    Sharad PUrNimA : MahArAs

    Hare KRshNa

    Tonight is Sharad PUrNimA - the best full-moon night in the whole year. Sharad Rtu (autumn season) is known for this special autumn full-moon. Hence KRshNa determined that His grand MahArAs - the circle of dance, will take place/commence on this night.

    It is the night to watch the moon outdoors, getting together and sipping warm-hot sweet spiced milk (saffron-elaichi), and of course remembering KRshNa and the Gopis.

    This is the beautiful famous Gopi Geet - the Gopi's sang these verses glorifying KRshNa when He disappeared from among them just before the rAs dance.

    (Gopi Geet = Shrimad BhAgvatam Canto 10 Chapter 31)

    SB 10.31.1
    gopya ūcuḥ
    jayati te 'dhikaḿ janmanā vrajaḥ
    śrayata indirā śaśvad atra hi
    dayita dṛśyatāḿ dikṣu tāvakās
    tvayi dhṛtāsavas tvāḿ vicinvate

    The gopīs said: O beloved, Your birth in the land of Vraja has made it exceedingly glorious, and thus Indirā, the goddess of fortune, always resides here. It is only for Your sake that we, Your devoted servants, maintain our lives. We have been searching everywhere for You, so please show Yourself to us.
    ...
    here are some of the beautiful verses:

    SB 10.31.4: na khalu gopīkā-nandano bhavān
    akhila-dehinām antarātma-dṛk
    vikhanasārthito viśva-guptaye
    sakha udeyivān sātvatāḿ kule

    You are not actually the son of the gopī Yaśodā, O friend, but rather the indwelling witness in the hearts of all embodied souls. Because Lord Brahmā prayed for You to come and protect the universe, You have now appeared in the Sātvata dynasty.

    SB 10.31.5: viracitābhayaḿ vṛṣṇi-dhūrya te
    caraṇam īyuṣāḿ saḿsṛter bhayāt
    kara-saroruhaḿ kānta kāma-daḿ
    śirasi dhehi naḥ śrī-kara-graham

    O best of the Vṛṣṇis, Your lotuslike hand, which holds the hand of the goddess of fortune, grants fearlessness to those who approach Your feet out of fear of material existence. O lover, please place that wish-fulfilling lotus hand on our heads.

    Gopi Geet - Narayan Maharaj

    Finally,

    MahAraas - KRshNa and Gopis dance as the devtAs watch from above and shower flowers, Gandharvas play mRdung, apsaras dance. (SUBTITLED)

    Jai Radhe

    in service of the devotees
