9#13d. கங்கையும், ராதையும்

தண்ணீரிலிருந்து தோன்றியவள் கங்கை;
தண்ணீரிலேயே மறைந்து போய்விட்டாள்!

நதி நீரை அள்ளிக் குடிக்க முயன்றாள் ராதை;
நதி நீர் மறைந்தது கிருஷ்ணின் திருவடிகளில்.

தேடினாள் கங்கையை எங்கெங்கும் ராதை!
வாடினாள் நீர்வாழ் ஜந்துக்கள் இறந்ததால்!

நீரின்றி வாடினர் தேவர்கள், மனிதர்கள்,
நாகர், முனிவர், மும்மூர்த்தியர், மனுக்கள்.

துதித்தனர் கிருஷ்ண பரமாத்மாவை ஒன்றாக.
தோன்றினான் பரமாத்மா பற்பல ரூபங்களில்!

அறிய முடியவில்லை பிரம்மனால் பகவானை!
பிரியத்தோடு தொழுதான் இதயத்தில் உள்ளவனை!

உலகம் உய்ய வேண்டும்! விசாலம். K. ராமன்

9#13d. Radha and Ganga (4)

Having spoken thus, the red-lotus eyed RAdhA began to rebuke GangA who was sitting by the side of KrishNa with Her head bent low out of shame.

At this time GangA, a Siddha Yogini, disappeared from the assembly assuming Her own form as water. Another Siddha Yogini RAdhA became ready to drink the whole water in one sip.

GangA, took refuge and entered into KrishNA’s feet. Then RAdhA began searching for GangA everywhere.

First She searched in Goloka, Vaikuntha and BrahmA-loka. Then she searched for Ganga in all the Lokas one by one but no where did She find GangA. There was no water anywhere in Goloka!

All the water bodies dried up and all the aquatic animals died and lay scattered on the dry ground. BrahmA, VishNu, Siva, Ananta, Dharma, Indra, Moon, Sun, Manus, Munis, Siddhas, ascetics all became very thirsty and their throats became parched.

They then went to Goloka, and bowed down with devotion to Krishna paramAtma. They began to sing his hymns. They were filled with intense devotion and tears of love flowed from their eyes! Their bodies were filled with ecstasy and their hairs stood on their roots.

Manus, Munis, and the ascetics all bowed down to Krishna BhagavAn no sooner they beheld Him. BrahmA was given the task of communicating their feelings to KrishNa BhagavAn.
