ANOTHER RED HOLI

Radha Pyari sports with Nandadulala, Their gold and sapphire colored bodies turn red. Syama’s sweet murali, silken turban and crest of peacock feather turns red too. All the clothes and jeweled necklaces of the gopis also turn red. Rai Kisori and Nandalal are throwing palmfuls of red powder and squirting streams of flower rasa from Their pickaris. Hence, the gopis, the Yamuna and its bank, the kunja vana, the trees, flowers and bees, all turn red. Seeing the male and female parrots, cuckoos and peacocks turning red too, Uddhava das sings this sweet song.
