Living The Vrindavan Dream

(Warning: Very long post)

This is the post describing my trip to Braj Dham <3

Day 1:

We reached Vrindavan at around 3 p.m. Had prasad and then after resting for a while, we left for the Banke Bihari Temple.

Tbh, my experience in Banke Bihari wasn't very good. Not because of the temple itself, obviously, but because of the people. Rushing in like literal animals! Like, yeah I understand y'all are excited to see the lil Manmohana there, BUT SO ARE WE! Anyyyyway, we did catch a good glimpse of Him there sooooo 🫠❤️🥹❤️

Anyyyyway, we then went to the Sneh Bihari Temple. It was way less crowded and people were civilised. Soooo yeah, that's where I broke down. Like, my Keshav looked so freaking beautiful there, I just couldn't bring myself to dam my tears. It was simply ethereal...✨

He just looked so freaking beautiful and I felt like I had transcended all limits of the world...💫

And guess whaaat? The pandit of the temple called me near him AND GAVE ME A BEAUTIFUL GARLAND FROM KESHAV! IT WAS LIKE THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE; I HAVEN'T BEEN HAPPIER FR FR!!! OUUUUFFFF KESHAV I LOVE YOU TOOOO!

We then visited the Ashta Sakhi Temple, Radha Ballabh Temple and the Keshav Mahadeveswar Temple. The serenity there is to die for. Like, why not? It's our Kanha's place after all!

Day 2:

JANMASTHAMI DAAAAY!!!!!!! THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE? HELL YEAH!

Soooo, I wore this beautiful ghaghra for my Keshav's bday celebrations.

But ek haadsa hogaya. Four monkeys legit jumped on me to snatch my beautiful latkans. One of them even managed to rip one of the latkans off my ghaghra🥲. One grabbed my ghaghra, and the rest three grabbed my chunari. But Kanha saved another me from a full-on Vastra Haran sooo yeah. I just got a few scratches.

Anyyyway, first, we went to Seva Kunj Temple. There, I did my Keshav's abhishek!!!!!! I've never felt happier, fr fr; I almost cried. He looked so freaking cute like aaaaahhhh!

From there, we went to the Radha Raman Temple. Again, it was crowded to the point that breathing became laborious. Couldn't catch a proper glimpse of Keshav there 🥲

Next, we went to Radha Damodar Temple. This place was great. Crowded, but organised. Plus, they had an almost empty bhajan hall. There, we could sit peacefully and I could get lost in my Keshav's thoughts...😌

From there, we went to the Meera Bai Temple. There was a super beautiful cow sitting in front of the idol. It felt as if the Murlidhar himself was petting her gently as she sat there calmly with her eyes closed. <3

We then visited the Govindji Temple. That place is so freaking beautiful! Like, you can feel the walls echoing the name of the darling of Vrindavan; it was simply blissful.

After that, we went back to our guest house to rest. In the evening, we went back to Seva Kunj for the Janmashtami celebrations.

IT. WAS. THE. HAPPIEST. I. HAVE. EVER. BEEN. IN. MY. WHOLE. ENTIRE. LIFE

Firstly, we had a beautiful pravachan by a Maharaj Ji. He basically talked about the birth of Krishna.

So, it's a lesser-known fact that Yashoda maiyya actually gave birth to twins, Yogmaya and Vrindavan Krishna. So, when Vasudev brought in Devaki's Krishna, both the Kanhas became one. And when Krishna and Balram were leaving with Akrur ji, the Vrindavan Krishna stayed back in Vrindavan. So, he technically never left. AND THAT'S WHY VRINDAVAN'S AIR REEKS OF LOVE AND DIVINE BLISS TO DATE!

Anyway, the Maharaj ji said so many other sweet things about us Krishna lovers. He was like, "We all sitting here for our Krishna; do you know in what roop y'all are sitting here? We're basically gopis here."

And I was like, "YES, YOU SAID IT! YOU SAID IT!!!!" It made me so happy for real!!!!!

