Srimati Radharani Doll
Sri Krishna is by himself, for himself, of himself, and the embodiment of love. He is always relishing love,
and inviting every soul to come and also relish the mellow of love. The Supreme Absolute Truth is never
without His energy. When Sri Krishna developed the desire to relish the highest mellows of love, he
manifested himself in the form of Sri Radha as Asrya Tattva (the enjoyed) and he remained as Vishaya Tattva (the
enjoyer). Sri Radha and Sri Krishna are none different in Tattva. Of all the gopis Sri Radha has the highest
love and affection for Krishna and she is his eternal consort. Srimati Radharani embodies the supreme
auspiciousness. She is expert in all the celestial arts like dancing, singing, and joking. She is adorned with
supernatural love, enchanting beauty, charm, grace, wonderful dresses and ornaments, and all divine virtues.
Sri Radha’s beauty has been described by great personalities and poets. Her eyes are said to be restless like a
flock of birds moving here and there they playfully wonder in all directions. Her fair complexion resembles saffron
which has been ground on a slab of gold and her smiling lotus face controls Sri Krishna. Her long-black braided
hair is adorned with forest flowers and her cheeks have a reddish hue. Sri Radha’s heart is always saturated
with great affection towards her girl friends Lalita and Vishaka who she shares an intimate friendship with.
Together on summer nights they happily take part in water sports in the company of Krishna and their other gopi
friends. In this way Sri Radha engages in many playful pastimes. She is the topmost youthful maiden of Vraja and
no one can be compared with her.
In order to have variety and multi-farious flavors, Sri Radha expanded herself into innumerable forms, each of
which has a particular mood, behavior, nature, and character. Of all of these personalities there are 8 principle
associates beginning with Sri Lalita. -

Balarama Doll
“Balarama is the first manifestation of the vaibhava feature of Krsna. Sri Balaram and Krsna
have different bodily colors, but otherwise Sri Balarama is equal to Krsna in all respects.” CC
M.20.174
Sri Balarama is also known as Baladeva, Balabhadra, and Halayudha. He is the elder brother of Sri Krishna.
Sri Balarama possesses qualities like Krsna and is the fountainhead or prime source of the all-embracing,
all-pervading and all-extending energy. On his brilliant white body, which is compared to the beauty of a white
lotus flower, he wears garments the color of a fresh blue rain cloud and the color of the sacred Yamuna River just
for Krsna’s pleasure. One time during Krsna’s pastimes Sri Radha gave her blue chaddar to Sri Krsna and then
later Krsna is accused and questioned, “Oh, Krsna! Who’s chaddar is this that you have?” Because Lord Balarama
wears blue garments just to please Krsna, Krsna is able to say, “It is my brother Balarama’s chaddar.” In this way
he is able to conceal the identity of the real owner.
Sri Balarama carries a plow and mushal that represent 2 things. Lord Balarama’s main
business is to prepare all the souls to become engaged in their constitutional position. That is the
conception he has, to serve and please Krsna in every way and form. Sri Balarama uses his mushal
to remove all the anarthas (unwanted impediments in the path of devotion) within the jiva (living
entity). He also uses his plow to cultivate the field in the heart. In other words he prepares the
heart for the seed of bhakti (devotion) to grow. Thus he engages all the souls in Krsna’s service.
Lord Balarama is the origin and last limit of all gurutattva. He serves Krsna in all the 4
different rasa’s or loving exchanges. In Shanta-rasa he serves by manifesting himself as the holy
Dham, the bodies of all associates and the periphanelia of Krsna like his shoes, bed, etc. Balarama
serves in Dasya-rasa by acting as Rama’s younger brother Laxman. He serves and obeys the most
difficult tasks. Furthurmore, he serves in Sakhya-rasa as Balabhadra by always arranging games
for Sri Krsna and all the cowherd boys to play. Sri Balarama serves in Vatsalya-rasa by showing
his parental affection and great mood of protection towards Krsna. One example of this mood is
when Balarama sent Subal Sakha to tell Krsna not to go Kaliya Lake because of the danger of the
Kaliya snake. Finally, in Madhurya-rasa, He serves Sri Krsna as Ananga-Manjari by arranging all
the intimate pastimes between the divine couple Sri Radha-Krsna.
