Vilapa Kusumanjali is a 104-verse Sanskrit masterpiece composed by Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami during the latter part of his life at Radha Kunda, specifically after the departures of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his close spiritual guide, Sanatana Goswami. While sitting at the bank of Radha Kund he had deep visions of the sweet pastimes of Radharani, serving her in his inner spiritual identity as her young maidservant (Rati Manjari or Tulsi Manjari). But when these visions vanished, he wept bitterly and lamented. Translating to "A Handful of Flowers in the Form of Lamentations," the author expresses profound grief in separation (Vipralambha Bhava) and desperately begs for the privilege of humble, direct personal service such as dressing her, weaving her garlands, or assisting her divine meetings with Krishna. It is Krishna's mercy to continuously fan the flames of the mood of separation to his beloved devotees, and from his disappearance at the Rasa Dance or the Vilapa Kusumanjali we practicing sadhakas can get an idea of that intensity.
