Shri Krishna Janmashtami

Today, on shraavaN vad aaTham as we celebrate Shri Krishna janma - Janmashtami, I was thinking of all of the stories that I have heard/read about Shri Krishna bhagwan.

Then I remembered a story that I read in Shri Radhavatar a few years ago. Once Shri Radhaji goes to a mela (funfair) with her friends. That is also the same place where she first meets Rukmani and other wives of Shri Krishna. It happens so that Rukmani and the other queens had heard of Radha and her love for Shri Krishna and got jealous of her before they met her. On meeting, during one incident, Radha mistakenly drinks extremely hot milk and her mouth gets burned by it. A few days later when the queens of Shri Krishna return back home and meet Him, they see that His feet have burned because of coming in contact with something very hot. And they find out that when Radhaji drank the hot milk, it passed by and burned her heart along with the holy feet of Shri Krishna that reside there as well. All the queens regretted for being jealous when they realized how divine Radha's love was for Shri Krishna.

I got tears in my eyes when I read this story. It is such a beautiful story!

Jai Shri Radhe-Krishna.

Jai Shri Krishna.

Child Bear - A Pet Shop? Yeah Right!

I am guessing this is somewhere in India. After looking at the picture, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It is a "sarkaari thanDi beer ki dukaan". That explains it.
