the story of Bindu sarovara.

One time Radha and Krishna were sitting in a swing and a bumble bee passed by.

When the bee went the goips said "Krishna (black referring to the insect) has gone".

Although sitting besides Him, Radharani felt such intense separation that She started to cry.

Seeing Her, Krishna also started to cry and lake Bimdu sarovara was created from the tears.

I bathed in Bindu-sarovara, lucky me!

the one where Lalita finds out that Radha and Visakha have drown and jumps from a cliff.

How Krishna is a brahmacari. (Gopala tapani Upanisad)

how is Krsna a brahmacari? can you tell us VEDA?

Thats also the question of gopis. ;)

Better if you read it for yourself:

[quote][cite] abhiram:[/cite]mine is when madhumangala dresses as Krsna and starts acting like him, then the Kesi demon comes and kicks him and then krsna punches him in the mouth saying: eat this![/quote]

I have heard this story before only it was Lord Balarama that dressed up as Krsna and got kicked by the Kesi demon. Trying to remember the source. Uhh Veda any help here?

There is one lila where Krishna was wrestling with his fellow gopas and His team loses and he doesnt want to carry the winning gopas on His shoulders. They press Him for a reason why and He finally says to them after some back and forth that he doesnt have to carry anyone because He is God. They ask Him to prove it or carry. He asks them to close their eyes and upon opening them they find themselves in Visnuloka. There they see Krsna as the 4 handed Lord of Vaikuntha. They try to praise him by singing "Jaya Nanda Yasoda Dulal" and are stopped by the Visnudutas for singing "folk" songs instead of vedic hymns. Finally, feeling very uncomfortable and out of place, they call out "Oh Gopal" and Lord Narayana tells them to again close their eyes. Upon opening them they were back in Vrndavana. The cowherd boys then agree to give Krsna a pass but told Him that tomorrow He would have to carry. Krsna agreed to this.

Heard it too but dont know the source either. Usually these details come from Visvanatha Cakravarti. In Brhad Bhagavatamrta 2.6.259 Krsna kicks Kesi.

Where Krishna dresses like Radha and Radha like Krishna, :)
