Yugala Milana

Because Govinda-līlāmrita, Kṛṣṇa-bhāvanāmṛta and Kṛṣṇahnika-kaumudī have not described Rādhā Kṛṣṇa's yugala milana in the late afternoon, it is only natural that mañjarī bhāva sadhakas search for other references. Seeing Rādhārani suffering for want of Śyāma and Śyāma downtrodden for want of Śrīmati causes the mañjarīs to feel headaches! This is when Anandamaya Vṛndāvana turns into an abode of sorrow! So what can be done?

To begin with, the Gutṭkā provides solace by offering some līlā narrations dealing with Rādhā Kṛṣṇa's sambhoga rasa in the late afternoon. There is described that Śrīmati Rādhārani spends six months of the year at her father's house at Varṣānā. Coincidentally, Kṛṣṇa's uttara Goṣṭha or return from the pasture passes through Vṛṣabhānu-pura instead of Yāvaṭa during this time. Thus, without the strict vigil of Jaṭilā and Kutila, there is plenty of scope for Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa to experience madhura milana.

It is hard to forget the beauty of Varṣānā. As those who have taken the long walk along Varṣānā's parikramā path from Bāanu-khora to Mayūra Kuṭira, Kṛṣṇa Kuṇḍa, Māna Kuṭira, Śrī Gopalajī's mandira, Rādhā's garden and Śrījī's mandir will know, this picturesque setting is most congenial for Yugala Kiśora's prema keli. 

In fact, Brahmā himself has become this hilly tract of numerous peaks, valleys and caves, covered in forests of bending desire trees, latās and enchanting flower-gardens. So, as the bhaktas can forget themselves when walking through this heavenly atmosphere today, it is inconceivable how much wonder awaits them when Varṣānā's nitya cintāmaṇi panorama opens to them through divine revelation.
Rādhā tells her father, "Bābā! I'm going to pick flowers for the sandhyā-pūjā. Lalitā and the others are coming along." 

Vriṣabhānu Bābā replies, "All right, Lālī! Go ahead. Just be sure to return before dark."
As Rādhā leaves the house with her Sakhīs, her parents remain unsuspecting, owing to their pure vātsalya affection. Rādhā's mind, however, races to Govinda's lotus feet, and as the sound of his mooing cows nears the village, who is there to stop the natural course of events that will happen next?
