I have often wondered how Radharani can go to sleep, since she is missing Krishna so much. But last night I read why in a book, and here is the pastime. It starts with Radharani hurrying home after being with Krishna at night so as not to be caught.
Radha, surrounded by Her sakhis, entered Her house unseen and lay down in bed. Feeling intense suffering in separation from Krsna, Radha started crying. Radha, in a voice choked with yearning, opened Her heart to Lalita.
Radha sighed, "O Lalita! You made Me believe that I wouuld meet Krsna and submerge in the nectar ocean of His loving embrace. Enticing Me, You took Me from My house and immediately brought Me back. O sakhi! What fault have I made that has denied Me the ocean of nectar?".
She speaks further of the night before, lamenting now that it is over and unsure whether it actually happened.
Lalita replied, "O Radha! Last night, Your union with Krsna made You study the protocols of nirveda(violating the rules of the scriptures). Now, separation from krsna is making You study the protocols of nirveda(despair). Union with Acyuta made You taste the sweetness of His words, lips and form. But separation tortures You like a deadly poison.
In the rapture of love, Vrsabhanunundini failed to grasp Lalita's words. Radhika, hoping to see Her cherished lord in a dream, lay down and fell asleep.

Re: Why Radharani sleeps.
Tue, July 10, 2007 - 8:31 PMIf it is true that Radharani is truly asleep, in her bed at home after a long renezvous w Krishna......... if she came home exhausted, mind reeling in the madness of why and how and when will i see him again, uncertain as to what reality even was to begin with............. we should let her get some sleep, she must really NEED it!!! Perhaps when she does *awaken, she will have calmed down and be able to see things more clearly, won't be babbling nonsensical questions to Lalita. Course, since one second there is equal to a million years here, i personally cannot wait cuz i'd like to make it to Vrindavan in one of these lifetimes coming up pretty soon. so therefore, does anyone have any loud instruments? Drums, clanging bells etc.? Lets get this kirtana rollin!!! WAKE UP!!!!! -

Wed, July 11, 2007 - 1:32 PMI would rather suffer for the rest of my life waiting for Her to awaken on her own than to disturb one precious moment of Her sleep. Lifetime after lifetime, eternity after eternity. -

Re: Why Radharani sleeps.
Wed, July 11, 2007 - 5:37 PMSaibya I can't believe you would say things like you just did about Srimati Radharani. I FINALLY was able to get some rest myself after all this time thinking that she was unable to sleep. She can only meet with Krishna in Her dreams. I would never wake her. I can think of nothing that would make me happier than to see Her resting as long as She wants. But I think She can't sleep for long before someone comes to wake her up afterwards.
She is NOT mad over Krishna or anything related to Him She is just pretending. LEAVE HER ALONE AND LET HER SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
