Maharas leela is an extensive leela of Radha Krishn and the Gopis that revealed all the aspects of Divine love during Their singing, dancing and playing near Kalindi in Vrindaban. About 5,000 years ago this leela had happened on this earth planet when, on a particular Sharad Poornima night, Shree Krishn Divinely extended the length of that night to about 180 times, and, all the time, uncountable milions of Gopis ceaselessly danced and played with Him. They were so engrossed in that Bliss that that length of time felt very little to them.
Radha and Krishn were in the center of the field of maharas and Lalita etc. Gopis were around Them. This pad is the description of a small section of the first part of the maharas leela when Radha Rani revealed the Bliss of the maan and pranaya state of Divine love.)
Radha Krishn are outpouring the supreme Bliss of raas in Vrindaban.
With uncountable Gopis of Braj, on the Sharad Poornima night, Shree Krishn is playing soul-catching notes on His flute.
Hearing that, gyani Saints abandoned their relishment of the Divine sound, anahad nad, and relinquished their samadhi state, considering them to be an obstacle in the enjoyment of the sound of Krishn's flute.
Radha and Krishn are Both singing and dancing, and, at the same time, They are also doing the Divine leelas of intimate nature.
(Suddenly, during the movement of the dance as They come close together, Their adornments entangled and They came to a standstill). That side, Krishn's ear ornament got entangled with the tresses of Radha Rani, and on this side, Radha's besar with Krishn's got entangled with Krishn's vanmala.
This rejoiced halt thrilled Their hearts, and Both, Lal and Lali, (standing very close,) are unentangling each other's ornament with Their hands.
(Krishn's peetambar had slipped down from His chest during this period and so, the natural shiny glow of Krishn's body showed the reflection of Radha's face on it as Her face was quite close to His chest.) When Radha noticed the female figure on Krishn's body (out of Her extreme innocent lovingness) She considered it to be some other woman, and then She did maan.
Lali Radha became irritated. She moved away and sat at another place, holding Her chin on Her palm and arching Her eyebrows in anger.
"(Krishn had no clue of this sudden happening. He thought probably some of His actions might have annoyed Her.) So, taking Lalita with Him, Krishn comes to Radha and, with folded hands and tears in His eyes and with a trembling heart, He propitiates Her to be appeased."
Radha moved Her body, and turning Her face to the other side, She angrily says, "Holding some other woman in Your heart You are again coming to me."
Perplexed, Giridhar Krishn is in a fix. He doesn't know what to do now. With trickling tears, He is simply standing. (Lalita had to think fast. She discovered that shiny glow of Krishn's bodv holds the reflection of the person standing close by. She thought that Radha would have seen the faint outline of Her own face on Krishn's chest and would have thought that Krishn was dancing with Her and remembering some other woman in His heart, and that could be the reason of Her maan.)
(Knowing this, she quickly took off her choonari.) With the help of Lalita, Krishn used her pink choonari to hide the glow of His body.
Radha, looking sidelong to Krishn (and not seeing that image again), felt happy. She smiled, got up, and lovingly hugged Her beloved Krishn.
