PLATE TWO

‘**Pleasure is the ultimate goal of yoga. This pleasure is not a
solitary affair; rather, it is experienced as part of the soul’s eternal
spiritual relationship with the Supreme Soul, Krsna. The yogi
seeking to attain this perfectional stage therefore meditates upon
Krsna’s associates in the spiritual world, the chief of whom is
Radha, His eternal consort and the personification of His spiritual
pleasure potency. The name Radha is derived from a Sanskrit
word meaning ‘‘to worship,”’ and perfect yogis follow Her example
by constantly meditating upon Krsna and dedicating their energies
unto Him.’ (pp. 9-70)
