blade of grass and more tolerant than a tree, only then will he be able to walk speedily towards his goal.

These 644 couplets are the prayerful conversations of an aspiring devotee with the Supreme Lord, in the presence of his Spiritual Master. They inculcate intense devotional feelings, even without any assiduous effort on our part.

In this small publication, the English translation of each couplet is presented, intended to elucidate the meaning, even though this may well be a gross injustice to the divine words of the author. Nevertheless, with feelings of utmost submission and dedication to his lotus feet, asking for forgiveness, an effort has been made to present his words in English. We hope that you, the reader, will bear with our mistakes. Innumerable salutations to our great Spiritual Master, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, for his causeless mercy to reveal such a treasure trove of divine knowledge.
