Unbelievable? Vrindavan Monkey Refuses To Take Sunglasses From Devotee | Chandra Darsan on Instagram

Vrindavan monkeys are infamous for snatching away devotees' personal belongings, especially sunglasses, only to return them later if tempted with a Frooti drink. Knowing this all too well, one man thought he could outsmart them. Instead of risking a surprise snatching, he voluntarily offered his sunglasses to a group of monkeys. But guess what? That plan didn’t go as expected.

In the now-viral video, content creator Chandra Darsan, dressed in traditional desi attire with a japamala around his neck and sunglasses on, approached the monkeys calmly. Anticipating a possible snatch, he decided to offer the sunglasses first.

Monkeys ignore him

The clip shows him stretching out his hand, holding his shades toward the monkeys. One monkey lounged lazily on the edge of an old building while another sat nearby, both showed zero interest in his offering.

So, were his sunglasses safe? No. If you think you understand Vrindavan monkeys, think again. They never miss a chance to snatch in style — and always when least expected.

Sunglasses snatched

Seconds after they ignored his offer, the man turned toward the camera and began filming his reel, believing the monkeys wouldn't disturb him anymore. And that’s when the classic 'theft' happened.

The video captures him posing for the camera with the sunglasses back on his face. Out of nowhere, a monkey leaps down from above. In the blink of an eye, the sunglasses are gone. Yep — the monkey took them away, not when offered politely, but when the moment was just right for their habitual snatch.

Video records 4.2 million views

A caption over the video read: "Rule sabke liye barabar hai. Jis tarah se liya jata hai, usi tarah se lenge (The rule is the same for everyone. We’ll take it the way it’s meant to be taken)".

Chandra Darsan shared the clip on Instagram earlier this month, and it has already gone viral, racking up over 4.2 million views and counting.
