My Vrindavan Trip

We all know that Shri Krishna is the most powerful Leeladhar. This incident occurred when I was unable to determine whether it was a Leela or an illusion. Now, without further debate, let me tell you my story.

After so many appeals to my parents, I finally got the chance to visit Vrindavan, but I had no idea what was going to happen…

Something was about to happen there, but I’m not sure if it was an illusion or not….

So the story begins with my first visit to Vrindavan Dham…

As soon as we set foot on Vrindavan’s holy ground, the sound of Radhe Radhe began to fill my ears. While chanting Shri Radhe-Radhe we could feel divine power coming from all directions.

In Radha Krishna’s dham Vrindavan, my family and I were standing outside the Banke Bihari temple at a distance while the elders went shopping for pooja/worship materials and we children were left alone at a distance from the temple.

My sister and two brothers were on the list of children along with me. Following their departure, my brothers went for a stroll nearby and my sister received a call so she went a short distance away to answer it. As I was the only one left standing there, I began to think about Banke Bihari ji as I stood there alone looking at the temple.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of an attractive young man in front of me. At first, I thought he was staring at someone else, but it turned out that he was staring at me! My eyes were rolling, but he drew closer and said, “Listen!”

First, I ignored him because I thought he was alone. But he repeated himself, “Listen!”

I said yes in a low voice because I was sure he was talking to me this time.

After that, he asked me this strange question , “Where can I find BankeBihari ji?”

Hearing this made me feel very strange. Were you aware that he was coming from the temple and was still asking, “Where is BankeBihari?” So, I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t sure what to say.

“Tell me, na! “ he repeated. I need to know where to find Bankebihari ji.

After hearing the question over and over again, I finally told him, “you are coming from the temple only where he lives, so why are you asking about him in the first place?”

When he heard this, he laughed and started saying –

“There’s a living idol there! The only Banke Bihari ji I found was his idol in Vrindavan where I had heard he lived in reality. But where is he now? This is the only reason I came here to see him!”

Then he went silent.

What will the answer be for a Krishna devotee who has been praying for a long time to come to Vrindavan? Please, tell me!

Well, I gave him the same answer that you might have given if you had been in my position!

I confidently answered him that, “Krishna is seen through the heart’s eyes, not the body’s.”

Then, he smiled and asked, “Have you ever seen him with your heart’s eye?

Having no idea what to say, I blurted out “I can feel him!!” in a hurry.

“I’m talking about seeing him in real life, Madam!” he exclaimed.

This was the first time I’d ever done this, I grabbed the boy’s hand and started walking, but as soon as I grabbed his hand! Strange sensations arose within me. I quickly jerked his hand and turned to face him, staring into his eyes.

When I looked into his eyes, it was as if I’d seen them before. Those eyes seemed to be looking at me in a way that I could relate to.

I was mesmerized by his eyes.

Hearing his voice brought me back to reality.

As he began to speak, “oh my gosh, where are you? Is that where you’re taking me? You just grabbed my hand without saying a word!”

When I heard this, I blushed and began walking alone without saying a single word.

I heard him say from behind: “Do I have to come with you, Madam?”

There was a smile on my face and I stopped moving after hearing this. Then he joined me and we walked together.

What was going on with me at the time? I have no idea why my eyes kept returning to him. He, too, had a light grin on his face.

Soon We arrived near the temple, but there was a large crowd.

“Why are you bringing me back here? This place is becoming increasingly crowded.”, I asked.

“I know a way that is not crowded!” he exclaimed as I stared at the crowd.

However, I was still staring at the crowd standing still, wondering…should I go with an unknown boy!

I couldn’t stop thinking about it. My hand was grabbed by him, and he began to walk while holding it.

Then he turned back to me and chuckled and said ,”There are no kidnapping going on here, Madam. I’m just taking you to your Kanha and no one else!”

And he grinned at me.

He began walking forward while holding my hand.

Talking to boys is not my favorite pastime.

I’m not a fan of modern love and people.

I didn’t had a clue why I continued to walk with him in silence. Why was I drawn to him? His touch created a feeling of affinity in me.

Instead of looking around, I focused on him as I walked.

However, after losing myself in my thoughts for quite a while, suddenly I realized that he had brought me behind the Banke Bihari temple’s (garbhgrah).

Me and him were the only ones in the room at the time.

Afterwards, he told me: “You wanted to bring me here! We’re here… “The idol is on the front, but where is your Banke Bihari ji?!?”

When I heard his words, I looked around me as if I had woken up from a deep sleep, then I looked at him and said ,”Please close your eyes and place your hand on your heart as you lose yourself in the temple’s atmosphere. You will definitely see Kanha!! “

“I can’t hear or feel anything,” the boy says as he closes his eyes and places his hand on his chest.

“You must have felt your heartbeat at the very least!” I asked him.

“Oohoo… I said no na! If you don’t believe me, then listen to my heartbeat with your own,” he said.

Then I placed my head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat, and I was surprised to see that he was telling the truth as I looked into his eyes.

As I watched the events unfold, I was shocked!

When I listened to his heartbeat, I heard the sound of Radhe-Radhe, instead of Dhak-Dhak. Back to my old self I went, trembling with terror.

I began yelling out loud.

“I’m hearing ‘Radhe-Radhe’ and it’s in your heart”

“You’ve gone mad”, he said laughing.

I told him I wanted to hear it again.

But he interrupted me by saying, “Keep your distance, I know I look nice but that doesn’t mean you’ll get any closer. Do not take any chances with me because I’m an honorable and decent young man.”

After saying this, he began to laugh.

Next, I couldn’t figure out what to say so I made an angry face.

He started laughing again when he saw my face and said, “Don’t worry, I’m just kidding! Well then, let’s get out of here before someone else comes and punishes us.”

However, the echoes of his heartbeat, Radhe-Radhe, still played in my ears as I agreed.

While I was following him, I was thinking about that sound. We took a different route out of the temple and found no one there.

I was suddenly stopped by someone who said, “Will you continue to walk with me, Madame?”

I blushed and began walking to the other side of the street.

“But you haven’t introduced me to your Banki Bihari ji yet!” he yelled from behind .

As soon as I turned around after hearing this, I saw that no one was there. Not even a single person..

That’s how I found out. “ Not me, however my Bankebihari ji, must have been found.
