Radha Madhav Mukund Harihar

Love!! The relation between them is more then love. They both worship each other. Radha is Krishna and Krishna is Radha. They are one soul. That's why whenever you worship Radha rani it goes to Kanha directly. Radha used to see Krishna's shadow in water. Krishna planted a tree of Pearls!!! for Radha. There are two kunds in Barsana called Shyam kund and Radha kund in Govardhan. This is the love between them…

Once, Krishna and Radharani were sitting together. A bee zoomed near Radharani menacingly. Krishna asked a Gopa friend to chase it away. When the friend drove the bee away and returned, he said, “Madhu is gone.” Madhu means bee and is the name of Krishna as well. Radharani felt Krishna went away and she began to cry. She wept and repeatedly cried out, "Oh, Pran-nath, where have You gone? She was in Mahabhav, that she didn’t recognize that Krishna is sitting with him. Krishna tried to console her, but Seeing Radharani’s cry of separation, Krishna also forgot that She was sitting on His lap and he also began to cry, and from the mix of their tears of love, the Prem Sarovar pond emerged.

Krishna is Vishnu himself and Radha is Laxmi herself. How can their love is so called…No, I think you got the wrong information from somewhere. A normal human brain cannot understand how much they loved each other. Separation of Radha and Krishna was due to a curse and exam which destiny often takes of two lovers. Besides being separated they were one. Think of divine love and the very first image most of us conjure up is of Lord Krishna with his beloved Radha by his side.

We have grown up seeing them together as idols adorning the Hindu temples, hearing stories about a bond so sublime that it transcended the boundaries of space and time, and in some cases, even dressing up as the two eternal lovers on the occasion of Janmashtami in our childhood days. But do we really understand the mystical Radha Krishna relationship? Are there layers to it that our hemmed in perceptions of love cannot fathom?

Anyone familiar with Hindu mythology has some insight into the Radha Krishna relationship. It’s a commonly known fact that Radha and Krishna are considered incomplete without each other. They are worshipped together, even though they were not life partners (or each other’s better-halves), at least not by the dynamics of present-day romantic relationships.

Radha and Krishna are one. A common question that is often asked about Radha and Krishn is – are they the same person? Many scholars believe that to be the case. Lord Krishna is known to have different energies. So, his avatar as Krishna is a manifestation of his external energies whereas his internal strength is Radha – an incarnation of Shakti on earth.

She is his inner energy. Their reunion on earth magical. Krishna met Radha on earth when he was around five years old. Known for his mischievous ways, Krishna created a thunderstorm once while out to graze cattle with his father. The father perplexed by a sudden change in weather conditions, and not knowing how to take care of his cattle and child at the same time, left him in the care of a beautiful young girl, who was in the vicinity.

Once alone with the girl, Krishna appeared in his avatar as a grown young man and asked the girl if she remembered the time spent with him in heaven. The girl was his eternal beloved, Radha, and the two reunited on earth on a beautiful meadow amid rain. The story of Radha Krishna and love cannot be complete without the mention of his flute. The stories of the two engaging in Raas Leela, along with other gopis, in Vrindavan are well-known. But a lesser-known facet of Radha Krishna relationship is the latter’s flute had a hypnotic effect on his beloved.

Soulful melodies flowing out of Krishna’s flute would captivate Radha and draw her out of her home to be by her beloved’s side. A divine union. Even though Radha and Krishna never married in their human forms during their time on earth, theirs was a divine union(according to some versions). To understand it, one has to understand the finer nuances of rasa and prema – that defined their indulgences during Krishna’s time in Vrindavan.

A profound love. Radha Krishna relationship falls beyond the purview of a typical romantic bond between a man and woman that is often marked by a sense of duty, binding and obligation for one another. Radha’s connection to Krishna is of profound love that flows spontaneously, breaking everything that comes in its path. Krishna played his flute only for Radha. While flute-playing is widely associated with Krishna’s flamboyant personality as a charmer of ladies, he, in fact, played it only and only for Radha. Radha abandons her human body while listening to Krishna’s flute. Grief-stricken, he breaks the flute afterwards symbolising the end of their love story in the human form and never plays it again.
