Radha and Krishna…Becoming and Being
Monday, September 21st, 2015
Monday, 21st September 2015, is being celebrated as Sri Radharani’s Appearance Day…Lord’s supreme-most devotee, Who is verily ‘Bhakti’ incarnated…After the Lord Krishna sojourn, when the Formless took on the form of Lord Sai Krishna, within every being lies dormant the ‘Radha-bhav’ writes Sri Jullie Chaudhuri singing paeans to Radha Krishna on the auspicious occasion of Radhashtami.
So Radha is the becoming and Krishna is The Being. – Baba
Was there ever an I,
Was there ever a You…?
In the absence of ‘I and You’…
…The Absolute Truth reveals…
…its infinitely wondrous hue…
Sri Radha…
…evermore that luminescent glow…
…in reality…
She is Krishna’s heart…
…that flowed forth…
…as would a golden rivulet…a dhaara…
Ceaselessly free…knowing Herself to be Prakriti…
She remained eternally aware of Who She was…
…Her link, sync and mystical union with Krishna…
…knew no pause…
…She knew Krishna to be the Universal Way…
…the Cosmic Cause…
The One Absolute…boundless and beyond…
…never bound by any laws…
Her worship…Her araadh of Krishna…
…was as pure, constant and continuous…
…as a perennial stream…
Forever dancing delightfully upon the Ultimate Ocean…
…a celestially enchanting moonbeam…
Thus,
As per the preordained Sublime Theme…
…Radha – the individual soul abides…
…and merges in Krishna – the One Supreme…
That transcendental adhaar…
…is Radha…
…the everlasting support of Krishna…
Nothing attracted Her…
…for nothing distracted Her…
A love so flawlessly unconditional did reveal…
…an amaranthine appeal…
A timeless saga…
…Krishna and Radha…
Radha and Krishna…
There was and is only One…
…and none other…
Radha is in Krishna…
Radha is Krishna…
And…
Krishna…
…Krishna’s expansion…is Radha…
And so,
When the formless takes on a Form,
Into the human way…
When…
Sri Krishna…Sai Krishna is born,
Within every being…
Oh! So naturally…
…lies dormant the ‘Radha bhav’…
…that sentiment of Radha…
Befitting the Cosmic Play…
…the script that specifies and defines -
Creator and Creation…
Prakriti and Purusha…
Krishna’s Radha…
Radha’s Krishna…
Krishna and Radha…
Radha and Krishna…
She is in me…
She is in you…
It is entirely up to us what we construe…
Totally within our purview what we pursue…
…a past glory renew…
Perhaps traverse that Heavenly Avenue…
Perchance choose to woo…
The Avatar…
Being and Becoming…
Krishna and Radha…
…overcoming separation…
…with selfless adoration and devotion exemplar,
Of an incomparable fragrance by far…
…a vast limitless reservoir…
As did endearingly and enduringly…
… charm and implore…
Radha…Her Krishna…
And…
Krishna…His Radha…