Sooo, after the pravachan, there was kirtan. And each one of us, men and women likewise, danced our hearts out for our Kanha. It was so blissful, y'all. Dancing without a care in the world with complete strangers tied to each other with a single thread of love for our one and only Keshav; it was one of the rare times when I've felt truly joyous... 💫

At midnight, we all welcomed our Kanha by doing mandir parikrama. After the festivities were over, we had prasad after thanking Krishna for being with us always <3

Thus ended the best day of my life...🌺

Day 3:

The Janmashtami hangover was still there when we got ready for Seva Kunj again. We did kirtan there again before having prasad. Then in the evening, we left for ISKCON.

Now, I don't have any words to describe how freaking beautiful and ethereal our sakha looked there! Like, he looks so perfect that you can't help but tear up...✨ His beautiful lotus eyes legit glimmer at you overflowing with love. There's nothing more peaceful than just staring at his face there for real. Everything in ISKCON was so freaking beautiful; simple exquisite. All the lovely mural paintings, the mesmerising idols, the gorgeous architecture; I could spend the rest of my life there without any regrets.

Moving on, we left ISKCON for Prem Mandir.

F. I. N. A. L. L. Y

And there, I legit became oblivious to my surroundings. Like, my friend legit had to guide me through cuz I was in a trance-like state. The freaking delightful and charming statues showing different phases of my Keshav's life looked as if they were speaking to me. The lovely statues of Radha Rani with her Kanha were just so so so pretty! The temple interior gave heaven vibes for real. Like, I just don't have the words to describe how happy and tranquil I felt in there despite the crowd... ❤️ I completely lost my heart and soul to the Makhan Chor that day...💫 Did that quite happily, I'm telling ya.

Thus ended another glorious day.

Day 4:

The day I've probably been the most heartbroken, cuz that's the day we left Vrindavan.

But not before visiting Nidhi Van. Y'all, if anyone ever tells me Krishna is mythology, I'm cutting their throats off without batting an eyelash. Like, you literally FEEL Kanha walking beside you and caressing your arms lovingly as you walk through Nidhi Van! The trees there, gracefully twisted and intertwined with each other, are a living testimony of our Kanha's raas with his Radhe and sakhis... ✨ It was just so soothing to feel His presence right next to you there!!!! I'm just repeating the same thing again and again, cuz that's basically what you live there in the land of Keshav 🥹❤️

Anyway, melancholy struck immediately after we left Nidhi Van cuz yeah, we left Vrindavan... Yeah... It was heartbreaking. Like, yeah, He is with me always, every day, every second. But I LEFT VRINDAVAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, RIGHT!? Also, it was raining cats and dogs when we left. Call me over-dramatic, but I'm just gonna assume that it was my Keshav's bittersweet way of sending me off.

Anyway, we left for Radha Kund where we stayed at a मठ. In the evening, we went to see Radha Kund and Shyam Kund. Again, I felt His mischievous blissful presence pulling my leg right there <3 I felt my sakha lingering beside me, smiling at me with all His love. And I have no idea what overcame me, but I started singing 'Natnagar ki hai Saari Leela' aloud. Like, I hope no one minded that. But at the moment, my mind couldn't think of anything or anyone else but my Manmohana for real.

And yet another day in Braj passed by.

Day 5:

Our last day in Braj. We went to Barsana!!! We visited the Radha Rani Temple, of our very own Madanmohini... ❤️ The temple is so beautiful, y'all. Architecturally, aesthetically, and spiritually; it's simply perfect! And our Radha Rani, oufff! Unke baare me kya hi kahun? She's ever gorgeous, beautiful, dazzling, and whatnot! 🤩 And we both laughed about how Kanha is such a simp for her soooo, yeah!

The rest of the day, it simply rained. So we couldn't do much. But yeah, I listened to songs thinking about the past couple of days I spent with my Keshav himself... 💫

And yeah, the next day we left Braj... No further elaboration.

