Radha Krishna - True love story

Radha Krishna

 

Understand the definition of love with Radha-Krishna

…………………………………………………………………

In the Vedic calendar we celebrate the appearance day of “Radha”.  Radha is the embodiment of the Divine Feminine energy the “goddess”. There are many embodiments of the goddess in the Vedic tradition, but Radha is an extremely important figure because she is the embodiment of pure love.

 The word Radha in the Sanskrit dictionary means, devotion in the material world, where we live and we’re all looking for love at the very least. What we ideally are searching for is unconditional love unadulterated love  without cause or without stipulation and of course we want our love to last  long forever and  there are many  songs and poems talking about eternal love limitless and love endless

 Love this is what we want, we'd like to find that one person who embodies that for us. Radha is the embodiment of pure unadulterated love and devotion to whom to God the form of God in which Radha plays out her Leela(play) or her divine pastime is Krishna one of the most famous forms of the Godhead.

So Radha is the girlfriend or the consort of Krishna. It is good to mention that Radha and Krishna's love played itself out somewhere between the ages of eight to twelve when they were but children and then Krishna had relocated to another city. So there is purity and innocence tenderness simplicity in this love.

 Why is it important because our love here for another in the material world can never be eternal it could never be endless ,yes there are songs that say I will love you always but as we all know our relationships come to an abrupt or  end at the point of death. At the time of death- yes, it's possible that perhaps two souls will reincarnate again and take up where they left off and enter into another relationship certainly that is possible but lifetime after lifetime after lifetime the same is questionable

 By studying the life of Radha and her devotion to Krishna, we learned what it means to love unconditionally and without stipulation to love with an open heart, no matter what and the lesson in it. Especially for us, we too must learn to love God eternally.

 if we learn to love God .It is the only real love that, we could have that could be eternal and endless until the end of time and beyond, when loving God or when learning to love God, it automatically includes everyone else cause it lifts you to such a high mention or high platform or high experience of love that it is overwhelming and it becomes more than material it becomes spiritual and therefore transcendental beyond all human experience. That is the love that we should all be cultivating even in this lifetime well we have a spouse, a lover, a boyfriend and a girlfriend .We should also be cultivating our spiritual love and our eternal connection to the Godhead so when you think of unconditional love and endless love think of Radha and her eternal devotion to Krishna.

Confusion between Radha Krishna and Rukmani in this subject----

We have heard a number of times that Radha ji is the supreme power. In India and even here we always see other Krishna temples but as we all know the Rukmani is the wife of Krishna. But we don't see Rukmani ji .

People ask - why does Rukmani take a lower prominent as compared to Radha.

Answer - See philosophy, there's a very deep topic if you don’t read and research carefully, you will become confused. You need to understand very carefully, that Radha is not worldly lover of Krishna. she is the , she is the divine energy so the relationship between Radha and Krishna is not to be understood as earthly  lover and beloved ,it's to be understood in the light of the absolute truth as the energetic the supreme and his divine energy

When you have that perspective, you will understand Rukmani is not the wife. God doesn't have any wife because God is neither male nor female, how can he have a wife so the Rukmani is also energy of Krishna.

She's undergone many Shakti, she’s so immune. Radha is the supreme divine energy and her subservient energies are many like Gopis and others. Krishna also says the completeness of his life becomes with his aadishakti .So there is no confusion about Rukmani and Radha because it in the one and same part of shakti.
