.Sravana Bahula Ashtami
the day Krishna incarnated on this earth. The day Vasudev and Devaki heaved a sigh of relief.The saviour had arrived to protect them from the tyrant Kans. And their wait culminated in happiness. Not only Kans but Krishna killed many demons and made the whole Aryavarth bow before him with regard.
Vasudeva sutam devam kamsa chanura mardanam.
Devaki paramanandam Krishnam Vande Jagad gurum.
Now his birthday is celebrated by his cousins at Indra Prasth the city of Dreams. The first Arti was done by Rukmini,Satya Draupadi and Subhadra.Vasudev and Devaki specially came for the occasion.
Kunti is overcome with joy.' Kanha I am immensely pleased to celebrate Your birth day here. I consider myself the luckiest."She expressed her joy.
A beautiful song is rendered on that occasion by Jayanti the courtesan's daughter who is a great devotee of Krishna.'
Adharam Madhuram Vadanam Madhuram,Nayanam Madhuram,Gamanam Madhuram,Madhuradhipate rakhilam Madhuram.
O Lord,your face is beautiful,Your lips are sweet,Your Gait is beautiful Your eyes are beautiful. Every thing about you is sweet.. The song captivated every one due to the melody and devotion in singer's voice.
.Rukmini looked at her Lord with devotional love. Krishna smiled at her and graced her the most coveted place in his heart. Only they two know how close they are. Their souls are inseparable.
Satya's lovelorn expression was met with equally droolworthy eye lock by her Lord.that made her forget herself and pine for more such cosy expressions.
Arjun observed Satya and taunted.' Satya Devi don't forget we are all waiting to greet him.Enough of your besotted eye locks. Madhav ! enough for the day." He admonished Krishna.
Satya sulked and every one laughed.Yufhidhtir approached Krishna folded his hands and offered Krishna fine silk garments and ornaments. Krishna touched his feet.' I am like Parth to you. Don't fold hands" Krishna told him.
Bheema approached him and offered him specially made with butter ,milk sweets. ' You know Kanha Panchali and me struggled for two days in the Kitchen to make these with perfection. I challenge no one can make them as tasty and sweet. Taste it." Bheema threw the sweet into Krishna's mouth and waited for applause.
Krishna swallowed it and sideglanced at Draupadi.' It is too nice Bhrata Bheem. I could sense my Sakhi's immense love for me in this. " Every one looked at Panchali.who is highly elated
Satya 'asked Kunti. Bua what will your Arjun give Swami? Ask him to give it before us." She demanded.
Arjun retorted with attitude.' Listen Satya, my present is invaluable not like your present. By the way what did you give? Diamond haar? You know he and me care very little for such things.See Rukmini Didi's present how cute it is. She gave a tiny box to keep his flute.So nice of her."
Ktishna hurriedly covered up seeing the change of colours in Satya's face. ' no Parth. I liked Satya's haar so much I swear I won't remove it ever." He assured her.
Satya felt great as the haar she specially made for him shines on his heart. It won't be removed ever.
Rukmini placed his flute in the tiny box and touched it with her hands. After he left Brindavan Krishna never plays his flute. She heard that his original flute was left with Radha in Brindavan and the present one was sent by Yasoda maa to him when Balaram went to visit them.
Rukmini wondered." Will she be able to hear his Devine flute ever? " she never revealed her wish to him.
Krishna suddenly looked at her and smiled.
