The Night Of Epic Importance
In that evening time, Radha had a premonition of some eventful is going to happen,and was possessed by an overwhelming nervous ecstasy. She was heading towards her favorite nook, to be in her comfortable niche near the river Yamuna, only to lose herself in her imagination.
The Tamala trees on the river bank were swaying their heads, absorbing the cool breeze. The bushes around and the floral shrubs were in full bloom. It looked as if every branch and bush were trying to say something to her. The nearby bamboo grove started singing the melodious evening raga[ Raga Abhogi] with passion. The bushes started swaying as if dancing to the tune. The Sky was glowing with a divine shine! It is an indication of an unexpected guest is going to visit the longing earth soon. Nature painted the western side of the sky with rainbow colors! There was a slight quiver in her heart, an eagerness to meet someone! Who is he... who is he?
"Why is it happening today ... all of a sudden? " A beam of light flashed in front of her! The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and it could rain anytime! With a quivering heart, she looked at the sky, the lightning grinned merrily at her!
'There is a message ... someone is coming for me... to meet this cowherd maiden! How is it possible to receive a divine light. ? Will that flash rush into my heart? Will I be able to grasp that strength with both my eyes and hands? '
The cool breeze was trying to whisper some lovely murmurings into her ears, as if a longing lover caressing her hair. The darkness was slowly widening its territory! The entire Nature was saying "He is coming, he is coming -- see, see... there he is, crossing all the galaxies, all the boundaries trying to reach you, to teach love to mankind, to this entire universe!"
She was in a state of confusion. Decided to return home as the night was thickening. While crossing the muddy paths, she peeped into her brother's house as she passed by... Yashoda was in labor pains! An elderly lady said ... "not tonight, not so soon ... the first rays of the sun will bring the baby into this world!"
After she heard the news, she hurried towards home as her mother-in-law and her husband would be waiting for her.
The crescent of the waning moon was coming out from the slumber and started smiling at the world with its cool rays. The clouds are still there, looking at the moon with envy.
A night was waiting for the events of an epic proportion.

Unreserved Prologue:It was perfectly written I am waiting to see your analysis on the elusive Radhey The Epical Night:What a different perspective of Radhey, Madhuri For me, Radhey is immersed in the name of Krishna. That is their divine love And the descriptions of Nature's joy was perfectly written [/QUOTE] Thanks Krishna for this honorable mention . These elusive thoughts are there since long , but only now finding the way to come out through this story , it is in a way a search for me , my inquisitive mind is the lighted wisp , my emotional outbursts are my guiding forces and all the learned friends' advises as constructive instructions , trying to see how far I can express my inner thoughts . Yes ... Radha was an empowered ancient woman . She was highly respected in Nandgaav as Madhav's companion . [/QUOTE]

So happy to know that being a Serbian , you have immense knowledge and liking for Radha and Krishna eternal Love . Love is always pure bliss , an immortal boon , but unfortunately the mere humans are making it murkier as sin . There is so much to learn in all religions .I agree with you dear Madhu that we have to learn much more every day and it would be nice that we remind ourselves of everything that (spiritual) we learned and what we lived through already before. It would be nice to give us this love as pure luck and as immortal boon, as you say, always be our guiding principle.The Bhagavad Gita is the standard literature for each educated man in the world and an integral part of each library.Srmad-Bhgavatam (Bhgavata Pura)is also something exceptionally as well as the love of Radha and Krishna, as well as transcendental love of Krishna and his bhakti . Love Radha and Krishna are correctly sees only spiritual eyes.I personally I was an atheist until I did not read Bhagavad Gita.My parents were atheists. So I was brought up, but all my life I'm searching for God, and the Bhagavad Gita gave me all the answers and solve all my dilemmas.I read a couple of books Srimad-Bhagavatam, which have been translated into Serbian, but my desire do I get to translation and possession of the entire Srimad-Bhagavatam has not yet fulfilled. So, Madhu, it would be nice to find Bhagavatam interpretation A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the in such a beautiful way interpreted transcendental love of Radha and Krishna. I believe , th

Thank you Radhika , it is my first attempt here to express myself , sharing my views and my feelings with all of you . Since my childhood , I was fascinated reading stories and listening songs about Radha Krishna love and longing , in the perspective of anthropomorphic tendency of our culture , the attribution of human traits, emotions, and interactions to non-human entity , the omnipotent , omnipresent and omniscient God , reflected in our Epics . To define the pure love between man and God, many used this story as an example . For me , the Maiden is the super power who can teach , guide , and solace to even God !
