Half God, Half Peacock!

Once upon a time in the land of vraja, Srimati Radha rani became very very angry with Krsna. She was so enraged that she went into isolation.

Krsna went in search of his lady love, only finding her alone in deep forests of Vrindavan. He immediately fell in feet of Srimati Radharani and started apologizing without even knowing what wrong he had done to her. Its said intelligent men never argue with women and immediately apologizes irrespective of the fact whether or not they are at mistake. Krsna was very intelligent and therefore following the age old principle he went on his knees in front of radha rani.

But this time Radha Rani, knowing the reputation and tactics of Krsna didn't yield, instead she started crying inconsolably.

Krsna again went, "Oh! Radha, I hate tears. Don't do this to me. Punish me if it pleases you...."

But Radha Rani was furious, "Oh! You rascal, get out from my sight. I don't want to talk to you, see you and even bear you near my vicinity. You keep breaking my heart over and over again. Go away. Go and play with your friends your beloved gopas and go and get on swings with your girlfriends, the gopis of vraja, why do you need poor radha for. She is no use to you."

And radha rani kept on weeping. All the ornaments on her body went lose and begin to fell on ground.

Krsna tried to charm her over and over again. Sometimes he went and brought her Champa and Jasmine flowers and made beautiful garlands out of it, which Radha rani refused to accept. Other time, he brought her lilies to put it in her hair but instead she opened her long locks so that no flower could stay in there. He even gave away his very dear flute and kept it in her feet but she was not ready to budge.

Every time he tried something he made her more furious and weepy than before.

Being an utter failure he couldn't think of a better plan to bring her out of her sulkiness. It was breaking his heart in million pieces seeing Radha Rani in such desolate condition.

For a while he too went away to think what he could do better. He was definitely not thinking to give up, may it take ethos of time to make her smile again.

Krsna was gone for a while now. Even though Radha rani was crying outwardly but in hearts of hearts it was giving her immense pleasure to have an undivided attention of the most popular boy of Vraj Bhoomi. But now when Krsna was away she felt more lonely and heart broken and it made her weep more. Rivers of tears were flowing from her eyes flooding the forests of Vrindavan.

Suddenly from her weepy eyes she saw an odd looking peacock dancing weirdly.

She rubbed her eyes to have a clear look at that creature.

Mama Mia! It was none other than Krsna disguised as peacock and coming dancing towards Radha rani.

The black blue boy of vraja borrowed feathers from the flock of peacock and pasted it on his body to charm the love of his life.

Radha rani couldn't control herself and burst into laughter. Her innocent child like laughter echoed in the vrindavan. She clapped and forgot that she was angry at Krsna.

Her sulkiness was broken. Earlier she was crying of anger, but now she was crying of laughter. Tears flowing from the outer corners of her eyes on her silky cheeks.

Eventually the beautiful Radha Rani soon joined her beloved in the peacock dance.

This is the Maan-Bhang Leela of sweet past times of srimati radha rani and krsna in the holy dham of vrindavan.

There is still present a temple called maan temple at holy dham of vrindavan that witnessed this leela.

krsna and radha rani dressed up like peacocks.

Happy birthday to Radha rani.

jai ho radha rani ki, jai vrindavaneshvari thakurani ki, jai ho hari priya maharani ki.
