First, in many stories of this time in Krishna's life it is eluded that Radha has a husband. Thus Krishna couldn't marry Radha because she was already married. And I remember when first reading these stories that I often thought "God shouldn't act like that!" But then a friend explained that I should remember that there are many ways to love. Radha loved Krishna in a different way than she did her husband. Or atleast that's what the story is trying to elude to....just as we, the devotees of God, love God differently than we love our own spouses. Our own spouses probably wouldn't be very interested in us chanting their names or singing and dancing around them...for example. So Radha represents the bhaktiyogic way of approaching God and Rukmini represents the karmayogic way of approaching God. Rukmini served God (her husband) as a devoted wife, mother, and queen. There are other stories where Krishna marries others, each seem to symbolize something else (let us not forget his transformation into a woman to marry a man who was to die)...some other way of having us realize that there are many ways to be devoted to God just like there are many ways to love people.

What happened to Prince Charles Family expectation, Him needed to marry a good girl from good family, class and from similar status. So this may be the Case with Lord Krishna or an extramarital affair after he met Radha once he was married. But question is in those days King could marry more than once , so why did not he married Radha? Was he in really in love with Radha? or he just played around with her? Spartan

Lord Krishna Na ShreeRadha loved each other beyond what love is perceived as today. Their love was eternal and was beyond physicality and wordly boundations adn hence it was not necessary for them to marry. Instead their relationship shows that Love is much more than just being together physically and emotionally. that it is a state of constant remembrance wherein you are constantly in touch with the one you love even while absorbed in wordly activities. The connection between the two doesnt snap even for a single second. the lovers are eternally entwined by their love and devotion towards each other...... that is LOVE as experienced by Lord Krishna and shree Radha...... and that is what their epic teaches us to attain that level of true Love.

Krishna's activities are twofold
1. Eternal pastimes in the spiritual world unmanifest to material vision.
2. Manifest pastimes in the material world visible to everyone.

In the former pastimes, Lord Sri Krishna and his eternal consort Srimati Radharani are eternally situated in the topmost spiritual planet known as Goloka Vrindavana.

In the second pastimes while having descended from the spiritual world, Lord Sri Krishna appeared simultaneously as the son of Mother Devaki in Mathura and also as the son of Mother Yasoda in Vrindavana. It is should be noted that Lord Sri Krishna does not take birth materially as per his own statement in Bhagavad gita 4.6, "Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all living entities, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form."

So, similarly Lord Sri Krishna's marrying 16,108 queens in Dvaraka and provinding each queen with a palace is not a material affair just as his birth with four hands as Narayana in the womb of Mother Devaki. It is spiritual and transcendental.
Similarly, Radha and Krishna affair is not material mundane affair between ordinary boys and girls. Otherwise, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who renounced the world at the age of twenty four nothing to do with any woman would not have glorified the love of Radha and Krishna as the topmost.

the relationship of Radha and Krishna is the an epic occasion of devotion. Radha's pastime for Krishna symbolizes the soul's intense longing and willingness for the in simple terms suitable unification with God. the variety of love is of the utmost sort of devotion. perchance...it incredibly is why the 'worldwide' consistently buddies Radha with Krishna.

Lord Krishna married to other---who was she? She was also a part of Radha.She was not someone else.She was Laxmi---the other soul of Radha.Just remember that .It has a vast phylosophy--regarding the LOVE of Radha and Krishna.When I was a kid --I used to go to RadhaKrishna temple----and there the most famous bhajan singer used to come.I listened to their song and also their explanations about RadhaKrishna.Then I told RadhaKrishna that please do something so that I can pray you always.I was so charmed by all the explanations and bhajans.At last they used to make Radhas place higher than Lord Krishna.

The Radha is the positive energy while the Krishna is the negative energy of human beings. In the universe, +ve and -ve energies shall not live together. But, it is good for humanity, love and universe.

Here the love between Krishna and Rad ha are not the mundane love what we experience. It is beyond all our comprehensions. They are inseparable like a word and its meaning. It is nothing but Prakriti and Pu rush.

It is like positive and negative in electricity. The same is nothing but Arthanaree Tatwa of Siva. To understand this one should do intense sadhana.

It shows that love can exist outside the bonds of marriage. It is eternal love of Soul to Eternal Soul. Atma to Paramtma.
