"for a wife,the religion says that she should love her husband as God".then why Rahda maan loved with krishna.

Question

my meaning is that the Lord himself said that it is always better to follow own religion even better to die in own religion rather than following others religion. so you tell me please that for a wife what is her religion what i undertsand that like maan ansuia , savitri, maan sita ,..............she should do everything for her husband like the God.
then Maan Radha Rani had her husband then why she loved Krishna so much.how it is possible. it means she was not a good wife. i am confused about love again. please help me

yes it is true that love does not mean lust or impure things at the eternal level , we also love our mother. please do not take this question in wrong way my aim is to clear the doubt . weather it is the doubt in my mind , it may be the doubt of many. so please do not take questions in wrong way. mere sawal nahin poonchne se kya jo galat samajh rahe hain o sahi samajhne lagenge . i know that the Lord had something in his mind to do anything , but we are not able to understand His so let us try to understand Him.

Answer 2

Krishna was only 6/7 years old when Radha came to his life... it was more of platonic relationship between an innocent cowherd married woman and a naughty child

at age 10/11 krishna left for Mathura...and never met Radha until Prabhas after Mahabharata.... so how a child can have a illicit love between the age 6 to 11 with a married woman ?

Thus Radha was soulmate of Krishna...and she was dedicated to her husband....having no lustful relations with Krishna... but the divine love.

some stupid hindus have made unnecessary love stories of Radha and Krishna, just to fulfil their own lust...

EDIT (reply to sourav below): First we have to understand what is divine Love... love is divine only when we see beyond the body, the mind and love the God inside a person. Now the love on net is pure lustful or egoists... people may give it any name. They are only fooling themselves

Divine lover loves for the sake of love...no physical or egoistical feelings. When we fall in divine love, there is no husband, no wife, no children left....all are seen as manifestation of the divine.

If one of your Aunt loves you as a lovely naughty small child...can you say she is cheating on her husband ?

Esoterically, Radha was para Prakriti, who has a natural attraction towards Krishna.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita chapter 18 text 66

Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.

sarva-dharmän parityajya
mäm ekaà çaraëaà vraja
ahaà tväà sarva-päpebhyo
mokñayiñyämi mä çucaù


Gita chapter 7 text 19
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.


From srimad bhagavatam

So, all these Gopis of Vrindavan, they are all married—some of them are mothers—so immediately (they) left their home. That is described in the Shrimad-Bhägavatam. Some of them were cooking, some of them were feeding, breast-feeding the children, some of them were feeding the husband or the father. In this way everyone was engaged, but as soon as Krishna's flute was heard at dead of night, they left home immediately. All the guardians. Generally in India for young girls, the guardians are the father, the husband, the brother, all male members they forbid, "Where you are going? Where you are...?" Nobody cares. No love for so-called children, no love for home, no love for brother, father or no respect. Krishna. That is gopis super-excellence. So that is being explained, and Bhéñmadeva, at the point of his death, he is relishing. These are to be learned. Unless we are practiced to think of Krishna always, how at the time of death we can think of Him?

Answer 4

First you have to learn your religion. From your question and explanation, all I can understand is that you do not know much about hinduism.

In your question there are two sections. First you talk of wife and husband relationship and then you talk of radha and krishna's relationship.

Both these relationships are worthy of worship. That is what you have not figured out or you would not be questioning radha's relationship with krsna.

The lord comes to the earth in our form and lives like us. But we cannot compare or try to evaluate that life with our lives.

That is where we go wrong. We try to think of the Lord with our limited thinking and lives.

I dont know what you want to know or ask. So I am just giving you my perception that radha's relationship with the lord was pure and just love. The lord was not supposed to marry radha or he would have. They were best friends.

And there is nothing that radha did which was out of line once she was married to someone else.

The lord was supposed to marry rukhmini and so he did. That relationship teaches a lot about our culture but we have forgotten everything in trying to make ourselves either secular or westernised.

In that path we have lost our own selves. When you find yourself, you will understand the meaning of pati parmeshwar.

Answer 5

Religion means following the commandments in a ritual manner. Religion following is in fact for pursuing the aim of achieving heavens. And heaven life also deminishes with time. So it is most foolish to aspire for the heavens, that is by the Vedas.

We are supposed to care for our souls for achieving the eternal bliss. And in the spiritual world, a soul is considered to be feminine. The Purush or the man, is only God (Krishn).

So all the souls are ' She'. And we have to meet 'Him'. That is the real wedlock.

So being born a man or woman in our physical bodies is one and the same thing. ' He ' is the husband of us all.

Answer 6

The RADHA-KRISHNA amour is a love legend of all times. Theri LOVE is ETERNAL. It's indeed hard to miss the many legends and paintings illustrating Krishna's love affairs, of which the Radha-Krishna affair is the most memorable. Krishna's relationship with Radha, his favorite among the 'gopis' (cow-herding maidens), has served as a model for male and female love in a variety of art forms, and since the sixteenth century appears prominently as a motif in North Indian paintings. The allegorical love of Radha has found expression in some great Bengali poetical works of Govinda Das, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and Jayadeva the author of Geet Govinda.

Krishna's youthful dalliances with the 'gopis' are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Radha's utterly rapturous love for Krishna and their relationship is often interpreted as the quest for union with the DIVINE. This kind of love is of the highest form of devotion in Vaishnavism, and is symbolically represented as the bond between the wife and husband or beloved and lover.

Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, was Krishna's lover during that period of his life when he lived among the cowherds of Vrindavan. Since childhood they were close to each other - they played, they danced, they fought, they grew up together and wanted to be together forever, but the world pulled them apart. He departed to safeguard the virtues of truth, and she waited for him. He vanquished his enemies, became the king, and came to be worshipped as a lord of the universe. She waited for him. He married Rukmini and Satyabhama, raised a family, fought the great war of Ayodhya, and she still waited. So great was Radha's love for Krishna that even today her name is uttered whenever Krishna is refered to, and Krishna worship is though to be incomplete without the deification of Radha.

One day the two most talked about lovers come together for a final single meeting. Suradasa in his Radha-Krishna lyrics relates the various amorous delights of the union of Radha and Krishna in this ceremonious 'GANDHARVA' form of their wedding in front of five hundred and sixty million people of Vraj and all the gods and goddesses of heaven. The sage Vyasa refers to this as the 'RASA'. Age after age, this evergreen and ETERNAL love theme has engrossed poets, painters, musicians and all Krishna devotees alike.-

Answer 7

Aum, isn't this divine love supposed to be for a single one (husband/wife)? Please answer.

I don't think one should divide his spiritual and other love to different people. We can even see such things going on today in the name of pure love [online].

Answer 8

Christianity does not say wife, love your husband. It says husband, love your wife.....read it!
