All the four episodes deal once again with the theme of pure friendship, love and the one which wants to take advantage of relations. It also deals with the concept of an individual choice, that love is not to be possessed, but love is the one that gives liberation.
On one hand we see vrishabanu welcoming his friend and the Gokulwasis to barsana. He asking the villagers to ensure the fact that Gokulwasis survived the attack by Kamsa a secret. It shows the great bond between Vrishnabanu and Nandagopal. On the other hand we see Jatila getting insecure in the new relations that are coming. Nandagopal coming there has affected her plans. We see her trying to interrupt Yasodha and Keerthida convo who have kind of wanting to take the friendship among the families to next level of relation through the marriage of their children Krishna and Radha. I loved how pure the feelings of Keerhida and Yasodha were. These mothers have no knowledge of the eternal connection of Radha and Krishna still so instinctively they reach the conclusion Radha is good for Krishna and Krishna is good for Radha. Once again showing a mother with pure heart and deep love for her child will always know what is best for the child.
But Jatila doesnt belong to that category. Her need for Radha as her DIL is to have relation with the mukhya of barsana. To have a sense of power over him. Here more than being a mother, she is becoming a shrewd woman planning and plotting to get power using love. I love the contrast that this show shoes. Prem ka labh and Prem for what it is.
If Jatila is planning and plotting it is nothing different for her son Ayan. Ayan challenges Krishna. He wants Radha as a trophy not realizing Radha belongs to Krishna for eternity. Krishna teases him and irks him. Beauty is that he ends up reacting. I am sure Ayan will make a fool of himself 😆😆 with the vachan he gave. That smile Krishna gives, I was like Ayan phas gaye ho.
Coming to Radha and Krishna. What to tell about them. Krishna teases her, allows her to beat him with the stick. But somewhere Radha for all the anger she has for Krishna cant beat him. I love how Krishna remembers their past, but still without telling a word indulge in the human leela for the world. The most beautiful scene today was when the chunari falls on Radhakrishna Radha holds Krishna's hand and in his eyes she sees them. A vision that gives her peace, but she cant remember what it is. What I loved was, when she touched Krishna she felt him. A feeling that she knew for eternity but cant place because she cant define that feeling in the conscious.
What she felt holding Krishna's hand, she has to see it. Today she saw it as blurred in Krishna's eyes, but again and again she has to bring to vision those feelings to realize who she is and her connection with Krishna. That's what love is. The curse took her memory, but not her feelings. What is going to be proven is that with those feelings in her heart, Krishna will override that curse. Showing pure feelings or prem is the basis of bhakthi because if you depend too much on symbols, rituals if your memory is taken you cant reach Lord, because you dont know how to feel Lord. You only see him and with memory gone your vision cant recognize him. Prem allows you to feel him, so if at any point you forget how he looks or your connection to him, he will be able to reach you through your feelings. The path of heart anyday will override the path of brain.
