Radha-Govinda dasi (ACBSP), Middle East: Hare Krsna All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Srimati Radharani, Who, is Madan-Mohan-Mohani and Vrndavanesvari. May Srimati Radharani’s mercy be upon us, on this, Her Appearance Day. Please accept my fallen obeisances. Jatila and Kutila were preventing Srimati Radhika from going to see Krsna, thus, Both Srimati Radharani and Krsna were suffering from extreme separation. Krsna to remedy the situation, thought of a way for Srimati Radharani to meet Him. Thus, Krsna pretended to get bitten by a snake, developed a high fever, and it was thought Krsna would die. Paurnamasi, (Who is considered to be the Guru of Vrndavan), when asked how to cure Krsna of His fever explained that the only remedy would be if a purely chaste woman with one-pointed love for her beloved, could bring a pot of water from the Yamuna to Krsna and give him bath with such water, but this water could only be brought in a pot with 100 holes in it, with not a single drop of water being spilled from the pot. Jatila and Kutila, who considered themselves to be the most chaste women in Vrndavan, and were always calling the gopis names (especially accusing Srimati Radharani) for Their rendezvous with Krsna, were both very proud of their chastity. Thus Kutila said that she would do it, proudly announcing, “None of the ladies in Vrndavan are as chaste as my mother and I. Since I am younger than my mother, I will bring the water. So all the Vrajavasis accompanied Kutila to the Yamuna, where she immersed the pot into the Yamuna, and as soon as she began to lift out the pot, the water immediately started emptying out from the holes. While everyone was laughing, Jatila was able to disappear in her worry that she would be next, and might not succeed. Jatila going to a secluded place, formed a pot with 50 holes, and tried to draw water from the Yamuna in this pot, but as with Kutila, her pot quickly emptied of the water, despite its having only half the amount of holes. (At least she was saved from the embarrassment of the Vrajavasis seeing the result.) The Vrajavasis looked for Jatila, but she was nowhere to be found, as she had hidden herself. Purnamasi then said, “We must do something, or else Krsna will die. The only person Who can help save Krsna’s life is Radharani. It is She Who has this power of chastity. We must ask Her to help. When the Vrajavasis asked Srimati Radhika’s assistance, She replied, “Oh, this I cannot do. Jatila and Kutila are always criticising me for being unchaste. In fact, they call me ‘prostitute,’ so how can I possibly do this?” Purnamasi then said to Jatila and Kutila, “You must tell Radharani to do this. If She doesn’t help, Krsna will die, and if Krsna dies, so will Nanda, and Yasoda. I will also die. If we die, both of you will be responsible.” So Jatila and Kutila fell at the feet of Srimati Radharani, and begged Her to please go to the Yamuna, fill the pot of 100 holes with water, and bring it to Krsna. Thus, Srimati Radharani on the begging of Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law did as She was petitioned, went to the Yamuna and filled the pot. Putting this pot on Her head, She went all the way to Nandagoan, where Krsna was lying ill with fever, with not a drop of water spilling out from the pot, and bathed Krsna with the Yamuna waters from Her Lotus Hands. tapta kancana gaurange radhe vrndavanisvari vrsabhanu sute devi pranamami hari priye May Srimati Radharani, Who gives Krsna all pleasure, be pleased with us. May She bestow Her mercy upon us, and offer us to Her Beloved’s Lotus Feet. May we be safely situated under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada’s Lotus Feet, Those of our Guru Varga, the Vaisnavas, and Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. Your servant, Dasi, B. Radha-Govinda Hare Krsna
