Radha is the personification of the absolute love for the Divine, total and integral in all parts of the being from the highest spiritual to the physical, bringing the absolute self-giving and total consecration of all the being and calling down into the body and the most material nature the supreme Ananda. The union of Radha and Krishna display a very emotional and spiritually high formation of two different parts of a single soul; it is the cosmic blend of consciousness, where everything becomes real to a singularity known as God or Krishna himself
Krishna is ... the divine Flute-player,. . . the immanent and universal Divine who is the supreme power of attraction; and the soul, the psychic personality, [is] Radha, who answers to the call of the Flute-player. Krishna is the Eternal's Personality of Ananda; because of him all creation is possible, because of his play, because of his delight, because of his sweetness. Krishna as a godhead is the Lord of Ananda, Love and Bhakti; as an incarnation, he manifests the union of wisdom (Janna) and works and leads the earth-evolution through this towards union with the Divine by Ananda, Love and Bhakti. The boy with the flute is Sri Krishna, the Lord descended into the world-play from the divine Ananda; his flute is the music of the call which seeks to transform the lower ignorant play of mortal life and bring into it and establish in its place the Lila of his divine Ananda.
Krishna is the immanent Divine, the Divine Presence in everyone and everything. He is also, sovereignly, the aspect of the Supreme's Delight and Love; he is the smiling tenderness and the playful gaiety; he is at once the player, the play and all his playmates. And as both the game and its results are wholly known, conceived, willed, organised and played consciously in their entirety, there can be no room for anything but the delight of the play. Thus to see Krishna means to find the inner Godhead, to play with Krishna means to be identified with the inner Godhead and to share in his consciousness.
God as beauty, Sri Krishna in Brindavan, Shyamsundara, is not only Beauty, He is also Love, and without perfect love there cannot be perfect beauty, and without perfect beauty there cannot be perfect delight.
The Abstract Theory
The story and the events that occurred during Krishna’s life is an encoded form of God’s way of living life. It is the ultimate mantra of how we should act and react. For instance, Krishna was equally benevolent and exuberant to help his enemies as his friends; he took victory and defeat in the same manner and always kept a charming smile.
Radha, on the other hand, is more of an idea than a character. In the present time, Radha is praised as much as Krishna, even though she is not considered a goddess like Rukmani, who was believed to be an avatar of Devi Lakshmi. Radha-Krishna paintings also display the encircling Gopis, around the spiritual pair. This was termed as “Raas Leela”. Let’s first understand this term in depth. Leela and actions are two very different words.
Leela is said to be done when a being offers or does something without involving their ego. For instance, whatever Krishna did during each stage of his life was without ego and self-pride. His love for Radha, his friendship with the Pandavas, his playfulness as a son and his dutifulness as a king – all of these roles he played without any ego. That is why they are known as Leelas. On the other hand, everything and anything humans do is done with ego, and that’s why it is called the action.
The union of Radha and Krishna display a very emotional and spiritually high formation of two different parts of a single soul; it is the cosmic blend of consciousness, where everything becomes real to a singularity known as God or Krishna himself. The fame Radha earned was not because she was a critical character in Krishna’s story, but because she showed the path of pure devotion that could help a soul attain the ultimate bliss. She was pious, devoted, and a manifestation of Krishna himself.
Humans can’t comprehend the eternity. If your are blessed to understand it, you are one of the Maha Rishis. When the time comes Vishnu will reveal it to you. Many of us feel that I can’t comprehend anything, so i will surrender to Vishnu completely, let him bless me. This is a wrong concept. You need to keep probing, questioning, analyzing etc. one revelation leads to another, then another etc finally it will lead you to “Moola Prakrithi” or “Root of Creation” or “Root of Conscienceness”
Krishna Epic is all about Transcendental Secrets and revelations. You can try to explain it in a completely scientific way, which will lead to all branches of science, which we can’t comprehend at all. The approach in the form of stories and scriptures with human emotions will help the seeker to understand the internal meanings of the Epic. With that the spirituality starts dawning on you with eternal knowledge.
Like idols, humanizing Krishna helps many to start their journey. All the places Krishna was born, lived, roamed are all fiction. When people understand it as a fictional concept to explain the eternity, your salvation started. In the same way you start interpreting things in a materialistic and human relationships, illogical conclusions are made, wrong information is propagated and useless rituals are followed which leads you no where. Most of the preachers today lost in this false understanding.
Who is Krishna? Who is Radha? Who are Gopikas? What is Krishna Conscience? What is Radha Conscience? Why there are so many emotions between these two? Did Radha also preached Krishna? What is Geetha Govindam? it is all to explain the spiritual secrets and life.