In this world, Sri Balarama and his younger brother Sri Krishna played and acted just like normal cowherd
boys for the enjoyment and salvation of all the souls in this material world. Sri Krishna and Balaram engaged in
extraordinary activities like the killing of many demons who came to cause disturbances in the peaceful land of Sri
Vrindavana. Balarama along with Krishna would roam throughout the beautiful land of Vrndavana. Accompanied
by all the cowherd boys they herded the cows while Krishna played on His flute. The Vrndavana forest is sanctified
as the clear mind of a devotee where the birds chirp and clear lakes glisten in the sun. Sweet-fragranced breezes
always blow refreshing the mind and body. Seeing this favorable situation, Krishna, Balarama, and Their cowherd
friends enjoyed the environment to the greatest extent. -

Lord Ramachandra Doll
Lord Rama is the Absolute Truth Himself who directly appeared as the son of Kind Dasaratha. He came to teach how the ideal king should rule being himself the embodiment of law and order. He also came to show how a husband should act in all circumstances. Carrying out the order of his father who was bound by a promise to his wide, Lord Ramachandra left behind his kingdom, opulence, friends, well-wishers, residents, and everything else, and went to the forest with his wife Sita and his younger brother Laxman.
Carrying His invincible bow and arrows in His hand Lord Rama wandered throughout the forest for fourteen years accepting a life of renunciation and
hardship. -

Indeed she is the goddess of fortune who constantly rests on the chests of the Lord. Sita is always perfectly submissive, faithful, shy, chaste, and she is expert at understanding the attitude of her husband. Thus by her character and her loving service she completely attracts the mind of the Lord. When Sita devi came to stay at Valmiki’s ashram many of the boys staying there were doubting her chastity. -
Laksman
When Sri Krishna wants to relish the mood of service he manifests as Laxman. Laxman is the younger brother of Lord Ramachandra. He accompanied Lord Rama to the forest during his exile and gave him relief from the fatigue of wandering in the forest. He lived to serve his brother Rama in anyway possible.
Once lord Rama expressed that in the whole creation there is no greater brother than Laxman. Laxman’s
dedication to Lord Rama is shown when Nidra devi, the demigoddess who can put anyone to sleep whenever she wants, came to report to Lord Rama that she can serve and bewilder any living being but she could not serve Laksman because he never once slept the whole 14 years in the forest due to his service and devotion to Rama. One can meditate on the unconditional devotional service Laxman exhibited to the Lord and pray for such devotion. -

Lord Caitanya Doll
Lord Caitanya is the supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna himself completely immersed in the mood and
complexion of Sri Radha. He appeared in this world 500 years ago primarily to understand the glory of Radha’s
love, the wonderful qualities in Him (Sri Krishna) that she alone relishes, and to understand the happiness she
feels when she realizes the sweetness of His love. In this way, Sri Krishna, desiring to understand these deep
sentiments, appeared in the womb of his dear mother Srimati Saci Devi and is known as Sacinandan Gaurahari.
Lord Caitanya also came to this world to spread the congregational chanting of the holy names of Krishna all over
the world (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
Hare), thus giving all the living entities of this world the greatest happiness. He is worshipped by demigods such
as Shiva and Brahma. Lord Caitanya’s bodily complexion is more brilliant than molten gold and His face is more
cooling than the moon. His cheeks are very enchanting, and his big eyes are the color of the rising sun. His
forhead is adorned with brilliantly shining tilak. Moreover, His lotus-like feet which are adorned with ankle bells
dance here and there as he engages in harinama-sankirtan and his beautiful arms reach to His knees. Lord
Caitanya’s form is that of a youthful dancer. He is the embodiment of sweetness and he steals away the ignorance
of material existence.
Lord Nityananda (Nitai)
Lord Nityananda is the most merciful incarnation of the Lord. His infinite mercy knows no bounds as it floods
the whole world, none can escape him without receiving love of God. Nityananda is the son of Padmavati and
Hadaya Pandit. He was born in the village of Ekachakra in West Bengal and he is one year older than Lord
Caitanya. Nityananda’s bright face mocks the full autumn moon and his pure complexion is glistening. His
smiling face and his beautiful eyes are very enchanting. In his childhood, he would play and act out pastimes of Sri
Krsna and also Sri Rama lila with all his boy friends where he was origionally Balarama in Krsna Lila and Laxman
in Rama lila.