My Vrindavan trip in short

I MISS THAT PLACE SO MUCH ASDFGHJKL!

P.S. I called up my bestie @pragyan05 and made her ugly cry by telling her about my Vrindavan trip 😌 I mean, why should I suffer alone.

[misssclumsy]

Desi parents be like "tumne abhi duniya dekhi kanha hai" and won't let you see duniya as well.

[aratrikauwu]

The moon used to be beautiful, but ever since you left Kanha, it has become just a stinging ball of light, it has become dull. Nidhivan, the forest where we used to spend our pastimes, has become barren, lifeless. The water of the ghats have lost their sweetness, the birds have stopped chirping. Vrindavan has lost its shine, Kanha.

How could you be so heartless, Kanha? You did not even come to meet me before you left. You used to say, "Oh Radha! I cannot even spend a moment without you, let alone a lifetime!" It turns out that you are a great liar, Kanha. After all, you can live without your priya sakhi. You did not even think about your Yashoda maiyya. How could you be so cruel to her? How could you be so cruel to me? Who will do my shringaar for now? For whom will the gopis make makhan now?

Oh Kahna! Please come back! Please steal makhan from our homes! Come back for only a moment, the people of Vrindavan long for a glimpse of you. Please, just come back to us.

"Sakhi, I'm always with you, how could you forget this?"

Why do I hear your voice, Kanha? People used to call me kalankini, now they will call me pagalini too.

"No sakhi, I'm here, with you. I lie in each and every corner of Vrindavan. How could you forget this? I am nothing without Vrindavan. Look in the water of the ghats, you will find me. Look in the trees, you will find me. I am everywhere in Vrindavan, sakhi. You just need to look for me."

I look in the mirror to see my murlidhar smiling at me. I smile. How foolish of me to think that my murlidhar could every leave me! He is indeed everywhere! He lives inside my being. How could he ever be separated from me? Madanmohan can never be separated from his Vrindavan for,

Vrindavan lies in him, he lies in Vrindavan~

[janaknandini-singh999]

After Krishna left for Dwarka, Radha used to keep herself a lot busier than usual; doing her chores back in Vrindavan, talking to the trees finding Krishna in everything, taking care of the people and animals. At night she would go to her room and sit in front of the mirror, sigh and take out her shringaar. Tonight, as soon as she looked into her reflection, it was her Kanha smiling at her.

"How's Dwarka dheesh doing?" she carefully kept her tone as teasing, afraid that if he suspects even a little bit of sadness then he will come running to her right away, leaving everything behind

"Oh please, Radhe. You should come sometime, you used to before but you barely do now."

Radha cupped Kanha's cheek in the mirror

"My sweet mohana, you know I can't. It's my duty to give you and your ashtabharya all the space and love," laughing, she added a little wistfully "As it is I don't really have a good reputation out here. Krishna's lover. But why? Krishna has millions of lovers. The whole brahmaand is his lover. Why worship one exclusively with him? If he loves all his lovers equally then why just worship this Radha with him? She isn't even his wife. Unlike Mahadev and Parvati, they aren't even legitima-"

"Radhe." Krishna stopped her with tears in his eyes

Radha, hurting as much as him, apologized and continued "but it is true, my love. People only view love as black or white. They think marriage is sanctity when it is the bond that is. Not the label."

Nodding, Krishna whispered "do you miss me?"

She laughed till there were tears in her eyes too "Oh Kanha, you are everywhere I look. Every time I breathe."

"Then why talk to me like this? Why summon me here?"

"Because you are everywhere. Everywhere but right here."

Kanha's eyes softened "I am within you, sakhi. Always."

Nodding and smiling, she looked away to wipe her tears "yes yes, I know that." she looked back in Kanha's eyes "only if I could somehow tell that to Yashoda maiya, Nand baba and all the gopiyan and people here. Maiya is inconsolable, kanha. She cries and says 'that boy always tricks me. I saw the universe in his mouth when he was a child. Now wherever I look, I see him. But I just want him to come steal my makhan. Kanha, where are you? I promise I'll never scold you.'

