At that time Balarama and Krishna were five years old. They took the cattle to

Brindavanam for grazing. Maadhava entered the flower- laden woods, tuning his

flute, along with Balarama and the other gopalas. The jungle was enchanting. The

bees, birds and the deer were making strange sounds and capturing the hearts.

The breeze was laden with the scent of lotuses. The trees bedecked with flowers,

fruits and red shoots stood there as if welcoming Swami.

 

A:dipurusha Govinda was telling his brother Balaraama, “Brother Balarama! Your

feet are worshipped by celestials. All these trees bearing flowers and fruits on

their heads are bowing their heads to offer their respects to your feet. They

are saluting to get rid of their stha:vara janma (a stationary life)and the

thamo:guna which was the result of their sinful actions in their previous

births.”

 

We get a tha:masic birth due to our past wicked actions. (papa). To get over

that we have to worship the devotees of Lord (Bhaagavathaas). All the trees in

this Brindavan are awaiting to worship Balarama’s lotus feet.

 

“The bees are singing your praise that sanctifies all the worlds. Oh! Balarama!

See how the peacocks are dancing on seeing you. These bees are secretly singing

your wonderful qualities. They must have been some great souls who had

surrendered at the feet of ‘bhagavathas’. The deer with their charming looks are

serving you in adoration. These kokilas (cuckoos) are singing sweetly welcoming

you - like the hosts who invite their guests warmly. It is the nature of noble

souls to treat the bhagavathas in this manner.

 

Baladeva! With the touch of your feet this earth, grass and the shrubs became

magnificent. With the contact of your hand the trees and climbers are

sanctified. With the grace of your kind looks the rivers, mountains, birds and

animals became pure. With the touch of your shoulders the gopikas are blessed.”

 

Thus Srikrishna Bhagavan noticed that his brother is more powerful than Him.

SriKrishna showed the world that the touch of a Bhaagavatha is more competent to

purify the souls than that of Bhagavan.

 

Let us all realize this fact and serve our A:charya and be blessed by Him.

 

O:m Haraye: Namaha! O:m Haraye: Namaha!! O:m Haraye: Namaha!!!

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
