Yes the story is in almost all books, Radha didn't open her eyes for many days, her parents were very sad and thought why is this little beautiful girl child blind, they consulted physicians but couldn't found any solution, then they heard that they should take it to some sadhus, they were planning for it. The king vrishbhsnu was moving in Carts with groups of other people, but suddenly on their way they get to know that kansa has ordered all newborn children to be killed, and in their way they have placed a checkpost which takes children of passers. fearing this her parents decided to change their way and go to nearby villages and then her father Vrishbhanu remembered of his friend Nandlal of Gokul. They come to Gokul from Mathura, and when they brought Krishna near Radha, Radha opened her eyes. And in her first sight he saw Charming face of Krishna, as her first vision.
In some versions Narada Muni went their in Barsana and then on hearing this he suggested to invite Nandlala, as his parents didn't invited many people as they were sad, when nandlala arrived they brought Krishna with them, when Krishna saw Radha, he crawled and moved his little hands in Radha's eyes. This way Radha knew it's Krishna and she opened her eyes, and saw Krishna in front of her, her parents were shocked.
I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
Which one is that book, commenting to follow up with the discussions.
ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is Krishna Key by Ashwin Sanghi..
ReplyDeleteAvoided the name to give more prominence on my doubt.
