love in separation (Completed)

Radha krishna

It has been 19 years since Krishna had left for Mathura. Radha and other gopis have come to know that Krishna had shifted his capital from Mathura to Dwarka. Now he was called as Dwarkadheesh.

Radha smiled to know of the success of her Lord. Today was the day of Sharad poornima. It was the day so many years ago when Lord had fulfilled the wishes of all his beloved Gopis and Radhaji as he performed the Raas leela with them. They remembered that day.

How beautiful the full moon was looking in the sky but its beauty was nothing in front of the beauty of Krishna's radiant face. How the wave of Yamuna was dancing in ecstasy but it was nothing in comparison to the ecstatic smile on Krishna's face. How the stars were shining with dazzling light but it was nothing in comparison to the shine of mischief and love that Krishna's eyes possess. How beautiful the whole atmosphere was but it was nothing in comparison to the beauty of Krishna's love. Their heart beat increased on remembering the beauty of the whole setting.

How Krishna was with them at every second of that dance. The way he held their hands. The way he danced with them and the way he showered his love and grace towards the souls who entirely belonged to him.

Remembering all those moments the tears and smile both found rest on their faces. Tears of their unwavering love and smile for his reciprocation. They decided to enact his leelas to keep on remembering him. According to them his remembrance and their faith towards his name was more than enough reason to keep breathing.

They started to enact Krishna leelas. One gopi became Krishna and others surrounded her. Radha was enjoying the enactment of Krishna leelas performed by gopis when a beautiful sound reached her ears.

Radha stood to follow the sound. It was the same sound like that of flute of lord Krishna and it was possible Radha was hallucinating but the illusion of Krishna was the biggest reality of their lives.

After following the sound Radha reached the middle of the forest. On further observation she found it to be the same Nidhi van where Raas was performed. Radha sat down in the middle of the place and she remembered the passion and love with which they danced.

Here gopis were worried for Radha so they followed her into the forest and saw her sitting in the middle. They reached her and began to console her in various ways.

As they were all busy in consoling Radha a young cowherd reached the forest. He saw the way gopis and radha were busy with their dreams. He made their way towards them.

"Why are you all crying for that Krishna who left you in the middle. He is a cheater. Stop reminiscing him for it will only bring you pain. He doesn't know how to keep his love. He is happy in Dwarka with his many wives. Do you think he even remembers you?"

Radha laughed at young man's words and replied- "Our Krishna is the most ideal lover in the world. No matter who he is with we can bet on our lives he never forgets us. And who said we are in pain. Do you know how beautiful that pain is that comes with Loving Krishna. Do you think me and gopis could ever be apart from him. If you think that you are absolutely wrong my friend because We and Krishna are one and we can never be apart. Our breaths are the proof that Krishna is smiling somewhere because if he won't smile our breaths won't exist.

He may be happy with his queens but believe me he is as much with us as he is there. And if anyone of us call for him he would immediately come to our rescue. The bond we share could never be broken. Just like you came here on seeing our tears to make us smile."

Radha continued, "Krishna do you really think we would fail to recognise you. We have seen you in every vision of ours and we see you everywhere our eyes reaches its sight so my darling you are properly mistaken I know who you are???"

Krishna then took his original form. Same yellow garments adoring his perfect form. The peacock feather gently swaying with the breeze. His adoring smile on his face and eyes twinkling with love and mischief for his beloved gopis and Radha.

He then smiled and said:- "Like always you defeated me with words Radhe. Krishna always will belong with you all. My love towards you could never reduce. You are right Krishna could never part from his radha and gopis."

With that said Krishna played the tune of love for his beloved girls and just like that Nidhi Van once again witnessed the union of Bhakt and Bhagwaan.

Gopis and Krishna, Radha and Krishna. The once quiet forest now filled with the tune of flute and celebration of love that surpassed all passion and all happiness. As they all became one with the beat of love and devotion...the universe again witnessed the Raas leela...the union of divine.
