Pre-Story
The love and devotion of Radha towards Krishna is legendary across every
household of India. Radha’s true love represents Jeevathma (Soul) to
reach the Paramathma (God). Krishna is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu,
who had to grow up in Gokula due to the threat of Kamsa.
Kamsa tries to eliminate Krishna by various means, but fails.
Gokula loves Krishna and worships him as he protects them every
time from Kamsa’s threats. Meanwhile, Radha’s love grows towards
Krishna.
Story-line
Scene 1:
Poet Pu. Ti. Narasimhachar narrates how he imagined Krishna’s magical
melody from his flute. He
starts writing his poetry while dancers perform his poems. Gopikas
(Cow-herd girl) get
attracted to Krishna’s flute music. Gopalakas
(Cow-herd boys) rush
to meet Krishna and BalaRaama to play with them. Listening to Krishna’s
music, mothers forget their babies and wives forget their husbands, will
be dragged towards the celestial music.
Scene 2:
Radha is searching for Krishna in Brindavana with her friend. Krishna
also searches for Radha with his friend. Both of them meet and their
friends leave them in privacy. Radha doubts Krishna’s love as Krishna
approaches her with all the love and affection. Radha & Krishna dance
and sing. Meanwhile, all
the Gopis and Gopalakas arrive and perform raas-nrithya with ecstasy.
Scene 3:
Radha, Krishna, Gopis and Gopalakas continue their dance until Radha
hears that her parents are coming in search of her. Radha runs and hides
from her parents. When Krishna and his friends are unable to search
Radha and he stops playing flute.
Krishna sits in gloom.
Meanwhile, Akroora arrives from Mathura requests Krishna to come
and defeat the evil king Kamsa. Krishna’s call of responsibility takes
over the call of love. Krishna leaves his music with people of Gokula
and leaves the town. Radha rushes to stop Krishna’s departure from
Gokula but it was too late. She will be left with his flute.
Radha sobs and feels that the flute is just a piece of bamboo
without Krishna’s breath. She finds peace with the call of the flute
from her own heart and worships Krishna forever. |