Lord Nityananda left his home at 12 years old under the shelter of one sannyassi and began his journey spreading
divine love to all without discriminating. One time Lord Nityananda was in deep seperation looking for Krsna in
Vrindavan and he couldn’t find him in any temple that he searched in. In this great separation he heard an arial
voice that told him His Krsna had appeared in Navadwip Dham and is waiting for him to go meet him. He
immediately went and met with Lord Caitanya at Nandana- Acharya’s home. Then he joined the Harinam-
Sankirtan movement of Lord Chaitanya. Every activity since then that he performed was only to deliver each and
every fallen soul in Kali-yuga. Lord Nityananda is worshiped by the whole universe and he is the embodiment of
happiness. He is the most dear to Lord Caitanya and if one worships and remembers him he will receive pure
bhakti (devotion) to Sri Krishna.
He delivered jivas through accpected and unacpected pastime s with lordC and his associates. Unaccpected
pastimes such as once out of ecstacy of gaura prema he ran completely naked to see lord Caitanya, or once he was
riding on a crocadile, once he entered into a wine shop, and as an avadhuta sannyasi he asked a muslim girl to
marry him. As a renounced sannyasi he decorated himself with jewels, necklaces, bracelets, rings and bewildered
the brahmanas. -
Lord Jaganath Doll
Lord Jaganath is Sri Krishna himself in an enchanting deity form. “Nath” means lord or master of “Jagat” the
universe, thus he is known as the lord of the universe. During the solar eclipse that form of Krsna who came to
visit the vrajavasi’s at kurusettra is known as Jagannath. This meeting of radha and krsna is very pathetic. Srimati
Radhika says you have come with opulence mood, and I am also here, but we are missing vrindavan. I wish that
you would come back with me to vrindavan where we can perform pastimes in the forest of vraj” this was
presented by Sr Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Jaganath is very merciful and every year a great rathayatra (chariot)
festival takes place in Puri, India. Our heart is like the chariot, all the gopis came to Kuruksetra to pray to krishna
to come back to Vrindavan, so one can pray that the lord should come sit in the chariot of the heart.
There are many histories of how Lord Jagantha
Sri Baladev (of Dwarka)
Sri Baladev is the older brother of Sri Krishna, Lord Jaganath. Srila Prabhupad describes in the Krishna book that
lord krsna sent uddhava from matura, and now he has sent balaram from dwarka to pacify the vrajavasis,
especially the gopis. The gopis replied to uddhava, “ we are not yogi, to see him in our heart, we are simple village
girls. We are in great seperation. Our mind and heart are one, that is vrindavan. We can never leave vrindavan,
where krishna is always the most happy. As a result Uddhava failed to pacify the gopis.
Baladev saw the vrajavasis when they came to Kuruksetra and he told Krsna, “just see the scenery of vrajadham.
Nanda, yasoda, cowered boys and girls are suffering so much without you. I cannot tolerate seeing them in such a
way. DO you want to torture them by going away? I cannot bare to see their pain.
All the queens of dwarka know the love the vrajavasis have for krishna is like an ocean, and if krishna ever goes
back to vrinndavan he will never go back to them, they are thinking what will happen to us? Family? children? So
they wont let krishna go.
Although balaram never wants to leave krishna in dwarka but the love the vraja basis have for krishna has stund
him. So balarama went on the chariot to go the vrindavan and was welcomed with so much love and affection.
Then balaram pacified the gopi girls by meeting them secretly.
Sri Subadra Devi
“Su” means most auspicious and “badra” means well-being. Subardra is the internal potency called yogamaya for
the land of Mathura and Dwarka. Just to fulfill Krishna’s desire she takes the position of his sister.
Subadra is the sister of Sri Krishna and the only daughter of Vasudeva and Rohini Devi. She was born after
Krishna released her father who was put in prison by the evil demon Kamsa, and therefore she is much younger
then her brothers Krishna and Baladev. Subadra is Arjuna’s wife. Because Arjuna wanted to come closer to
Krishna, Subadra allowed Arjuna to marry her.
