Krishna made a storm come up. Trees began to crash down and rain lashed at everything. Krishna clung to his father and pretended to cry in fright.Nanda wanted to take the cows back home, but he could not take care of Krishna and the cows simultaneously. Nor could he leave the boy unattended. It was then that the beautiful Radha arrived there. Nanda entrusted Krishna to Radha's care and took the cows back home. He felt secure in leaving Krishna with Radha since the sage Garga had told him who Radha really was. When Radha and Krishna were alone, Krishna created a wonderful hall with his magical powers. In the hall was dark and handsome youth, dressed in yellow clothing. A peacock feather adorned his forehead and he held a flute in his hand. "My dear, do you remember all that happened in Goloka?" the youth asked. "Why should I forget it, my lord?" replied Radha. "I remember it well." The youth was really Krishna and Brahma now appeared before Radha and Krishna. In Pushkara, Brahma had prayed for sixty thousand years so that he might catch a glimpse of Radha. That wish was now granted to him. After worshipping Radha and Krishna together, Brahma left, and Radha and Krishna enjoyed each other's company. After some time had passed, Krishna returned to the form in which Nanda had left him. A hungry and wailing child stood by Radha's side, and Radha was sad that she had lost sight of her beloved Krishna Reference from the BRAHMAVAIVARTA PURANA, Presented for the pleasure of the Devotees by Arijit Das Comment on this story  Contact VNN about this storySend this story to a friend