Krishna touches the mirror ever so gently

"Kanha, they think you are not real when you are everywhere. They think it's an illusion and all they do is weep."

"But they forgot that Maya is Krishna and Mohana is Krishna. Everything that involves krishna is as real as the morpankh falling from the sky quietly into their palms when they think of Him." Radha and krishna whisper at the same time

"Tomorrow the Pandavas and Kauravas fight and I'm Arjuna's saarthi. After killing Kansa mama, the trajectory of my life has changed completely. But I miss Vrindavan, Kishori. I honestly don't even know what to do. They call me God but forget I'm a human in this avatar too. All I can feel is Gandhari's pain. Even if she hates me with everything she has and cursed me for my existence but I just can't help but feel for her so deeply. What can I do?" he sobs

"What Kauravas did was wrong but Gandhari is a mother, kanha. Her pain can't be measured. It is unbearable but justified. But so is your karma and dharma. Whatever you do will be remembered forever. They all need you. So go, sakha. Do what needs to be done. I believe in you. I love you. We all do."

Krishna smiled through the tears

Radha whispered "we parted physically to fulfill our dharma in this lifetime but you know? I.. I'm just so tired, Kanha. It's been so long. I just want to go home. To Goloka. Our home. I feel my purpose here is coming to an end..."

"So is mine, Radhe.. so is mine. We are One." Kanha clutched the mirror closer to his chest and Radha did too - both of them in an eternal embrace.

"We will go home very soon. To everyone we love, finally. It's my vachan, sakhi."

Soft is not weak

Summary : 2 Times Vasanta was someone's friend and the one time...he was someone's worst nightmare

Tags : No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count : 1682

1. Arjun

Arjun became friends with Vasanta when he was once on a stroll with Madhav.

They had been roaming around the market when the exotic and sweet smell of various flowers hit their noses and they decided to follow the enchanting scent to its source.

There was a shop of flowers and the man who was selling them had a bright smile on his face, beckoning anyone and everyone to buy his flowers.

As they got closer to the shop, Kanha narrowed his eyes at the man as he got a feeling that he had seen him somewhere. And then, it struck him.

“Nalin?” Madhav called out suspiciously as he approached him, leaving Arjun in confusion. 

The man, Nalin, looked at the voice and turned his head towards them. His smiling face faltered for a bit in confusion and then brightened up even more if possible.

"Madhav!”

Nalin rushed to Madhav and picked him up in a tight embrace.

"Nalin, you can put me down,” the dark skinned man told him in a strained voice, being thoroughly hugged and suffocated by him.

“It's been so long since I have seen you!”

Arjun was almost sure Madhav was about to die of suffocation, the way he was turning blue, so he prepared to pull Nalin away if he had to but thankfully, the said man put him down that instant.

Madhav gasped for a few moments, trying to catch his breath as the man kept on chatting to him, oblivious to his friend’s near death experience.

“This is…Arjun….by the way,” Kanha introduced him between gasps, the overjoyed man’s gaze now turned to him. “Tritiya Pandava of Hastinapur and the best archer in the world.”

Arjun blushed at the comment but held out a hand to shake. Nalin shook his hand, thankfully, and led him to his shop. 

He explained excitedly about all the flowers, their details and everything and anything about them. 

His excitement and happiness was contagious and soon, Arjun got caught into it too, laughing and smiling along with him.

*

Needless to say after the encounter, Arjun decided they would be really good friends and thus, started to visit him more often whenever he was in Dwarka.

He was caught in the man’s radiant aura, happy-go-lucky attitude and sweet humor and started loosening up a bit more.

Arjun was glad that Nalin had become one of his closest friends along with Madhav.

As for Madhav, whenever he would sometimes visit Nalin without him, it would amuse the man too much. 

He didn’t know why he would be so smug whenever he met Nalin alone but got jealous for anyone else but decided to not pay it too much attention.

