✓ Narottam Arjun: Soul of the Sage

t w o - p r e m

Arjun and Krishna were greeted with utmost respect, the brothers served Makhan as per Krishna's wish. "Here," Krishna said as he feed the first bite to Arjun.

What Arjun felt at the moment could not be felt by anyone in the three worlds, the eternal bliss, a feeling of having everything in the world. But seeing the satisfied smile of Arjun's face, Krishna couldn't resist and held out another bite. "Here Parth," 

With the second bite, Arjun felt the presence of divinity, while with first bite he felt the happiness of materialistic world, this time he dived in the spiritual world. Arjun kept his eyes closed as he tugged in his mind to feel the divinity even more.

The look on Arjun's face was beautiful than Vaikunth for Krishna, he forgot all aboutthe surroundings and fed another bite to Arjun. And Arjun? He saw the most divine form, a Goddess in form a young girl, dancing at the tunes of Parabrahma who was in the form of a young boy. 

She was Narayani, and he was Narayan; a few tears ran down Arjun's cheeks as he saw the divinity of Radha Krishna. Krishna stopped in mid-way as he saw Arjun's tears, "Parth," he shook his friend and wiped the tears, "What happened?"

"Nothing Madhusudan," Realising that Krishna was none other than the Narayan himself, Arjun smiled brightly, "Thank you,"

Madhusudan, Narayan slayed two demons named Madhu and Kaitabh, they were his sons, and that gave him MADHUSUDAN. Hearing the name, Krishna gave a smile. Arjun knew who Krishna was, yet his own identity remained opaque from him.

'Maybe we shouldn't be here,' the brother thought, and they left quietly without making the slightest of noise.

"Who is Devi Radha?" like an inquisitive toddler, Arjun's desire to know more about the Goddess grew.

"Radha, words cannot describe her," Krishna walked to the window and stared at the lone moon, his teary eyes staring at the dark sky, "The moon is surrounded by the stars, yet it's lonely, and the moonshine is it's only company and true love."

Kanha chaand hai, toh Radha Chandani.
"I am the moon Parth, and she is my shine," Krishna said.

"Radha ke kan kan mein Krishna, aur Krishna ke rom rom main Radha. We are the one and same.
She is Radha, I am Radhe;
She is Madhavi, I am Madhav'
She is Keshavi, I am Keshav;
She is Shyama, I am Shyam;
She is Gaurangi, I am Gaurang;
She is Mohini, I am Mohan;
We are one and the same;
Vrindavaneshwari or Vrindavaneshwar;
Golokeshwari or Golokeshwar;
Raseshwari or Raseshwar;
 Brajeshwari or  Brajeshwar.
It's all one and the same."

The love of Radha Krishna was beyond understanding, only the true devotees would understand the depth of it. If Krishna was the flower, Radha was fragrance. 

They were a single soul in two bodies, far but never apart.

KrishnaVallabha's RadhaVallabh, the name that gave him the tenderness of love.
KrishnaPriya's RadhaRaman, the name that gave him the feeling of love.
Krishneshwari's Radheshwar, the name that gave him the sense of belonging.
KrishnaKaanta's RadhaKaant, the name that gave him the warmth of bond.

"Where is she? Is she visiting someone outside Dwarka? Cause I did not meet her," Arjun said.

"She is not in Dwarka," Krishna responded.

From the meeting till separation, Arjun heard everything, "Do not worry Madhav, I am sufficient to defeat everyone in my way and bring Devi Radha to Dwarka," he said.

"If it was what she wished, then she would have walked with me Parth," Krishna spoke. Their birth as Radha Krishna was not meant to marry, or stay together. It was meant to show a path, the path of dharma and love.
