THE APPEARANCE OF RĀDHĀ-KUNDA IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

It is related in the Adi-Purana how Radha-kunda and Syama-kunda first appeared in the spiritual world. One day in Goloka Vrndāvana, Their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādha and Kṛṣṇa were sitting in a forest kuñja on a jeweled throne attended by the gopis. Deeply absorbed in the pleasure of Rādhārāṇi's company, Kṛṣṇa suddenly began to manifest symptoms of intense love. So intense were Krsna's feelings, that He began to take on the mood of Rādhārāṇī. As that mood increased even further, Kṛṣṇa took on Rädha's very own form. In that form and mood, The Lord began shedding tears and calling out the name of Kṛṣṇa again and again; then out of desperation, ran into the nearby forest in search of Himself.

Seeing Krsna in Her own form and mood, disappear into the nearby forest, Radharani also entered into a mood of intense love. So intense were Her feelings that She took on the mood and form of Krsna. Shedding torrents of tears, She began crying out the name of Rådhå over and over again. Observing Rådhåräni's sudden change of form and intense mood, the gopis tried to pacify Her in various ways, but to no avail. Some of the gopis then decided to enter the forest and try to find Krsna. After searching for sometime, the gopis managed to find Krsna and after pacifying Him to some extent, informed Him of Rádháráni's pitiful condition. When Krsna understood the situation, He immediately wanted to go to Rádhārāṇī. Suddenly a celestial voice from the sky announced that simply by chanting the Navakshara mantra of Rädhärāṇī, She would immediately come.

Krsna who was still in the form and mood of Rädhārāṇī, then chanted the Navakshara mantra and Rädhäränī immediately came there and stood before Him. With Her head bent slightly and Her eyes staring at the ground in shyness, Rādhārāṇi listened as Kṛṣṇa began to address Her in sweet words.

"My dear Rådhå, I am your eternal servant. Please give me punishment in any way You think fit. My dearly beloved Rädhã, I made You cry in separation and caused You pain. I also cried and suffered unlimitedly. Just see, the flood of our tears has created two kundas. The kunda made from Your tears will be knwon as Rådha-kunda and the kunda made from My tears will be known as Syama-kunda."

The gopis became engladdened to see that after hearing from Kṛṣṇa, Rādhārāṇī became pacified and gave up Her distress. Rådha and Krsna then went to take bath in the two newly formed kundas. When Rādhārāṇi dipped into the tear filled Radha-kunda She immediately regained Her original form, much to the delight of all the gopis. Krsna then dipped into the tear filled Syama-kunda and immediately regained His original form.

Yogini Ekadasi

Yudhisthira Maharaj said, "Oh Supreme Lord, I have heard the glories of the Nirjala Ekadasi, which occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Jyeshtha (May - June). Now I wish to hear from You about the suddha Ekadasi that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Ashadha (June - July). Kindly describe to me all about it in detail, Oh killer of the Madhu demon (Madhusudana)." The Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna, then replied, "Oh king, I shall indeed tell you about the best of all fasting days, the Ekadasi that comes during the dark part of the month of Ashadha. Famous as Yogini Ekadasi, it removes all kinds of sinful reactions and awards supreme liberation. "Oh best of kings, this Ekadasi delivers people who are drowning in the vast ocean of material existence and transports them to the shore of the spiritual world. In all the three worlds, it is the chief of all sacred fasting days. I shall now reveal this truth to you by narrating a history recounted ...

Sri Mukunda Datta

Sri Mukunda Datta was born in the Cattagrama district, in the village of Chanhara, which is under the jurisdiction of the police station named Patiya. This village is situated ten krosas, or about twenty miles, from the home of Pundarika Vidyanidhi. In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (140) it is said: vraje sthitau gayakau yau madhukantha-madhuvratau mukunda-vasudevau tau dattau gauranga-gayakau “In Vraja there were two very nice singers named Madhukantha and Madhuvrata. They appeared in caitanya-lila as Mukunda and Vasudeva Datta, who were singers in the society of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.” When Lord Caitanya was a student, Mukunda Datta was His class friend, and they frequently engaged in logical arguments. Sometimes Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu would fight with Mukunda Datta, using tricks of logic. This is described in the Caitanya-bhagavata, Adi-lila, Chapters Eleven and Twelve. When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu returned from Gaya, Mukunda Datta gave Him pleasure by reciting verses from Srimad...

Hera Panchami

The Rath Yatra festival is one of the oldest and most popular yatra celebrated in Odisha every year. Devotees throng from far and wide to revere Mahaprabhu Jagannath’s presence amidst them. The devotees walk along the chariot and Rath yatra begins on Asadha Shukla Paksha Dwitiya tithi every year. On this day, Lord Jagannath along with his siblings, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra along with Sudarshan chakra embark on a nine-day journey to Gundicha Temple which is almost three kilometres from the Shrimandir (Main Temple). They stay there for a week and return to Srimandir on the ninth day. During these nine days, several rituals are performed. Each ritual has its significance. But there is one which portrays an almost human like relationship between Lord Jagannath and his consort Goddess Lakshmi known as ‘Hera Panchami’. This ritual is observed on the fifth day of the Rath Yatra. ‘Hera’ means to search or look for and ‘Panchami’ means fifth. The ritual signifies the longing and ...
