Swing pastime of Radha and Krishna



Especially around Varsana villages and Nandagram, there are many beautiful, old, ancient jhulans. A traditional one is just near Varsana. There is a place called Adangar, I from where looking across the valley there IS beautiful hill called Bilasgar. IS


This hill actually an incarnation of Krishna. Krishna cannot stand to be far away from Radharani, so He has incarnated as this hill. Between Varsana and Bilasgar there is a beautiful valley, which comes very near to a place called Sankarikor, the narrow passage.


In the month of Shravan (July-August), it is the custom that girls visit the house of their mother and father. Normally, Radharani stays in Yavad with her so-called mother in law Jatila and sister- in-law Kutila and so-called husband Abhimanyu. But in the Shravan month, she comes to Varsana. Yavad is very close to Nandagram, but Varsana is not. So, Radha and Krishna are very sad because they are far from each other.


One Ekadashi in the month of Shravan, the sakhis took Radharani to the top of Bilasgar where there was a very beautiful jhulan and they began to swing Radharani hoping the cool breezes from the swing will make Her feel better. It was rainy season; the air was very sweet. They were singing different songs, trying to cheer up Radharani, but she was still feeling a little despondent.


Meanwhile, suddenly, they looked down in the valley and they saw some unknown sakhi coming along the path. She had her sari down over her face, no one could recognize this dark gopi coming. She was coming very gently before the swing. Lalita sakhi said: "My dear sister, why are you standing there? You please come and sit with our sakhi on the swing. She is feeling very sad." So the sakhis they took the other gopi by the hand and they sat her down just next to Srimati Radharani on the swing and they began to swing.


You may have guessed who is the dark sakhi. It is Krishna disguised as a sakhi, in order to get Radharani's association! Now He was sitting on the swing with Radharani and His heart began to beat very fast and He suddenly fainted. He fell onto Radharani and immediately all the sakhis came and said: "What happened?! What happened?!" They start pressing her chest, which should normally be very soft but they feel something very hard. They reached under the cloth and pulled out .... Krishna's flute!!


They unmasked the gopi, sprinkled some water on her face and then Radha and Krishna from this Ekadashi upto the full moon they performed the Jhulan Yatra on top of this Hill.

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 ...
