Jai Shri KRishna,

Nice story worth sharing but please help me complete or do I have to keep typing?

During Sarawat kalpa, Shri Krishna used to come to Madhuvan with His friends for grazing the cows. At that time in noon hours the devotees of vraj used to offer butter milk in bowls and Shri Yashodaji used to send "Chhak" (the dry meal) for their lunch from Gokul.

The Gopis used to bring their meals (Chhak) in baskets. There were beautiful Kadamb trees near Krishnakund. Sitting there Lord Shri Krishna used to take His Chhaak (lunch) with friends most joyfully and mischieviously.

Once Shri Radhaji wished to sit for meditation in Madhuvan. She told her friends, " I am to sit for meditation in Madhuvan. You all please, stand outside and do not let anyone to enter".

All Her friends agreed and said "We shall obey your instructions" Then one of her friends you know which one Inaxibhen right?
asked "What shall we do if Shri Thakurji (Shri Krishna) comes?

Shri Radhaji instructed "He also should not be allowed. You tell Him this is my order"

All her friends agreed and said we shall obey your instructions.

Now Trushnaji, Unattibhen, Kavitaji and all is this possible? and will Shri Krishna listen??

Shri Radhaji entered the van (forest). She sat below a Kadamb tree with her legs crossed in position of Padmasan. She closed her eyes and went into meditation.

After some time Shri Krishna happen to come by and all friends told Him Maharaj Shri Swaminiji (Radhaji) is in meditation inside with her eyes closed hence nobody is allowed to enter. Even for You permission is not granted

Shri Thakurji (Shri Krishna) asked what for is Shri Radhaji meditating? Whom is she worshipping as I must see that and entered-------

Ok now vallabhi vaishnavs what happened next???

Jai Shri Krishna,

Ofcourse Shri Radhaji will be meditating on Shri Krishna and who else?

She will only be worshipping HIM (Krishna).

What happened next you have to tell us all.

Jai Shri Krishna,

Yes you both were absolutely correct Sunitaji and Sitalji well done.

You know Nutkhat Kana what he must be upto.

Inspite of refusal of the friends Shri Thakurji entered inside. Shri Radhaji being in meditation did not see Shri Thakurji and Shri Thakurji also did not call her. Shri Thakurji continued starring at her for few minutes then He ordered all friends " Please come in".

All friends went inside, under the instructions of Shri Thakurji then all started to dance and sing as if there was Raas going on. The meditation of Radhaji was disturbed and she came out of her meditation. Eyes got opened, suddenly she could see so many swaroops of Shri Thakurji in front of her. She could not see any of her friends. Shri Radhaji was surprised. She got up and said to Shri Thakurji bowing her hands, "What is this leela without my friends? Have I committed any mistake?"

Shri Thakurji said "No, you have not committed any mistake. You had been thinking of me only in your meditation. I just gave you darshan of that swaroop of mine.
Were you not thinking of my many swaroops in meditation?"

Shri Radhaji said Yes.
Then Shri Radhaji requested, " Maharaj it was my mistake. Please forgive me. I should have done it along with all my devotees of Vraj."

Immediately, the different swaroops of Shri Thakurji disappeared and the swaroops of all friends emmerged.

What a Aadhbhut leela. Only God can do that.

Jai Shri Krishna,

Sitalji here is one more.

Radha was very special to Krishna... ............

Much after Vrindavan, when Krishna was relaxing with his many wives,
Rukmini his head wife threw a tantrum... All the time i hear Radhe
Krishna, Radhe Govind... she is not even married to you... how come
no one sings about Rukmini, or for that matter any of the other of
your wives?! Whats wrong with us?... etc, etc Smile

Krishna listened patiently and then suddenly held his head and
complained of a head ache. Now Rukmini felt sorry, and became all
loving and docile again... but the head ache refused to go... Each
wife had her own suggestion about what to do... some pressed feet,
others did some aroma therapy, still others made pastes from
herbs... 16000+ cures were presented, none worked, his head ache
only grew worse...

Narada the travelling Muni then made an appearance (Besides being a
Muni, he was also something of a doctor) and he examined Krishna,
felt his pulse, etc and then proclaimed that Krishna was suffering
from a very rare type of a headache... one that could only be cured
by a Beloved of Krishna putting his or her foot on Krishna's head...
Krishna was in bed moaning softly, and the wives and the courtiers
of the palace had a conference.. . They were all beloved of Krishna,
but none dared to put their foot on the Lord's head, doing so would
mean an eternity in Hell! and they were pondering and wondering what
to do...

... and the news reached Radha in Vrindavan about Krishna's ill
health and she rushed to his palace and when appraised of
everything, asked immidiately to be taken to Krishna, she would
happily put her foot on His head... Rukmini, the other wives and the
rest of the palace was aghast at her quick decision... Rukmini
herself told her that if she Radha did that, she would burn in hell
forever...

If my Lord gets even one second of relief from his pain, then i will
willingly go to hell forever said Radha as she ran to her Krishna
and put her foot on his head, curing Him completely.. .

An abashed Rukmini along with all the other wives touched Radha's
feet and realised how deep her love for Krishna was... and why
people sing Radhe Krishna!!

Similar story about Lord Krishna one day complaining about a stomach ache and He requested charan raaj from his wives and they all refused and Gopis said they will even go to hell for Shri Krishna and gave him their charan Raaj hope u have heard about that one.

Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Jai Shri Gokulesh,

Well as per your request here is one more !!!

The Origin of Radha-kund

After killing a bull-demon named Aristasura, Krishna approached Radharani to
engage in loving affairs. However, She rebuked Him, stating He was impure
because of committing the sin of killing a bull, the symbol of religion. She
suggested that to counteract this sin He should bathe in all the sacred
rivers.

Krishna, being eager to engage in loving affairs with Srimati Radharani,
immediately shoved His lotus foot into the ground, making a large hole, and
called all the sacred rivers to enter into it. They appeared before Him and
formed Syama-kunda (the bathing place of Syama--one who is the color of a
dark rain cloud).

After bathing, Krishna stated that He had become pure by bathing in
Syama-kunda, but that the gopis had become impure, having sided with a
demon, even though he appeared in the form of a bull. Radharani, along with
some of Her gopi friends, broke their bangles and dug a hole with the broken
pieces. But there was no water - so Krishna laughed. The gopis then formed a
line to the Manasi Ganga and started to fill the hole with water that was
passed from one gopi to another. At that time, all the sacred rivers again
arrived in person and requested permission to enter into Radharani's kunda,
which they did after receiving Radharani's blessing.

Jai Jai Shri Gokulesh,

As per my limited understanding the demon turned himself into a bull and wanted to harm all the gopes who were Shri Krishna's sakhas (Friends) and only the antaryami Shri Krishna knew about it.

So Shri Krishna had to kill the bull and inorder to purify himself he had to take bath as gopis said that he had killed the bull.(A symbol of Religion)

While gopis also became impure because they too sided with the bull not knowing that he was a demon in disguise and then they realised their mistake and had to take bath to purify themselves.
