The most magnificent aspect which encompasses the Entire cosmos is Love. Love does not mean lust. It is worth to be experienced. Until we feel ourselves embraced by the Eternal love, we cannot elaborate it. When Shiva Ji expressed His wish to see the palpable form of love, Narayan went into deep meditation. He opened His eyes and a magnificent ball of light grew in the air. Shiva Ji asked Narayan not to remerge the form within Him selves. The three worlds were stagnated in bliss. They felt the deep love. The form was that of Radha Rani. A special place in Vaikuntha or rather Golok was decided for her.
We see the sun everyday, thus we do not value it. When the clouds or haze smear the ether, we realize the value of sun for a moment. But, the feeling is momentary. Similar case would have happened with Radha Rani. Thus, a divine play was executed for she descended on the land of mortals. After Her birth, Krishna was born. Her birth happened in the late-Tretayuga. Ashtavakra Ji was in his declining years (He was elderly biologically, but youthful within, as He was One). Once He decided to meet Sri Krishna. Radha Rani and Sri Krishna were in Their childhood days, prancing in the trails of Vrindavan. Ashtavakra Ji visited Vrindavan in His eight bended physique (a test was waiting for Radha Rani). Radha Rani was smiling when She saw Ashtavakra Ji. Her smile grew into a chuckling laugh. Ashtavakra Ji gathered His superficial wrath and was about to curse Her, that suddenly Sri Krishna appeared. He asked Him to ask Radha Rani the reason behind the blissful chuckle. Ashtavakra Ji asked Her. She smiled again. Even Her friends began laughing, Krishna was laughing and Ashtavakra Ji was ‘infected’ as well. Sri Krishna asked Ashtavakra Ji about the reason behind His blissful laugh. He smiled again. She replied that She was delighted seeing the purity of His heart. His heart was as pure as that of Krishna. She was ecstatic knowing about a congruent bliss in another being, like that in Krishna and She Herself. Ashtavakra Ji smiled and blessed Her that She would remain in Her beautiful youthful age throughout Her lifetime. The youth is called Kishor, and the feminine form is Kishori. Thus, She is called Kishori.
Her family, viz, Her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, husband and the rest, the villagers were against Her, out of jealousy, but She imparted selfless love to all. She saw Her own reflection in all the beings, but the transcendental purity in Ashtavakra Ji made Her ecstatic. Even, Sri Krishna is complete without Radha Rani.
We often saw that no one loves us. This notion is as false as another notion, which says, ‘there is no air on the earth’. No one can love us, we cannot love our ‘selves’. We can only give, and never expect. Judgement on the grounds of physical and mental statuses must be strictly avoided.