She is the wife of Arjun. a and with him she had a son named Abhimanu, both of which are crutial for the outcome
of the Mahabharat.
(she didn’t knowthat arjuna had accepted her as wife yet)Draupadi never knew or saw Subadra but when Arjuna
introduced them to eachother seeing her humility, modesty, chastity, and seeing her dressed as a cowherd girl she
was reminded of Krishna, and Draupadi raised her hand and blessed her, “may you become a wife of a hero, may
you become the mother of a hero, may you never have any rivals.” After receiving these blessings Subadra thanked
her and introduced herself saying “I am Subadra Sri Krishna’s younger and newly wedded wife of Arjuna.” At this
time any feelings of rivalry of jealousy that Draupadi may have felt dissolved.
Sri Krishna has tremendous love for his sister Subadra. She knew that krishnas divine will is behind everything
including allowing the death of Abimanu. She never blamed krishna but rather her love for him increased stronger
and stronger -

and inviting every soul to come and also relish the mellow of love. The Supreme Absolute Truth is never

Ganesh Doll
Ganesh is the eldest son of Parvati and Shiva. While Lord Shiva was away at war Parvati desired someone to stand guard while she bathed. Parvati created a boy, Ganesh, and told him not to allow anyone to enter her
chambers. When Lord Shiva returned home after being away the boy faithfully blocked the entrance way. Shiva became furious, and thus enraged, he cut off Ganesh’s head. When Parvati came out and saw what Lord Shiva had done she began grieving over her son. Lord Shiva then realized who this boy was and sent his men to bring back the head of the first creature they came upon. They brought back the head of an elephant. There is some significance to the elephant which is noted for its sharp intelligence. Ganesh's elephant head symbolizes acute intellect and the power of proper discrimination. Moreover, when an elephant moves through the jungle, it clears the way for others to follow. Similarly by invoking Ganesh, a path is cleared for any undertaking and all obstacles will be removed. Shiva then placed the head on the boy thus bringing him back to life. Lord Shiva further blessed the boy decreeing that all shall pray to Ganesh before enlisting any undertaking. The Nectar of Devotion recommends that one should worship Ganapati to avoid any offences. It is also stated in the Nectar of Devotion that while Sri Krishna is performing the Rasa dance Lord Shiva began dancing and playing his drum sounding like dhin-dhina-dhin. Then his eldest son Ganesh dancing in ecstacy joined Lord Shiva. As long as we have understood that our goal of life is loving service to Krishna, then we can worship Ganesh to help us achieve love for Krishna, not for any other reason.
Ganesh is worshipped as the god of education, intellect, wisdom, health, happiness, inner peace, and wealth. Ganesh is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He has four arms and in them he holds a shell, a disk, a club, and a lotus. -

Shiva Doll
As Lord Krishna is the center attraction in the spiritual realm, similarly in the material world Lord Krishna manifested his expansion in the form of Shiva to Lord over the decentralized world called the material world, where everyone misuses their freewill and make themselves the center. Lord Shiva is neither Jiva Tattva nor Visnu Tattva, Krishna has made Shiva as his own Tattva (Shiva-Tattva). Shiva is the husband of Durga and Lord of the material world but he has his own original position in the spiritual world serving as the gatekeeper of Vrindavan in the form known as Gopisvara Mahadev. One can see Lord Shiva as the protector of the Holy Dham who can allow us to enter there.
Lord Shiva is commonly known as the destroyer of the world. When there is an imbalance and disturbance in the universe and when the sustenance of life becomes impossible, Lord Shiva destroys the universe so that the creation of the next cycle can begin. One analogy is given that just as a goldsmith does not destroy the gold whenhe melts old unusable golden jewelry to create new ornaments, in the same way Lord Shiva annihilates the universe so that souls that were not liberated will have another chance to liberate themselves from the bondage of birth and death. In this way, Lord Shiva is known as the destroyer of the world.
