I Lost Everything Even My Radha

We always pray to God for us, our family, friends. We share our pain with them probably looking for a solution. 

But have you ever imagined the pain they felt? They have gone through. We always think, they are God, the Almighty, they can do everything. But have we thought they have boundaries too; they can't be selfish. Before thinking about self, they think about us, every being, the universe. They can change things in a snap but before that they have to think 100 times how it affects many other and the way things should work. 

This started when I visited the Jagnnath temple in Puri, Odisha, one of the chardhaams, the temple having way too many mysterious happening, with the unique of all, Lord Jagannath. 

My hometown is 60-80km far from here, so its the most visited place.

But that day, instead of praying or asking something, I just was looking at him and tears started rolling down my eyes. I realised I wasn't sad at that time. But then why did this happen? Why the tears out if nowhere?

I realised I felt for someone else, the one who is the Lord of universe. As he is the Krishna, he is the Rama, he is Narayan, so the life of Krishna reflected there.

Krishna was Narayan himself but he couldn't control the pain he had to go through. We complain, cry everyday thinking we are the one going through a bad phase. But just think the Lord himself went through hell.

He was born in a family where his own Uncle wanted to kill him even when he was not entered the earth. His mother and father were tortured in prison. His elder siblings were killed brutally. 

The only love he knew since eternity was Radha. He loved her as Sita in Tretaya Yug, she has been his Lakshmi since forever. She was his comfort, love of his life. They were born to teach unconditional love. Yet he lost her to another man to prove Dharm is above everything, even above love. Radha & Krishna's love was so deep and pure that no one could have imagined. But before Krishna's lover, she was someone's daughter. So being a good daughter was her first responsibility.

To protect his father's respect, she married someone else. Do you think its easy to see your love marrying someone else??

He had to, to teach us love, dharma and power of karma. His intentions were not just limited to being loved or spreading love.

He was here to prove that sometimes when we are doing for the right cause, playing smart is important, not abiding by rules is important.

In the process of teaching all this, he lost a lot. His siblings, love, killed his uncle, played important role in the greatest war of the lifetime, got cursed, lost his Dwarika and his people, lost his life when he was all alone and having an excruciating pain. 

So, whoever is reading this, never give up. If God had to go through so much even after being the superior being, we are lucky that he saved us from a lot of things.
