Bhagavan api ta ratihi, sharad utphulla mallika

Veeksha rantrum manas chakre

Yoga Mayam upashritaha

​

On that beautiful Autumn night in the month of Sharad, when the forest flowers were blooming in joy, Krishna decides it is now time to grant the Gopikas their wish. He takes on the powers of  Yoga Maya to manifest Rasa Lila.

 

Venu gana Rasika, Venu gana rasika

Bhanu gopa nandini pada renu sparsha jada phulaka

Asamaye vamshinaalam, adhara pute vinivesha

Asamaana sundari Radha ahwayathi, Ratim uddishye

 

The Gopis are immersed in the music of Krishna's flute. Krishna walks through Vrindavan; he sees Radha's delicate footprints on the ground and he longs for her. Krishna's flute rests like a decoration against his sweet lips as the melody sways through the breeze in the night hours. He calls out to Radha though his flute, eagerly anticipating her arrival and her love.
