“Vande nandavraja streenaam padarenum abhiskhnasah
yaasaam harikathodgeetam punati bhuvanatrayam”
What a wonderful Satsang, thought Uddhava. He didn’t want to go back, for he thought, Krishna is not in Mathura anymore, he lives in every single house and heart in Brindavan! After a few days, he realizes that Krishna would miss his company – at least to cry out his woes. So let me return!
The return date is announced. That morning, when he was about to ascend his chariot, he was shocked to see that he didn’t have a place to sit!

The return date is announced. That morning, when he was about to ascend his chariot, he was shocked to see that he didn’t have a place to sit!
- One gopi said, ‘I have stacked this corner with ‘murukku’ – Krishna’s favorite. Please give it to him.’
- Another said, ‘I have kept butter in this big box. Krishna loves butter from my home’.
- Yet another, ‘Please give these savories to Krishna and tell Him that I made it especially for him!’ So many items, that he doesn’t have a place to sit.
He falls at the feet of the Gopis yet again, and rolls in the sands of Brindavan and takes all the ‘rajas’ on his body, for, he knows how much Krishna would enjoy the ‘rajas’. On his way back, he recollected every single moment he spent in the company of Gopis and remembered their devotion.
