Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Cross-dressing in Vrindavan One day, Krsna ordered the manjaris dress up Srimati Radharani like Himself. After rubbing black aguru all over Srimati Radhika's golden body, a yellow dhoti was wrapped, Krsna's ornaments placed, peacock feather and flute put as finishing touches on the body of Srimati Radhika. Krsna then had Srimati Radharani sit on a tiger-skin covered asana with rudraksa beads sitting in meditating position looking like a yogi. When the sakhis entered the kunja, they were very bewildered. "What is this place where there are two Krsnas? Just see; both of These Krsnas have blackish complexion with peacock feather and flute. There is no difference between Them. How is this, and WHERE is our beloved Sakhi? Bewildered and upset, the gopis became worried, "What are we going to do? If we go back without our sakhi, what will Mother Jatila (Srimati Radharani's mother-in-law) say? How will we explain Srimati Radhika's disappearance?" Thinking that the Krsna without the rudraksa beads must be Srimati Radhika, the gopis asked, "Oh Radhe, why is it you are dressing yourself as this black-hearted wicked boy Krsna? Let Krsna pretend to be a yogi; we have to go home. Mother Jatila is waiting for you and if you don't come home with us, she will become very disturbed. Imitating Srimati Radharani's voice, Krsna said, "My dear friend Lalita, Krsna has done this to me. I had no control over what He has done. He has made me to look like this. It is a very complicated issue and I am embarrassed to tell you how Krsna has accomplished this act of changing me to look like Him. The gopis hearing Srimati Radhika's voice felt relived to find their beloved sakhi, knowing that She was here and safe. The sakhis went to embrace their beloved friend, Srimati Radharani, but were shocked to find that Her bodily limbs were exactly like Krsna's. Completely horrified, they asked, "HOW has this happened? Except for your voice, your WHOLE body is exactly like Krsna's body." "Srimati Radharani" said, "Krsna hypnotised me with mantras and I could not move. Then Krsna poured water all over me; that water over which He had also chanted mantras. Because my mouth was closed, the water was not able to enter, and thus my voice has remained intact. 'Radha' with tears in 'Her' eyes, then said very softly, "Krsna also did something else, but I can not speak it out loud. I am so embarrassed. I can tell only Lalita, but in private." The gopis not wanting to cause 'Srimati Radharani' any further distress, all left the kunja leaving Lalita Sakhi there with their beloved friend. After the gopis had left, "Srimati Radharani" immediately grabbed Lalita Sakhi, embraced Her and started intimately kissing Her. Lalita completely shocked and barely able to get Her words out asked, "WHAT are you DOING???" 'Srimati Radharani' then answered, "I was so much embarrassed to tell you what Krsna did that I showed you instead." Then, Krsna, revealing His true voice began again kissing Lalita, both of Them laughing. Krsna got Lalita to promise that She would not tell the other sakhis what had happened. Lalita then left the kunja and called Visakha, saying, "If you want to know what happened to our beloved sakhi, you will have to go and ask Her. She made me promise I would not tell anyone." Thus, Visakha entered into the kunja and the same thing happened to Her, and the same with all of the other astasakhis. All glories to the most amazing Srimati Radhika, Who, known as Madan Mohan Mohani, caputures the heart of Krsna with Her devotion. All glories to Her beloved sakhis. All glories to that beloved Syama of Vrindavan who has captured the heart of all of the residents there, and all glories to the cross-dressing of the Supreme Divine Couple, and Their lilas which capture the hearts of Their beloved devotees!!!