*

Until he got his answer at his wedding to Subhadra where Vasanta was invited too.

“Say Nalin,” Parth asked him in full mischief. “Don’t you think our Parth needs more flowers?”

He said, referring to Arjun who was covered till his waist in flowers while Subhadra was giggling at the small shower of petals raining on her gently.

“That is such a great idea!”

It was then Arjun decided they were no longer friends as exactly one breath later, he was seeing, breathing, feeling and smelling only flowers.

“Are you okay, Parth?” Vasant’s voice called out to him.

In response, he only gave him a thumbs up from inside the hurricane of flowers. 

He might not like the man for his antics, but Vasanta was such a sweetheart that Indra would curse him to hell and back if he even thought of saying ill about him.

He only wished Vasant would stop hanging out with Madhav.

2. Kama

One fine day, Vasant had found Kamdev with his head in his hands and looking absolutely desolate.

“Manmatha?”

The said god looked up to him with unshed tears in his eyes.

“What is it?! Is something wrong?!” Vasant asked him, alarmed. 

He mumbled something gibberish but Vasant could make out the “Rati” from his nonsensical gibberish. 

It was no news to him that Kama was trying to woo Rati as he was smitten with her but so far, he had no luck. And if he deduced right, Kama was moping exactly about that.

“Manmatha,” he said softly. “Say it all again, but louder and clearer.”

“I want to impress Rati and we are going to meet at sunset today,” Kama replied, still wearing the same expression.

He gasped at that. “That is such great news! But why are you sad?!”

“Its because the place we are meeting at is a desert and I found out from one of my doots that she loves flowers!” He wailed. “She said, she was returning to her home and that place is the only place she would be able to meet! How will I woo her in a desert of all places?!”

He wailed again and buried his head again in one of his hands. 

And so did Vasant. Not out of desolation but experasation. 

“And did you forget that you are friends with the literal God of Spring?” Vasant asked, removing his hand from his face and totally calm but still experasated at him. “I don't know, you could just ask me to create that desert into a springfield?”

“Wait, will you do that for me?” Kama looked up at him, hopeful.

“Only to stop your moping like a rejected lover.”

*

True to his word, Vasanta went there with Kama before sunset and with a little bit of focus and mumbling of mantras, the desert with oceans of sand was now turned into a springfield.

The field contained flowers of different and all kinds and the air was filled with their scent instead of the dry sand and the winds’.

When Rati had almost arrived, Vasanta quickly dived behind a bush and watched everything unfold.

Rati was astonished and happily surprised to see the flowers. She ran through the field of flowers with laughter and beamed at Kama with happiness. 

Manmatha could only smile at her shyly as he saw her radiant, unabashed happiness because of him.

Or more likely, because of Vasant.

*

In conclusion, Vasanta was hugged so rigorously by Manmatha that he had turned blue and would have surely died if he didn't choose that moment to put him down.

While Vasanta was still catching his breath, gasping loudly for oxygen, Kama stayed unaware of it all, still giddily talking about how Rati had started to fall for him.

Vasanta now wished he hadn’t helped him.

+1  The Asurs

There was a war going on in Devlok and Vishnu, as usual, had to sit on the sidelines, while Indra led the Devlok army against the asuras.

It was their usual routine: some asur, who had nothing better to do with his life, sat meditating to Shiva for years to ask for a powerful boon.

Shiva, impressed by the devotion (and learning no lesson from his previous encounters), granted it to the asura and now, that asura had come with an army to overthrow Indra.

When Indra had to come to them for help, all he and Brahma could do was to give a look to Shiva before promising he would send the devas for help.

This boon forbade him, Shiva, Brahma and many other Gods and Goddesses from laying a finger on any asuras and currently, the fight was not on their side as the devlok army was getting injured badly.

He was getting worried because if they lost this war, the asurs would truly take over the Devlok and they were only a breath away from it happening.

Suddenly, he got a bright idea and summoned Naradmuni.

“Summon Vasant for me.”

