Kalindi is another name of river yamuna. She is the daughter of sun god and sister of yamraj the god of death. She in the form of a beautiful women is one of the eight important wives of bhagwan Krishna. Krishna used to love playing and bathing in yamuna everday. He used to follow the gopis ,the damsels of Vrindavan to tease them and have fun by breaking their earthen pot which they used to fill with water from the river yamuna for their household use. Yamunaji was alwas overjoyed to see Krishna play on its banks and enjoyed watching his childhood pranks. There were a great number of kadamb trees on its banks under which Radha Krishna use to talk for hours, sometimes Kanha would play the flute and Radhaji who was so mesmorised by the sweet notes of the flute would keep on standing in front of him like a statue for many hours. On one such occasion the damsels who had come to fill their pots with water saw this wonderful scene and this is how they were discussing the whole scene.
I SAKHI- Sakhi today yamuna ji seems to be overjoyed and is flowing as if it is dancing. Oh how lovely it is looking
II SAKHI- yes, and look how the wind is tossing its waves. It seems the wind is hand in glove with yamuna to enchant the pair.
III SAKHI- See it has started drizzling and the tiny drops of rain are making such lovely circles in the water of yamuna. Oh sakhi isn’t it a beautiful sight
IV SAKHI- Now look at the black clouds which have spread around making the scene so lovely. Also see the trees on the banks of the yamuna , their shadows seem to be swaying in a dancing posture.

I SAKHI- Look at the creepers ,bushes, and trees of Vrindavan. They are looking so thrilled at being washed by the rain after the heat and dust of summer. It seems they are enjoying bathing in the rain.

The peacock , the nightingale, the swans , the pigions all are making such lovely sounds that it looks like a band of orchestra has come to Vrindavan.to be a part of pleasure for the divine pair Radha Krishna.
