"My mind you travel in the realms of Brahmam which has His hair adorned with the feathers of a peacock hen in her rut, whose cheeks compete with a fresh sprouting redleaf in colour, Who dwells in desire at the breast of SriiRamani the Lakshmi..". the greatest recluse is enchanted by the earthly beauty and the amorous beauty of that dark urchin of Brindaban,
The beauty of Krishna and Radha drives Jayadeva into raptures of devotionपश्यति दिशि दिशि रहसि भवन्तं त्वदधरमधुरमधूनिपिभन्तं।

This is a very beautiful song of separation from Jayadevas Giitagovinda.. Here Radha is under the pangs of separation from Krishna at at the same time in desperation and anger mixed with love for Krishna because she had been informed by her friends that the dobonair lover is having a nice time with other girls. Radha is never pleased with such activities of Krishna but then her love for Him is eternal..So she is in a condition as if she is smouldered by the fire of separtion from Krishna.
The condition of Radha is explained to Madhava in detail by a friend and emissary who has approached the lover who has gone away in mock estrangement.
1. You Hari the master, Radha is visualizing that you are engaged in kissing and loving other girls in secret places and they are drinking the nectar of your lips. So she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart.
2. You Hari the master, Radha made a brave attempt to come in search of you, but out of sorrow and tiredness she has fallen down in her place even while she was taking a few steps towards your rendezvous. Therefore she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart
3.You Hari the master, Radha is being burnt by the fire of love but she is just remaining alive in her place covering herself with cooling aids like covering her body with the stalks of the lotus, just keeping alive in the desperated hope that you will come back to her and love her to hear hearts content. Therefore she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart
4. You Hari the master, she has adorned herself in exquisite clothes and jewellery in the expectation that she will be receiving you in her place, and she is hallucinating that the jewellery and other adornments represent you and so she is herself Madhava..Therefore she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart
5.You Hari the master, as if in a stupour she is repeatedly asking the friends why you are not coming to her and give her love.Therefore she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart
6. You Hari, the master, Radha, in her hallucination is seeing you in the darkness of her abode which is resembling the blackest cloud, you the personification of the beauty of blackness and is making moke embraces and giving kisse to that darkness. Therefore she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart
7. You Hari, the master, she has kept her abode clean, and has adorned herself to the greatest beauty in the expectation that she will be receiving you immediately, but now desperate that you have not yet visited her, she is shedding tears. Therefore she is sitting in her bower in utter sorrow with a broken heart
8. May this beautiful song of Jayadeva describing the vipralamba state of Radha, please the hearts of all the readers and shower on them the blessings of Hari.
(Gita Govindam)
..All mothers see in Krishna their eldest son and expects Him to take care of their lives and lives of their other children
His little elder brother
In a village there lived an indigent widow with a child of five years. The man of the house had left for God's abode when the child was just one year and what he left behind was only a thatched house, a little land and a few cattle. The lady was, through her dint of hard work, tilling the soil, rearing the cattle and eking out an income to keep the child and herself away from hunger. She would have preferred t have forty eight hours for a day to do all her chores. The child Ram was now ready to go to a gurukul to learn his first letters. The boy was enthusiastic but the gurukul was some seven miles away with a stretch of thick forest spanning three miles intervening. The boy could not travel the distance, especially the forest track for fear of the obvious dangers. The mother had no time to accompany the child lest they would starve.
So she told little Ram, " My child you can go to school from tomorrow.. Remember that you have a little elder brother who lives in the forest, rearing his own cows and happily singing on his flute. When you reach the forest area, you just call your elder brother, and he will look after you. But mind you he is a very shy boy. If you ask anything about him he will simply leave you and go away. So simply obey him and follow him."
The child had absolute faith in what his mother said. He set out to school the next morning. When he reached the precincts of the forest the child was terrified. He did not know how to proceed. He called out, "My Anna, I do not know how to go ahead, come and take me through the fores"
True to the mother's words, there appeared a dark little boy slightly older than Ram. He was surrounded by some cows and calves and he had a rustic flute which he had tucked to his hip-garment. " Young brother, I knew you will come. Now walk along with me. I will lead you through the forest path." The elder brother entertained the younger one with music, snacks and nice stories, and the child did not know the tiredness of walking so long a distance. While leaving him, the Anna said, " when you are coming back, you just call out to me, and we can happily walk back."
This happy routine continued for days. The mother was happy. Ram was a bright boy and the guru was also pleased. The class consisted of many princes and other rich students but the Guru was always kind to our little Ram.
One day it was announced that the Guru's daughter was getting married. The students were all invited for the happy function. It was the duty of the disciples to offer presents to the Guru's daughter on such occasion. Ram asked his mother what he could do. She has nothing to give. She said, "Ask your Anna"
That morning Ram unburdened his woes to his Anna. The elder brother was cheerful. " Do not worry. I shall arrange for a present."
He just filled a coconut shell with the milk from a cow he was rearing and told the young boy to give this shell with milk as the present.
The innocent Ram was happy. He carried the small coconut shell with little milk in it with great gusto and offered it as present to the marital couple. The affluent classmates around him were laughing at him. The Guru's servant openly quipped "what is to be done with this little milk in a dirty coconut shell?" The guru was kind. He instructed the servant to pour the milk into a cistern. But when the milk was poured , the flow never stopped. The cistern, and all other utensils in the house were filled with milk, but still milk was flowing.. that milk of divine aroma and taste.. The teacher was wonder-stuck. " From where did you get this cup of milk?" He asked.
The innocent boy that Ram was recounted all his story about his daily travel with his Anna, and how the elder brother had secured the present for the young child.
"What is the name of your elder brother?" Asked the Guru. The child replied that his mother had instructed him not to ask any personal questions to the Anna and so he did not know.
But the Guru knew. " That Anna of your is none other than Govinda himself. Come to the forest, let us all have a darshan of Him" The guru, his family and his sishyas all made a beeline to the forest, with Ram in the lead. As usual, Ram called out his Anna. There was no response. He repeated the address a few more times and when there was no result, Ram started crying.
Then a voice came from the forest, " My younger brother Ram , you are innocent and you did not know who I was. So I was visible to you and I played and sang with you. But now you know who I am, and all these people also know that. I cannot appear before you in person any more. But I love you so much.. Whenever you call me with love I will fulfill your wants.. But you cannot see me again."
Yes, Krishna is a wonder... He Gave us Gita, He assured us that He will appear before us whenever righteousness wanes and evil forces try to gain ascendency..
यथा यथा हि धर्मस्य घ्लानिर्भवति भारत अभ्युत्थनमधर्मस् तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहं॥
yathā yathā hi dharmasya ghlānirbhavati bhārata abhyutthanamadharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmyahaṁ|| ( bagavat gita)
He assured I am sitting in the heart of all, I am the controller of the memory, knowledge, and the loss of such faculties, I am the one who is known by all Vedaas, I am the author and executor of Vedaanta, and I am the one who knows the Vedas completely..
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि सन्निविष्टः मत्तः स्मृतिज्ञानमपोहनम् च वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्यः वेदान्तक्रित् वेदविदेवचाहं।
sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ mattaḥ smṛtijñānamapohanam ca vedaiśca sarvairahameva vedyaḥ vedāntakrit vedavidevacāhaṁ| (bagavat gita)
So who is Krishna? So who is not Krishna?