So what if he cannot fight the war? He can certainly find loopholes to tilt this war in their favor.

*

As soon as Vasant was summoned, Vishnu deliberately moved in front of a dangerous attack to take it for himself and cried out as much as he could to get Vasanta’s attention.

He really was injured but played it up just a bit extra as Vasanta’s eyes widened and he rushed to him.

“Deva! Deva! What happened?! Are you okay?!” Vasanta cried out as he took him in his arms and laid him gently on the ground.

“I don’t know,” he weakly whispered. A half lie. But not totally because the attack was indeed dangerous and found himself losing conciousness.

“No, no, please, no,” Vasanta begged to him tearfully but Vishnu only smiled at him before he fainted, hoping Vasanta did what he had to.

As soon as his friend passed out in his arms, Vasanta called one of the soldiers and asked to get him away safely.

Then taking a deep breath, he summoned a spell with anger.

A vine shot out of his hand, grabbing the asur suddenly by the neck that had attacked Vishnu and choking him for a good measure before snapping his neck.

This attracted some other asurs who charged towards him and met the same fate as the first one, being bombarded, suffocated and killed with the vines that Vasanta unleashed on them.

Very soon, Vasanta took on the entire army by himself, using flowers, leaves vines and creepers to kill every single one of the asurs.

The entire Devlok could only stare in awe at Vasant’s fighting prowess, the usually gentle and happy-go-lucky God now unleashing his lethal side to the fullest and lay waste to the entire army.

The finale was even more spectacular.

The asur who had asked for the boon was being killed by first being tied up with the creepers and then, getting stuffed with flowers inside his throat until he suffocated slowly to his death.

Vasanta only looked at the Devas with the same look he had killed the entire asur army with, making everyone flinch in fear, and then, proceeded to go to check on his friend.

*

After that war, needless to say, no one in the Devlok or Paatal lok underestimated or mocked Vasanta for being gentle ever again.

After all, the underestimation of Vasanta from the Asur was what had got him and his army killed and Vishnu had used that loophole to the fullest.

Narayan only smiled at the entire turn of events.

[prettykittytanjiro]

Hi anon! Hope you're having a good day :) I'm so glad to see you in my inbox!

I actually just made a post on the same question, right here! (Click on 'here')

Cursed Fruit

For you I'd bite into that cursed fruit.

For you, I'd stare straight into the endless black void of the Unseen Deathless One's eyes and crush the seeds between my molars: once, twice, thrice.

For you, I'd let the sweet tart juice of the pomegranate slide down my throat and trickle down my chin; I'd let it stain me inside and out— the way you have stained me inside and out with your hands and tongue and words, with your love.

My breath is yours to take away, my lips are yours to kiss, as marked by that red, red juice that bursts from the seeds of Death's realm and runs down my throat and coats my lips to trickle down to my chin.

In Life and in Death I am yours, yours, yours.

Yours to do with as you please.

Ask for my love, and I will lay kisses on your lips and your cheeks and your eyelids and your forehead with those same stained lips (you are mine just as much as I am yours). Ask for my loyalty, and I will stand with you, sword raised and your name echoing in my throat like a warcry (people call for their god and I call for mine). Ask for my heart, and I shall rip it out of my ribcage with my bare hands and lay it at your feet (you could ask to be the ruler of the gods and I would find a way).

My love is yours, my loyalty is yours, my heart is yours.

Let the juice of the cursed fruit mark me, let the world see and know, let the colour sink into my skin and flesh and stay there for eternity, till even the Deathless Ones are but a distant memory swallowed up by the passage of time. Let the juice of the cursed fruit claim me in your name.

In Life and in Death, I am yours, yours, yours.

Yours to do with as you please.

Murmuring humare saath shri raghunath under my breath at every step of my life wasn't what I originally planned but it surely has proved out to be the best thing ngl.

