Once Krishna had a severe headache. Rukmini

applied all kinds of oils and balms, but to no avail. The

headache still persisted. All the doctors gave all kinds

of medicines, but the headache still persisted. Then

Narada came to Krishna and said, " Hey Krishna, you are

God Himself. You surely know the medicine for your

headache. Tell me, what is it that can cure you of your

headache?"<br>Krishna replied, "There is only one cure for this

headache. Only the dust from the feet of my devotee can

cure my headache. Will you give me the dust from you

feet?"<br>Narada said, " Oh no, can there be a greater sin than

applying the dust from my feet onto your forehead? I will

never be forgiven for it. I cannot do this horrible

act."<br>Krishna said, " Ok then, go to Bhuloka (Earth), and ask

if any devotee is willing to give the dust from

their feet. "<br><br>Narada roamed all over the earth,

to see if any devotee would give the dust, but none

of them were willing, as it is one of the greatest

sins.<br>Hence, Narada came back to Krishna, and said that he

cudn't get the medicine. Then Krishna asked Narada as to

whether he asked Radha too. Narada replied on the

contrary. Hence, Krishna sent him again to ask

Radha.<br><br>Narada came to Radha and said that Krishna has a

horrible headache, and that it can be cured only by

applying dust from the feet of a devotee. Immediately,

Radha collects the sand from below her feet and gives

it to Narada and says, " here Narada, Take this and

apply it to my Krishna's forehead". <br>Narada was

surprised, and said to Radha, " Don't you know that you are

committing one of the gravest sins? If this is applied onto

Krishna's forehead, then you'll go to hell".<br>Radha

replied, "What can be more important to me than Krishna's

headache getting cured. It doesn't matter to me, even if

i'm tortured or sent to hell.There is no greater

happiness for me other than Krishna's health. Hence, I

don't care about the consequences. Please go quickly

and apply this on Krishna's forehead."<br><br>Hari

i like the illustration . i would like to add

some thing . bhakti never expects anything . the

follower of this marg keeos on giving . nothing is

expected back . love , self less love is another form of

bhakti . radha had self less love for krishna . she

never bothered about herself n said <br>" ek nahin sau

janmo ka bhi narak mujhe mil jaye <br>per mere kanha ka

dard kam ho jaye ''<br>means she is not bothering for

the hell birth after birth she is bothering krishnas

pain .<br>thank u very much plz keep on sending sucn

material . mamta
