Chapter 14: Have You Seen My Krishna

 Have You Seen My Krishna 

Radha is searching for Krishna in the spring garden where every tree and bush were full of flowers. Every bower and arbor were eager to hide Krishna to tease his Radha!

Radha is asking that jasmine bush "have you seen my Krishna who knows how to mesmerize the young hearts with his flute ??"

The bush blushed a bit and said "how do I know? I am busy teaching my buds how to bloom to adorn Krishna's  Gale Ka Haar[ neck garland ] while preparing myself to play on his chest !!

Radha ran towards the Vakula tree and asked " you are tall and large, can see up to a far-off place, please tell me, have you seen my Krishna anywhere?

The Vakula tree gone pink which reflected on its budding leaves, it whispered into her ear like a fragrant breeze --"see girl !- I am yet to recover from his fond hug, what a naughty boy he is... hugged me gleefully and kissed on my trunk but said I am going to meet my Radha today !"

Radha then approached the  Yamuna river. Sat on its bank and asked the river " you are the mother of this Nature, please tell me, where is my Krishna?

The river quivered through its ripples and said "What to say Radha?  While passing through this place, he saw his smiling reflection on my flow to set the peacock feather on His head, I lost my heart to that young lad's smile, since then unknowingly running to nowhere to control my resonating vibrations!

Radha stranded there, still searching for her Krishna with her wide eyes open, thinking about him --

Who paved the beautiful colors in front of my eyes which brought joy to my heart  ?! Who gave wings to my thoughts all of a sudden to fly into the sky like a free bird, spreading the love over the horizon ?!

"Finally, my sleepless eyelashes skewed down out of shyness because of your delicate touch in my dream Krishna !!"-

"You are privileged to fill my canvas of world with the color of love and fondness! Who has lent shyness to these pair of eyes which forgot sleep now? Want to know, who is the reason for that glow on my cheeks ?! My joy of watching the first-morning ray is yours now, my smile while watching that moonlit night is also yours, all that is mine is your  Krishna! Now I can see your love in the rainbow colors, please paint those colors on my dreams Krishna, want to see you in all those rainbow colors!

All of a sudden I realized Krishna, there is not much difference between those blue clouds and a peacock feather, one is a devotion and the other is adoration, one is the heart and the other is soul! They are inseparable like us Krishna!

Radha sat there under that tree on that riverbank trying to paint Krishna's image on her thoughts!