My All For You

The dark grey clouds The light blue sky The heavy mist shroud and the playful lies The caressing breeze The soothing rain All of these breathe through your eyes again

The joyful yellow The serene blue The reserved black The pleasant flute The peacock feather and the kadamba tree Bring back the images of your smiling face

The elegant lotus with its dainty pink The pious tulsi with her blessed green The beads of Vaijayanti with their tranquil white Bear the reflection of your beatific light

My longing eyes with your carvings in them My restless heart pulsating with your breaths My battered soul healing with your grace My sanguine self waiting for your blissful embrace...✧

— Dwarkadhish x Dwarakeshwari

🦚 SYNOPSIS : When Krishna can't see his priya frowning in sadness, so, he comes up with a way to cheer her up.

🦚 KAMAL'S NOTE : This is just a work of fiction and nothing to do with the actual events. I just wanted to write something for Maa Rukmini and Krishna since there is not much. Hopefully I didn't cross the line. This fic made me hate the word 'hand' to be honest 😮‍💨. The devider is from this post.

Kamalnayan = Lotus like eyes, Sri = Mahalakshmi/Rukmini, Nupur = Anklet, Aradhya = Adored one, Arya = Honorable one.

Sweet wind blew past the raven locks, forcing them to dance on the rhythm with it. Dwarakeshwari, Rukmini Maharani, sat on the edge of the majestic water fountain. Her hand playing with the rippling cold water. The full moon shone brightly in the night's sky. The reflection of the moon in the water made Rukmini appear glowing.

Everything happened so suddenly. One day, she was writing a letter to Kanha to come and save her and the next she is now married to the said Manohari. Few days ago she came to Dwarka with her husband. People here are loving and welcoming to her but Rukmini could not help but miss her father and brothers.

Since day one she was their beloved princess but everything changed when Rukmi decided to prioritise his political friends and hate towards Krishna over her. Going against Rukmini, he rejected Krishna when he asked for her hand in marriage and then he fixed her marriage to that demon, Shishupal. Still, Rukmini loved her brother and wanted the best for them.

"Can't sleep?"

A sweet voice broke the silence of the night. Her hand stopped it's action. Rukmini heard quite footsteps advancing towards her as her heartbeat sped up. Even after loving him for years and being married to hi, Rukmini couldn't help but blush whenever he was around her.

Krishna walked up to Rukmini and sat right behind her. Their eyes met through the waters reflection but Rukmini averted her eyes away as a feeling of shyness took over, making Krishna chuckle. His wife, his Sri, can look into others eyes and put them in their places but she can't even look her Shyam. Oh! How much he yearns to see those beautiful kamalnayan.

"Could not sleep?" Krishna asked again, this time even more softer.

Rukmini nodded her head, giving him a quiet 'hum'. Krishna dipped his hand in water. Taking her hand in his, Krishna swayed them, feeling water pass through their fingers.

"So, what is bothering my beloved?"

Rukmini remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I was thinking about my people back home."

"Is that so?" Krishna wishpered, "Do you regret marrying me and coming he—"

Before he could finish, Rukmini had turned around and slammed her hand over his mouth, "What are you saying Madhav? I can never."

Rukmini felt his lips curling up into a smile against her palm. Krishna held her hand by his both hands and brought them down. But instead of letting go, Krishna clutches it even firmer.

"You are finally looking at me."

Rukmini gasped at the realisation and all the heat raised up her cheeks. As she quickly looked, Krishna took her chin between two fingers and made her face him again. Rukmini kept her head down.

Hay Bhagwan! My shy wife. Madhav thought to himself.

"Would you like to go somewhere......With me?" Krishna asked.

Rukmini nodded her head without any hesitation. Krishna stood up and held out a hand for her, "Sri?"

Rukmini placed her hand in and got up. Then Krishna started leading them out of the golden palace. They walked for at least 60 vighaṭi but neither of them seemed to mind. By day Krishna is mostly busy with work and Rukmini also has to play the mother goddess she is.

They don't get much time to spend together other than the night. They walked through the furnished road, hand in hand, under the starry night. At the end of the city was a forest. Krishna led her into it.

