THE MARRIAGE OF VRINDA-DEVI....


"Vrindavana is the land of Vrinda-devi, for She is the queen of all the properties, the proprietor of Vrindavana. In one pastime She offered all of Her kingdom of Vrindavana to the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani. Hence, Sri Radha became known as Vrindavanesvari (the queen of Vrindavana) and Lord Krsna is the actual king.

Appreciating Vrinda-devi's kindness in making wonderful arrangements for Her loving pastimes with Krsna, Srimati Radhika once summoned Lalita-sakhi and Visakha-sakhi and made a plan to reciprocate with Vrinda-devi. Radha and Her friends fashioned a beautiful throne big enough for two people to sit on. Visakha then sat Krsna beside Vrinda-devi. Playing the role of a priest, Lalita-sakhi began chanting the mantras for invoking marriage. Sri Radha personally exchanged the flower garlands between Krsna and Vrinda-devi, and so this wonderful "wedding ceremony" was performed." (SVMP)
