Food offering to Shri Radha Krishna (Meaning)

I sacrifice myself on the scene of Shri Radha-Krishna partaking food. The divine couple is seated on a sandalwood stool which is studded with precious gems. The gopis artistically place golden bowls in a golden platter. In these bowls they serve a huge variety of most delicious food of all six flavors. After getting the food platter ready, with folded hands they request the divine couple to start eating.

Beloved Krishna lovingly feeds Radha Rani, and Radha Rani feeds Her Beloved with Her own hands with a great pleasure and amusement. A group of gopis is singing 'bhog' in their melodious voices, accompanied by various musical instruments.

Shri 'Kripatu' Ji says that who will not sacrifice his life without any choice as the price for watching this spectacular divine scene?
