Hi everyone!

I decided to make a "12 Days of Christmas" video series inspired by RadhaKrishna this festive season. I'll be posting 12 videos on Instagram (one for each of the 12 days) over the coming weeks, with things from RK as the gifts instead of the traditional ones. 😊

(I won't be spot-on with timing with the relevant video available on each particular day, but I plan to do 12 in total and will update the various video links here, no matter how long it takes me!)

I hope you all had a merry Christmas!

Enjoy! Likes and comments welcome and very much appreciated (both here and on Instagram)! ⭐️


Day 1: Christmas Day 2018

Traditionally: On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... a partridge in a pear tree!

Check out my first video at https://www.instagram.com/p/Br18warhyAZ/ to see what RadhaKrishna brought us for Christmas - Balram in a mango tree! 😆


Day 2: Boxing Day 2018

Traditionally: On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... two turtle doves (and a partridge in a pear tree)!

Doves are universal symbols of peace, friendship and love, so check out my second video at https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-DFZfBvMV/ to see what the RK-inspired second gift is - Two awesome brothers! 😊


Day 3: 27 December 2018

Traditionally: On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... three French hens (with two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree)!

Take a look at my third video at https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDJ7TDBi7t/ to see my RK-inspired third gift - Three divine visions! ⭐️


Day 4: (For) 28 December 2018

Traditionally: On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... four calling birds (with three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree)!

Day 5: (For) 29 December 2018

Traditionally: On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... five gold rings (with four calling birds, etc etc)!

Take a look at my fifth video at https://www.instagram.com/p/BsxvLHnB8U-/ to see my RK-inspired fifth gift - Five loving mothers! ❤️


Day 6: (For) 30 December 2018

Traditionally: On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... six geese a-laying (etc etc)!

Take a look at my sixth video post at https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgM1YphRFu/ to see my RK-inspired sixth gift - Six swings a-swinging! ⭐️ This post is made up of 2 videos, so make sure you watch both of them!


Day 7: (For) 31 December 2018

Traditionally: On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... seven swans a-swimming (etc etc).

This post includes 10 videos, so please swipe to watch all 10 of them, with the sound on. I hope you'll enjoy this and find the ~10 minute time investment worth it! It is quite Balram-centric, and includes Baldevi and Gopadevi! 😃


Day 8: (For) 1 January 2019

Traditionally: On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... eight maids a-milking (etc etc).

Please take a look at VM 8 of my series at https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUFJVrnBcI/ to see what my RK-inspired eighth gift is! 😉

Hi RK fans!

I have finally posted Part 2 of my RadhaKrishna-style 12 Days of Christmas series (late for Boxing Day but it's up)! The video link is in my first post above.

I hope you like it as much as Balram in a mango tree for Day 1! ⭐️😊

(The rest will be forthcoming, slowly but surely. ^Look at Tusu - so excited to see me, even though I still haven't been here more recently!)

Lovely scenes consisting of the brothers' love! I liked your Dove comment there A-A-S .🤗 Thanks for this Boxing Day gift . 👏 The scene selection is very good, the background music is good, and the comment you've posted there is very apt and wonderful.⭐️

Pro and Madhuri - thanks for your kind comments! ⭐️ (Madhuri - you can call me by my name, Arti.)

I also really liked the scenes with baby Krishna and little Balram! There was no way I was making something about the brothers without these little cuties in it as well! 😊 And I love the dove symbolism! I'm so glad I was able to get a picture from an RK scene in which Balram and Krishna were lined up perfectly with two doves - this is the picture I used right at the start of the second video. Thanks, RK! 😃

Part 3 of my video series is now up - the link is in the first post.

Even though I'm only on Day 3 video-wise (and it's actually Day 7 of Christmas today in reality!), I think my Day 3 gift is a nice way to finish off the year. I hope you like it as much as "two awesome brothers" for Day 2.

I hope everyone is having a nice New Year's Eve and that you have a fabulous new year when 2019 reaches you! 😊

Wow Arti , this gift was so beautiful and spectacular! The divine darshan of Radha , your pic selection was praiseworthy throughout, and the background music is matching well with the visuals! Thanks, Arti for this third-day gift.🤗

Hi everyone,

Arti is back with parts 4 and 5 of my RadhaKrishna-inspired 12 Days of Christmas!

I may be way late for the actual Day 4 and 5 of Christmas but I think you'll enjoy these videos, given the increased parent-child bonding we've been getting to see in the show lately! 😊

The Day 4 and 5 video links are in the first post - please do take a look and let me know what you think!

I hope you're all having a great 2019 so far! ⭐️
