Why Krishna didn't marry Radha ???



How did this topic emerge today...? While discussing lord Krishna s marriages with my son, he had this question that when Krishna could marry so many women why wouldn't he marry Radha?

To this I had this reply for him.. Mythology is a debatable topic but this is my perception ....

Lord Krishna did not marry Radha to prove that Love and Marriage are two different things...love is a selfless emotion while marriage is an agreement or arrangement... Krishna acknowledged the divine and untainted love of Radha with His divine grace. The Radha Krishna love story is an instance of the zealous pursuit of spirituality apringing forth eternally from the individual self towards the universal self.Some limitation is imposed by the sense of 'duty' that husband and wife naturally acquire towards one another. This sense of duty is beautiful, but the highest type of love is even more beautiful. It is so profound that it requires no sense of duty – and flows absolutely spontaneously – breaking all things that stand in its path.

Thus, the pure transcendental love that Radha Krishna enjoy on the highest level of bliss (paramānanda), expresses itself in the form of being paramours, not husband and wife.” Hence when the relationship between a man and woman is limited to marriage, Radha Krishna relationship transcends all definitions that are earthly, physical and material.

The above version is something I found on internet but posted this as I thoroughly agree with this perception but I have more to add here... Society doesn't approve of man and woman in any close or intimate relationship unless they have the label of marriage....to the extent when Krishna married most of his wives as he rescued them and only giving shelter to them would have been disrespectful to those women hence the status of wife.... Radha on the other hand was beyond these labels... Precisely why we always say "Radheshyam ","Radhe Radhe ", Radha Krishna ","Radhe Gopal", no wife of Krishna is worshipped along with him as much as Radha... This can also mean that despite marrying women, Krishna was purely in love with only Radha as she was a part of him. Radha is the epitome of SURRENDER in love which is the primary requirement to feel the oneness with your beloved.

Also, Radha being no princess, no royal upbringing, clearly suggests that love is beyond these mundane things... It involves only and only PURITY OF HEART....

DON'T DIE WITH YOUR DEAD...

Did you know that when you cry for your dead, you cry for you and not them? You cry because you “lost them”, because you don’t HAVE THEM by your side. You think it all ends in death. And you think they are NOT there anymore. So if you’re dead no more, where are they? Yes they have left, or they are now somewhere else, is that place better than this? Yes, definitely that place is better than this; so Why do you suffer for their departure? When you have finished accepting that they are no longer "NOT here", but they are still in another place even better than this, for they’re where they are no longer sick, or suffering. Then you'll stop mourning them and you'll get them back in memory so they keep accompanying you with the joy of all that you've lived. If you truly loved them LOVE them AGAIN and this time with greater strength, with greater purity, with greater delivery. Today, there will be no more reproach of any kind. Only LOVE, will be the essence b...

Harnessing the Power f words...

Have u ever noticed that during those times you were convinced something would go wrong, it usually did? “I’m going to mess this speech up; they’re not going to like me; I am not good enough.” On the other hand, in those times when you were convinced you couldn’t fail, things tended to go smoothly and successfully. “I can’t lose; I just know there is a connection; I have what it takes.” While we all have varying degrees of psychic knowing, these self-fulfilling prophecies have more to do with mindset than intuitive premonitions. ​ Negative self-talk comes in many forms. It may sound factual, “I won’t get the raise,” prudent, “If I try, I’ll fail,” or like a realistic observation, “I am all alone.” Negative self-talk hinders our healing, growth, evolution, and ascension, creating adverse outcomes for ourselves and our lives.   We all have an occasional dark cloud floating across our clear mental skies. However, it can’t rain every day! The more negative thoughts we have, the more ne...