Generally we see the form of Lord Shiva known as Tat Purusha. This form of Lord Shiva is his meditating form. He is sitting cross-legged in a yogic position and his eyes are half closed and in deep meditation. When He opens his eyes a new cycle of creation begins and when they are closed the universe is annihilated for creation of the next cycle. Moreover, his half opened eyes mean that creation is going through the cycle process.
Lord Shiva’s bodily luster is depicted as bluish or white in color. His neck is dark blue in color due to his drinking the poison during the churning of the milk ocean. He did this because he didn’t want to disturb his Istadev (Lord) so he is known as Nila-Kanta. Lord Shiva’s body is smeared with ashes. These ashes symbolize that there is nothing in this world for us to enjoy but that Krsna is the supreme enjoyer. Everything in this world will in the end turn into ashes so we should not think we are the enjoyers. It is explained that Lord Shiva has a third eye which rests between his eyebrows. This third eye is known as the eye of wisdom, knowledge, and power. When Lord Shiva opens his third eye he destroys illusion, false ego, anger, lust, and greed. His third eye also eminates blazing fire that burns everything. The tiger skin that Shiva wears is a symbol of his ability to control and change animal nature. His matted hair represents his magnificent powers and his spiritual life. In addition, the moon that ornaments his head signifies the waxing and waning process in comparison to the evolution of the time
cycle from the beginning to the end. Lord Shiva is shown with a snake around his neck and arms. These snakes stand for His yogic power and His control over desire and sensuality and the snake on his head represents his worshipable lord Sankarshan who is representative of Krishna. Furthermore, Lord Shiva wears a Rudraksha necklace which has 108 beads that symbolize the elements used in creating the world. Lastly, the Trisula or three- pronged trident carried by Lord Shiva represents the three modes of nature namely, tamas (ignorance), rajas (passion), and sattva (goodness). The trident is also a symbol of His desire to destroy ignorance and evil.
It appears that Lord Shiva gives benedictions to demonic persons who apparently fight in battle with Lord Krishna as his enemy, but in reality this is Lord Shiva’s blessings to those demons to receive the mercy of Lord Krishna. Yogisvar the master of all the yoga, krsna is known as yogesvaw or the object of all the yoga processes. -

Durga Doll
Sri Krishna has one Maya potency who engages the living entities in loving service with Krishna. When the living entities go against their constitutional servitor position and forget that Sri Krishna is the Supreme Lord, she manifests her shadow form known as Durga or Maha-Maya (the great illusion). Durga is the wife of Lord Shiva, also known as Mahavidya, Shakti,Kali, and Syama. She is one of the five deities worshiped by the pancopasakas and she presides over the material energy.
When the brahminical culture and religious rights are disturbed by demons Durga comes and punishes them. She protects all from evil and misery by exterminating bad forces such as selfishness, jealousy, hatred, anger, and ego. For this reason, all the gods seek her protection when faced with a great crisis. She is famously known for slaying the demon Mahisha who performed great austerities to seek the boon of immortality from Lord Brahma. Brahma told him that all entities that are born also must die, so the demon Mahisha asked for a boon that he
would only be killed by a woman. Thinking that no woman could be stronger than him he believed himself to be
immortal. Goddess Durga represents the preservation of moral order and righteousness in the creation. In this way, Durga showed her glory by killing Mahisha in order to save the world from such a horrible and demoniac personality.
Durga’s only business is to make all souls suitable candidates for the service of Krishna. This is why it appears like she is punishing souls but it is actually her merciful nature because she is helping everyone to come to their ultimate position.
Her feminine form took shape out of a fire sacrifice. She is said to be greatly beautiful. Her form is very bright and she has three lotus-like eyes. Durga has ten powerful hands that hold many different objects and weapons like Rudra's trident, Vishnu's discus, Indra's thunderbolt, Brahma's kamandal, Kuber's gada, etc. Her 10 arms represent the 10 directions. She has thick hair with beautiful curls, a red-golden glow from her skin and a quarter moon on her forehead. She is shown wearing red clothes which signify that she is always busy destroying evil and protecting mankind from pain and suffering. Her ornaments are carved out of gold with pearls and many precious stones embedded in them. She rides on a tiger that symbolizes her unlimited power. Durga is always under the control of Sri Krishna who gives her direction. -
