Radha Krishna Holi Celebration

More about this lovable image:

Radha aur Krishna ka sambandh aatma aur parmatma ka prateek hai, jo prem ki sabse uunchi aur pavitra paribhasha hai. Yeh sirf do alag-alag devi-devta nahi hain, balki ek hi astitva ke do roop hain. Bhagwan Krishna, jinko hum 'Shyam Sundar' ya 'Natkhat Nandlal' ke naam se jaante hain, woh prem, gyaan, aur leela ke saagar hain. Unka charitra behad anokha hai - ek taraf woh Mahabharat mein Arjun ko Geeta ka gyaan dete hain, toh doosri taraf Vrindavan ki galiyon mein Gopiyon ke saath raas leela karte hain. Unke honthon par hamesha ek halki si muskaan rehti hai, jo unke bhakton ko aashvast karti hai ki woh har paristhiti mein unke saath hain. Unke sar par laga mor pankh unke saundarya aur divyata ko aur badhaata hai, aur unki bansuri ki dhun mein toh poora brahmand sama jaata hai. Vahin doosri or, Radha Rani hain, jo prem aur samparpan ki murti hain. Unhe Krishna ki 'Hladini Shakti' kaha jaata hai, yaani woh shakti jo Krishna ko bhi anand deti hai. Radha ka prem nishchhal aur bina kisi shart ka hai. Woh Krishna ki sabse badi bhakt hain, lekin unka sthan bhakt se kahin upar hai. Woh Krishna ki aatma hain. Unke bina, Krishna adhoore hain. Isiliye bhakt hamesha 'Radhe Krishna' ka jaap karte hain, Radha ka naam pehle lete hain kyunki unki bhakti se hi Krishna tak pahunchne ka maarg milta hai. Holi ka tyohar toh unke isi divya prem ka jashn hai. Yeh unki leelaon, unke hasi-mazaak, aur unke anant prem ka rangin utsav hai, jo har bhakt ko yaad dilata hai ki ishwar tak pahunchne ka sabse saral aur sundar raasta prem ka hi hai.

Yeh tasveer ek adbhut aur jeevant drishya pesh karti hai, jismein ek yuva joda Radha aur Krishna ke divya roop mein Holi ka tyohar mana raha hai. Baayin taraf Krishna bane yuvak ka chehra camera ki taraf hai aur uspar ek manmohak muskaan hai. Usne upar kuch nahi pehna hai, jo uski saralta aur prakriti se jude roop ko darshata hai. Usne ek chamkeela peela dhoti (pitambar) pehna hua hai, aur uski kamar par ek laal aur sunhare rang ka kapda (sash) bandha hai. Uski kamar par ek sone ka patta (belt) bhi hai. Uske sir par ek peeli pagdi hai, jismein ek sundar mor pankh laga hai, jo Krishna ke pehchaan ka abhinn ang hai. Usne gale mein, baazuon par aur kalaiyon par bhari sunhare gehne pehne hain, jo uske rajsi swaroop ko ujagar karte hain. Uske haath mein ek lakdi ki bansuri hai, jisse woh poori duniya ko mohit karte hain. Daayin taraf, Radha bani yuvti khushi se Krishna ki taraf dekhkar muskura rahi hai. Usne ek shaandaar laal rang ka lehenga aur choli pehna hai, jispar sone ki baareek kadhai ka kaam hai. Uske sir par ek patla laal dupatta hai. Usne bhi gale mein choker, naak mein nathni aur haathon mein dher saari laal choodiyan pehni hain. Uska baayan haath hawa mein uncha utha hua hai aur woh mutthi bhar kar gulabi rang ka gulal hawa mein uda rahi hai. Yeh gulal ka baadal unke chaaron taraf ek jaadui aur rangin mahaul bana raha hai. Zameen bhi usi gulabi rang ke gulal se dhaki hui hai. Unke peeche park ke hare-bhare ped hain jo dhundhle (out-of-focus) hain, jisse saara dhyaan sirf is divya jodi par hi rehta hai. Roshni bilkul natural aur soft hai, jo is poore drishya ko ek behad celebratory aur romantic anubhav deti hai.

Radha-Krishna ka prem aur Holi ka tyohar ek doosre se gehrai se jude hue hain. Pauranik kathaon ke anusaar, rangon se Holi khelne ki shuruat hi Krishna ne ki thi. Kaha jaata hai ki baal-avastha mein Krishna apni maa Yashoda se aksar shikayat karte the ki unka rang Radha ki tarah gora kyun nahi hai. Unka rang toh shyam (savla) tha. Is par Yashoda maa ne haskar unse kaha ki woh jaakar Radha ko jis rang mein chahein, uss rang se rang dein. Natkhat Krishna ne isi baat ko sach maan liya aur apni pichkari aur rangon ke saath Radha aur unki saheliyon (gopiyon) ko rangne ke liye Barsana pahunch gaye. Yeh unki prem bhari chhed-chhad dheere-dheere ek utsav ban gayi aur aaj poore Braj kshetra mein Lathmar Holi ke roop mein prasiddh hai. Ismein Nandgaon (Krishna ka gaon) ke purush Barsana (Radha ka gaon) aate hain aur Barsana ki mahilayein unhe laathiyon se maarti hain, aur purush dhal se apna bachav karte hain. Yeh sab ek khel aur utsav ke roop mein hota hai, jo Radha-Krishna ki usi purani leela ko yaad dilata hai. Darshanik roop se, Holi ka yeh rang lagana saare bhedbhav mitane ka prateek hai. Jab har koi rangon mein rang jaata hai, toh kaun gora, kaun kaala, kaun ameer, kaun gareeb, iska koi matlab nahi reh jaata. Yeh tyohar aatmik shuddhi ka bhi sandesh deta hai, jahan hum apni buraiyon ko Holika ki aag mein jalakar, prem aur sadbhavna ke naye rangon se apne jeevan ko bharte hain. Radha-Krishna ka prem bhi yahi sikhata hai - prem mein koi bhedbhav, koi ahankar nahi hota, sirf samparpan aur anand hota hai.
