1 Lord Krishna dalliances (Raas Leela) with 'gopis' are often symbolically interpreted as the loving interplay between human soul and the ever pervading God. Because of radha's rapturous divine love for Krishna, their relationship is considered as the quest of normal human beings for union with the divine. Such a love is considered as the highest form of devotion in hinduism, and symbolically may be represented as loving bond between the beloved and lover or wife and husband. Radha was born to Kamalavati and Vrishabhanu in village of Barsana, about 8 kilometers from Vrindavan. Since their childhood, they were very close to each other - they danced,they fought, they played, and grew up together with the thought of living together for eternal. In vrindavan, all gopis were enchanted in love with Krishna, but love of Radha was the deepest one which attracted Krishna towards her. Radha was a dominant lover in the divine relationship shared between her and krishna. This love game between Radha and Krishna, popularly known as raas leela, was the embodiment of devotion,love,passion and transcendental care.
2 Lord Krishna and radha After attaining adolescene, Krishna left radha to perform his worldly deeds of safeguarding truth and virtue, but radha waited for him in vrindavan. Krishna became a king and defeated all his enemies and became well-known as the supreme divine being with some even worshipping him as a lord of the universe. Radha thinking about only her eternal love still waited for him. Krishna married Satyabhama and Rukmini, raised a family with many sons, fought deadly war of mahabaharata but lost in the love of her kanha, radha still waited for him. Even today, the immense love of radha for krishan is admired when her name is uttered before the name of krishna. If you see the name of lord krishna temples, then you would always find name of temple as radha krishna temple and not krishna radha temple. This is in accordance to the boon given by the lord himself. It is also said that worship to krishna is incomplete without deification of
3 Radha. Before leaving from vrindavan to kill demon kamsa, safeguard truth & virtue and protect citizens of mathura, he met radha. Sobbing in love she asked krishna "Why don't you marry me and take me with you for what i know you are not going to come back soon?" Krishna just turned back and didn't reply. She asked again and he acted to ignored her. Seeing her love ignoring her, she shouted angrily and then lord krishna turned back. Radha was surprised to see that Krishna turned out to be Radha. Krishna smilingly then answered : Radha, we need two souls for marriage but you tell me where is the second one?how can i marry myself? This incident shows that Radha was beyond love and devotion and no relationship can bind them. They both are one and inseparable. Radha and krishna was the perfect example of true love where RADHA WON KRISHNA WITH BHAKTHI and pure bhakti is love. This incident also signifies the relationship of radha and Krishna on a different plane, with one soul in two forms. Their love was purely spiritual devotion, which cannot be further purified by bond of marriage

5 Radha shown as part of lord krishna Seeing radha immense love for him, krishna promised her the whole world will always remember you as his purest and closest "Bhakta". and so, your name will always be takenn before my name. This is the prime reason why krishna is always prepended by radha and temple is named as radha krishna and not krishna radha temple Radha krishna temple of london Chanting radha repeatedly turns out to be chanting "Dhara" (Dhara in sanskrit means flow). Chanting radha actually increases the stream of love and devotion one has from Krishna and the same is given back to the true devotee by lord krishna. Another unrecognised story According to another story Radha was already married to a person named ayyan alias chandrasen and thus, was an aunt of lord Krishna. Since she was already married and
6 one women cannot marry twice, lord krishna couldn't marry her abd denied her proposal for marriage. Krishna left mathura and became married with three wives still radha remained devoted to Krishna and i is said that her love and devotio remained in krishna heart forever which made himlove radha more than his own wives. This is the reason why the love of radha and krishna is admired by his devotees across the world. Their love was beyond any physical need; Forgetting everyhing else, she just loved her Radha is said to be the source of all goddesses like krishna is said to be the source of all incarnations It is said krishna wanted to give the message of true love and devotion and so, he expanded himself to produce a feminine entity out of himself and tool immense delight in loving her equivalent to loving himself.therefore krishna and radha is not diffrent and they are two entities with the same soul. Like krishna is the source of all expansion and incarnation of supreme god, radha is the source of shakti(energy). In other words, Radha is the source of all other goddesses. Other goddesses are just expansions of her.. Thus, Vishnu,Shiva, Rama, krishna, radha all are expansions of the same Supreme being, and similarly Lakshmi,Ambem, sita, kali, and even Durga all are expansions of Supreme Feminine form of God.
7 Radha in different forms Although they didn't marry each other still their love beome eternal and their love stories will be admired and adored till the end of this universe.
