INTRODUCTION:
Today we are going to see a beautiful as well as an incomplete love story. Anyway incomplete love stories are always beautiful. At the end of the day, it is what it is. The love story we are going to see in a transcendental one, lived more than thousands of years but still our heart breaks why it ends like that. Even though we didn’t want this type of end, we all loved the story very much. It is the love story of “RADHA — KRISHNA”.
THE STORY:
We all know how much Krishna loved Radha but they didn’t get married. Marriage is a conditioned living between two human bodies. But love is an unconditional one that lives with a single soul. In the transcendental state, marriage is not a higher thing than a pure love. That’s why we can Radha-Krishna’s love as a transcendental love story. Radha and Krishna both are very good friends and lovers from their childhood. Radha is 5 years older than krishna. So Radha takes care of Krishna when his mother Yashoda is not available. At that time, they became very good friends and eventually loved each other much. When Krishna plays his flute every gopis in the brindavan will fall for him. But he began to play his flute for his Radha. Even though Krishna married many, Radha is special among everyone even though they haven’t gotten married. Radha and Krishna said to be married when he was very young in front of Brahma and other Demi gods, but it’s not an official one. The story remained incomplete. Krishna left brindavan after his age 12 and defeated kamsa in his age 13, he didn’t meet Radha after that. Later Radha was married to Ayan, who prayed a lot and granted a wish from Vishnu that he could marry Radha. But, Radha’s heart is completely within Krishna.
THE TWO CURSES:
The main incompleteness in this story is due to two huge curses.
1. The first curse is given to Krishna — when sage Bhrigu comes to meet Vishnu, he is asleep and he doesn’t notice his devotee. So that he gives a curse that in his each life he has to live separate from his love of life. Vishnu accepted his fate with a smile and implemented this in his each birth. In ramayanam, he lived without sita. In Mahabharatam, he lived without Radha. Even though he didn’t marry Radha, their love is a transcendental love, which couldn’t understand from this materialistic world.
2. The second curse was given to Radha — Another sage gave a curse that while krishna going to mathura she must not meet him. If she does so, she couldn’t be able to meet him again for the next 100 years. Radha couldn’t control herself, so she went to meet krishna. As the sage said, Krishna won’t meet her for the next 100 years. After 100 years, krishna met Radha in her old age. Radha lies in the legs of Krishna, and then krishna begins to play flute for his Radha. Radha died in his legs, after encountering this, krishna couldn’t control his tears even though he is the supreme personality of God. He cried so loudly as he couldn’t bear the pain of Radha’s separation. He breaks his glorious flute, so that the flute plays for Radha won’t be played for anyone!
CONCLUSION:
There is no doubt that the love story of Radha and Krishna is transcendental love. Because of the love Krishna had on Radha, Radha will be born in everytime krishna takes birth in this world and she got the wish of loving krishna all the time. This is the transcendental love of Krishna he had on Radha. This love is apart from this materialistic world. It relates to the spiritual world that no one can able to understand how much he loved her!
