CHAPTER 10

THE MASTER WITH THE BRAHMO DEVOTEES (II)

 
Sunday, May 13, 1883.
    The Master paid a visit to the Hari-Bhakti-Pradayini Sabha of Kansharipara, in Calcutta, on the anniversary day of the religious society.

    Kirtan and other forms of devotional music had been arranged for the occasion. The songs centered round the Vrindavan episode of Sri Krishna's life. The theme was Radha's pique because of Sri Krishna's having visited Chandravali, another of the gopis of Vrindavan. Radha's friends tried to console her and said to her: "Why are you piqued? It seems you are not thinking of Krishna's happiness, but only of your own." Radha said to them: "I am not angry at His going to Chandravali's grove. But why should He go there? She doesn't know how to take care of Him."
