'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 a cowherd maiden, how is it possible to receive a divine light. ? Will that flashes rush into my heart? Will I be able to catch hold of that force with my mere eyes and heart?'-- Madhuri. 😊
In the society at that time, for the princesses and other elite women, there was a system of self-chosen marriage (svayamvar). Though the system was popular, yet it was not always practiced by the ordinary people and there used to be no choice for a girl to select her life partner.
Suddenly she was back into the normal world with the chatter of the maidens while dipping the pots into the river for filling water. On their way back they came near her to share a word with her.
"Radha! Did you get the invitation from your Krishna for his marriage?"
"What, my Krishna is marrying? Whom ? When ? Who told you, girls ?"--Madhuri.
Is he asking my acceptance or searching for truth in a woman's heart about his unacceptable decision? Radha slipped into deep thoughts! It's a process of social evolution .since the society is a living unit undergoing a constant change, it has to evolve according to that Yug Dharma!
She looked deeply into his eyes, she saw a resolution there in those deep eyes to give a new definition to human relationships!
What this kid is going to do or rather define in future? Is he trying to introduce a new norm, a refreshing society where a woman will get whatever she wants and held her head high with self-respect, with full freedom? Is he going to put a new norm in front of mankind, does he want to give free will to the girl to select her partner?-- Madhuri.
