With 21st century item song in Fancy KJo’s Bolly flick says Radha on the dance floor, Radha likes to party but who is this mysterious enchanting ravishing Radha that even Indian Mythology talks indepth about?
Her name is synonymous with someone who steals butter, plays melodious Flute, loves to flirt with gopikas of Madhuban- The whole universe yearned for him but he yearned for Radha,He is none other but avatar of Vishnu popularly known as “KRISHNA”
If you noticed minutely its always Radha-Krishna not vice versa and if you get golden opportunity to visit Vrindavan you shall witness how majority hums Jai Radhe…………
2013 has been special for many reasons so far and one of them is at sharp midnight of Valentines I unwrapped a gift kept for Dad and us, and my happiness knew bounds when it happen to be a beautiful Idol of Radha-Krishna on auspicious day and I thought I shall put my thinking cap to pen about this platonic divinely love which is rare in today’s dog-eat-dog world. Aamir Khan’s puts in awesome dialogue in Blockbuster Lagaan explaining to Firaangi Ma’am about Radha Krishna that they could not be together yet they are never apart, that’s the beauty of their eternal bond of love.
Radha kaise na jaale, a evergreen track that most of us have tapped our feet to its rhythm and for me during Janamasthami at ISKCON and later in college many times and of course its hard for anyone to be in place of Radha. Because knowing whom she gave her precious heart and whose devotee she is having 16000 wives but most touching aspect is we hear Radha Krishna never Rukmini or any other Gopikas because Radha had the purest heart, and the way she danced when he played the flute made it seem like he was back in Heaven and the love in their eyes for each other is beyond any words or expression.
Many believe Radha is Goddess Laxmi herself reborn and obviously girl’s beauty and nature is divine. It is believed that Krishna enchants the world, but Radha enchants even Him.
Radha is Krishna’s biggest devotee and Radha is Krishna’s energy. In other words, you cannot have one without the other. Any picture you see of Krishna, it is not complete without Radha.
Love isn’t about being married or being with someone. Love is connected from soul Radha and Krishna had. They thought about each other every moment of their lives that they became one being in two bodies. Because Radha’s love was so pure, she achieved God Status! The relationship of Radha and Krishna is the embodiment of love, passion and devotion.
In my version of poetry-
O’ Kanha I surrender myself completely to you with divine touch
I don’t keep any expectations much
You are my soul, my heart beat, reason to smile,
We can never be together and too much distance and miles
The tune of your flute makes me filled with joy yet restless
Epitome of True Love is always selfless
You are a true charmer and make any Gopikas go weak on her knees
But I am no less enchantress, my soft love whispers like gentle breeze……………
My unconditional love and tender care even go unnoticed I don’t mind,
One and only soul connect I have is you and no rules of society can bind
Love has no definition, even indepth silence speaks tons as no words to express……
Even you may not be around but your positive aura is enough and I see no reason to be depress
Platonic Love, Passion & Devotion like us will be legendary example engraved with ink of love
We can set things right with undying efforts even the road is full of thorns and so much curve
Destiny may decide who gets to stay in your life but nothing can replace unconditional care :-)
But in end ,Yes it is, Love conquers it all even if Life seems unfair……….
