Radha and Syamasundara reunited

During those days another unprecedented incident took place.

One night Syamasundara appeared in Sri Syamananda Prabhu’s dream and told him,

“My Radharani has appeared in the palace of the King of Bharatpur. Bring Her here and unite Us.”

At the same time, Srimati Radharani had appeared in the treasury of the King of Bharatpur in the form of a small deity of a girl and in a dream said to the King:

“Dear King, My Syamasundara became manifested in the grove in Vrindavan. He is my eternal groom. Arrange My marriage with Him.”

The very fortunate King came to Vrindavan with his Queen and ministers and on the Vasanta Pancami day of 1580 AD he performed the marriage of Srimati Radharani and Sri Syamasundara with great pomp.

After the marriage the King built the present temple and gave the village Chatikara[1] for the service of the Deity. In those days, the King of Jaipur also donated the village Syamali[2].

During the life of Syamananda all these transcendental pastimes happened one after another and therefore with the consent of all Jiva Gosvami awarded him the title “Prabhu.”

[1] Chatikara, or Sakatikara, is a village near Vrindavana. In this place many of Krishna’s pastimes took place. The Garuda Govinda lila is one of the best known.

[2] The expenses of the service to the Deities would be paid by the taxes of the citizens.
