True love ...

well a student's cousin got chatty with me a few days ago... and he told me some wonderfully weird tales from the Bhagwat Gita. As per him True love is what is between Thakur ji (Krishna/ Narayan) and Radhika. The legend has that Krishna had 16800+ wives yet he favoured and loved Radha above all.

Queens Lakshmi and Rukmani were curious to know the reason and hence asked Krishna .... to which he just smiled and told them he will tell them in time. Once the queens were passing through a place very near to Radha Rani's village , so they decide to stop and invite Radha to their camp.
Once Radha was amidst them they bombarded her with questions as to why Krishna love her most ....but she kept mum...ultimately they gave her a glass of warm milk to drink and bade her goodbye.

In the night when Rukmani and Lakshmi were massaging Narayan's feet they noticed big huge boils on his soles. They got real worried and asked the Lord what happened. Krishna asked them if Radha had visited them and they started crying and replied yes ... he asked them what did they give Radha that her heart was effected? They thought ... and told him a glass of warm milk. The heat of the milk had effected Radha's heart where the lord's feet reside and hence the corresponding effect on Lord's feet.

  1. Radha Krishna ! why not Krishna & Radha?

    Radha is the eternal love. Krishna / Narayan. "TAN MAAN DHAN Prabhu ka Radhika hay saat juda hai" Avatar laynay say phelay Prabhu (Vishnu) say apni leela ka warnan kya Naraynee say. Prabhu ki leela may Naraynee to Radhika ka roop mila.
    Is liye Prabhu kay naam say phele Naraynee ka naam liya jata hai.
