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.

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

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

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

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

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.
