Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 In the bhava of a gopi, Narottama Thakura is remembering and he sees that Radhika's hair is untied and scattered hither and thither. He says, “Then, from the corner of her eyes Rupa Manjari will indicate to me that I should fix Radhika’s hair, so I will comb Her hair as well as Krishna’s. Radhika will sit in such a way as to indicate that my combing is causing Her some pain and Her mouth will be slightly curved. Then Rupa Manjari will say, “What are you doing? You should do everything gently.” Then Rupa Manjari will take the comb from my hand and teach me how to do it. Afterwards I will ask her, “Can I do it now?” and she will reply that I can. After combing and braiding Radhika’s hair, Srimati will be decorated with fragrant flowers like beli, cameli, jui and gunja. Then by gathering seven or eight different colors of flowers I will make the garland known as vaijayanti-mala or vanamala." _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
