Sing the glories of Shyama Shyam's names, forms, qualities, pastimes and abodes. Shed tears of longing for them with your mind absorbed in their loving remembrance ...

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj infuses 1008 devotional couplets with the all-enchanting sentiment of divine love in Shyama Shyam Geet. While illuminating the most intimate divine activities of the divine couple, Shyama Shyam, Kripalu Ji Maharaj reveals the nature of the sweetest form of their transcendental bliss. This sublime happiness experienced by rasik saints during Shyama Shyam's last descension 5000 years ago forms the core content of the text. Kripaluji's depictions immerse the heart and mind in feelings of love and devotion.

The doctrinal verses at the outset explain some of the fundamentals of spirituality and have a deeply satisfying effect on the mind, as if to prepare it for the evocativeness of the bhakti verses to come. In a beautiful poetic style, Kripaluji describes the oneness and simultaneous separateness of Shyama Shyam, due to Shyama being the personification of the highest limit of divine love, madanakhya mahabhava, which makes Shyam fascinated by, and subservient to, Her love. Kripaluji also reveals the exclusive qualities and distinctiveness of the love of the gopis, the topmost selfless devotees of Shyam, and many more practical things that enrich the practice of bhakti yoga, and in particular, meditation on Shyama Shyam.