Moonlight failed to enter through the cover of tall tree branches. As the forest went darker, Rukmini, unknowingly, brought herself closer to Krishna. Though Krishna saw that, he didn't say anything because seeing how shy his Sri is, she might pull away.

"How far is the place, Madhav?" Rukmini asked when the road seemed to be endless. They couldn't stay out long. As the king and queen of Dwarka, work was already on their shoulders.

"Just a little more Sri." Krishna whispered, giving her hand a firm squeeze.

They walked a little more when Krishna suddenly stopped. Rukmini looked at him confused. Krishna released her hand and held up the jewelled flute. As Rukmini held the flute with care, Krishna went behind her and palmed over her eyes.

"Ma-Madhav?"

"Just a little more to go." Krishna whispered in her ear.

Rukmini trusted and started forwarding. Losing the ability to see, her other senses became stronger. The forest was silent. The sweet sound of their nupur chiming echoed through the silent woodland accompanied by occasional hooting of owls.

Krishna came to an abrupt stop, "Ready?"

Rukmini nodded impatiently, "Yes, Madhav."

Krishna slowly removed his hands. A bright light blinded Rukmini for a moment. She blinked her eyes to adjust to the light and when she saw scenery before her all she could do was gasp in surprise.

The place was glowing compared to the rest of the dark forest. Fireflies dancing with each other. Beautiful flowers are blooming all over the place. Birds like peacocks, parrots, owls, flying like it's broad daylight. Then there is deers, red panda, horses and many more playing like friends.

"Madhav, what place is this? This looks like it is Vaikuntha."

"This place is Divya aranya. Do you like it?"

"This place is heavenly. Why didn't you bring me here earlier?" Rukmini breathed out, failing to look away.

Krishna sat on the ground with his hack leaning on a big tree. While Rukmini admired the magical forest, Krishna admired his ārādhya. Her eyes sparkled like gold, taking in everything. When she was done she came and sat beside Madhav.

"How did this come here?" Rukmini felt like a child, seeing the world for the first time even though she herself was Devi Mahalakshmi.

"That…….is a story for another time. Just know that there was this man who created this place because he couldn't see his priya frowning in sadness." Mischievousness swimmed in his eyes.

Rukmini smiled with a knowing look. She really had completely forgotten about her previous sadness with her brother. Which gave Krishna relief. The last thing he wanted was for her to be sad. That too in his presence.

Rukmini felt a different sense of boldness as she dropped her head on his shoulder. When the sun goes up they will be pulled into the same work routine. So, Rukmini wanted to savour these moments as much as possible.

"Can we stay here a little longer?" Rukmini asked softly and he replied back, "As long as you want."

Rukmini's eyes fell on the flute in her hand, the divine flute that everyone praises.

"Arya, you have never played your flute for me, have you?"

Krishna laughed, "Every rag, every sur, every dhun that I play, is for you, my Sri. If not you, then I have no reason to even exist."

He sure is a ladies' man. Rukmini thought as her cheeks became red.

Rukmini gave him his flute back, "Play something for me, won't you, Arya?"

"Anything for you, Sri."

Krishna took the flute, placing his lips on it, he started playing the most madhur dhun she had ever heard. The aranya became more joyful, birds danced with the melody, animals became hypnotised with how enchanting it was.

And Darkeswari drifted into the dreamland with her head resting on her beloved's shoulder and hearing the madhur dhun.

Not Krishna and Radha coming into my dreams as a kid. As an elder sister, my elder sister duties are going on even in my dreams. Kanha being the cutest menace he is, made me run here and there laughing, giggling like a cute fluffball. Like baby Im tired you cutie. And radha beINg the lovely child she is, said to me "I see you always take care of everyone, but nobody takes care of you or even appreciate you" while I was feeding her food and said she wanted to feed me as well. Im gonna cry this was so sweet. I was literally having my best time. These dreams are so silly and cute. 😭
