RADHA BHAV IN BARSANA

  

 

                               Sri Radha Vrishabhanu-Nandini

  In this blessed abode of Radha, the nature created here by Brahma

is unlike the nature of his other gross creations for, in Barsana, the creation

exists by Radha's sweet desire, by her realization.  According to scriptures, 

Sri Radhaby her grace, to fulfill the joy of the Supreme, manifested herself as 

  Vrishabhanu Nandani in the village of Barsana, thereby blessing the family 

  of her father Vrisha bhanu and her mother Kirti.

 The glory of Radha which exists in the symbolic significance 

 of this village and in her remembrance by its residents is a very rare 

 phenomenon.  Each person of the village of Barsana has some special

 feeling towards Radha which is so inborn, so strong and so spontaneous

in its understanding of hidden spiritual mysteries, that those who are not

spiritually aware are unable to grasp the nature of this special insight.  

While small children may realize themselves as her sister, and young

boys may realize themselves as her brother, older women realize 

themselves as her mother, while men realize themselves as her father.  

These sentiments have no relation with their physical families, but exists

and depend entirely on Radha's Grace which has so drenched her 

village of Barsana.
