The episode of “Radha Mohan” aired on 4th September 2024, is a heartwarming and eventful celebration of Janmashtami.
The story begins with Ajeet expressing happiness after many years, attributing this joy to Lord Krishna’s blessings. Ketki agrees but mentions she misses Rahul. Just then, Rahul makes a surprise entrance, bringing immense joy to Ketki, who hugs him tightly. Rahul also embraces Mohan and seeks Radha’s blessings, remarking on how cute Manan looks. Mohan then suggests that they should begin the Janmashtami puja.
As the family prepares for the puja, Kaveri enters and questions how they could start without her, emphasizing her role as the eldest family member. Ketki inquires if the police released her, and Ajeet jokes that Kaveri probably made life difficult for the prisoners. Kaveri explains she was released on parole. Mohan, still not entirely welcoming, questions why she came when they aren’t related. Kaveri, feeling unwelcomed, pleads with Radha to convince Mohan to let her stay, claiming she has nowhere else to go and reminding them that Damini is still alive. Radha persuades Mohan, saying that Kaveri is part of the family and has already faced her punishment.
The story takes a somber turn when Kadambari and Meera arrive with police officers. Kadambari admits to her past wrongdoings, confessing that she thought she would escape punishment, but Lord Krishna ensured she faced consequences. Meera, in a moment of repentance, confesses her love for Mohan but acknowledges that she took the wrong path to win his heart. She admits that Radha is the only one who truly deserves to be with Mohan. Kadambari expresses her desire to celebrate Janmashtami with the entire family, leading Mohan to agree to start the puja.
As the family gathers to pray, Radha reflects on how Lord Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita have transformed her life, leading her to Mohan. Mohan also offers his prayers, thanking Lord Krishna for teaching him to love again. They both reminisce about their first meeting, and Gungun sweetly adds that Lord Krishna blessed her with a mother in Radha. Radha continues her prayer, thanking Lord Krishna for punishing the enemies of the Trivedi family, while Dadi expresses her gratitude for reuniting Radha and Mohan.
The spiritual atmosphere deepens as the spirits of Tulsi and Vishwanath appear. Tulsi’s spirit happily remarks on Radha and Mohan’s reunion. However, the mood shifts when Damini’s spirit enters, claiming that Mohan still belongs to her. Tulsi’s spirit mocks Damini’s spirit for remaining unchanged even in death and questions her choice of a black outfit, which Vishwanath’s spirit jokes must be the attire of hell. Damini’s spirit retorts, stating that she looks more stylish, and sarcastically notes that the Janmashtami puja has begun.
The episode concludes with Radha and Mohan commencing the Janmashtami puja, accompanied by the devotional song “Shri Krishna Govind Hare Murari.” Each family member takes turns performing the aarti, and the episode ends on a joyful note, with everyone showering flowers on Lord Krishna’s idol as the title song plays in the background.
This episode was packed with emotions, reunions, and spiritual moments, making it a memorable celebration of Janmashtami for the characters and viewers alike.
