What is Radha the goddess of?

She is the goddess of tenderness, passion, feelings and love. In the scriptures, it is described that Radha is the avatar of the goddess Lakshmi and also the Supreme goddess, called Maheshwari, the feminine surbond and sakti of the Krishna. The divine exemplar of unconditional love and faithfulness, Radha also follows Krishna in reincarnations. In Hinduism, Radha was a gopi, or a young milkmaid, who got captured by Krishna, during that brief period of his life when he was living among gopas (cowherds) of Vrindavan. Radha wss married to another gopi, but this one close to heart of Bala Gopal (Krishna) and the most aclion of Krishna's companions. The female, Radha, and male, Krishna, are sometimes seen as a divine soul (atman) and divine God in the devotional (bhakti) current, respectively.

The stories of the divine love between Krishma and Radha have been using as the topic of the lyrical poems in many Indian languages, especially in Bengali. The Bengali saint Chaitanya was said to be an incarnation of both Krishna and Radha: Rai was Krishna within outside as Radha was. In addition to his devotion to the Supreme Being, Chaitanya also sung many love songs about divine love, but they are not saved with us. The Gita Govinda composed by Jayadeva being the main source of inspiration for the later Rajasthani and Pahari miniature painters, the works of Radha and Krishna are found in images where Radha is seen waiting for Krishna to return safely with the cows in the twilight or sitting with him in a forest grove . Although both Krishna and his beloved, Radha, are worshipped throughout India, those in the north and east usually venerate not only the bronze images of Krishna playing the flute as they are enshrined in the temples, but they also respect and glorify Radha's presence.

Lastly, from Ramanuja's, a distinguished Indian philosopher (1017-1137) and his Vishishtadvaita (special non-dualism) we can also analyze mysticism as well. From his standpoint we could say, she is a human form Radha who is somewhat limited being who is restricted to being worshipped in her limitedness as deity. Yet, she is an absolute entity without any shape or everlasting, since she is the mother of all. She fills each hollow of the Universe with her essence.

How came that Radha, the heavenly goddess of love and beauty departs all the joy and happiness from her earthly life and fills it with sorrow and discontent? In the despising of an impotent husband who is unable to serve his wife bodywise; is the situation described in Sri Krishna Kirtan by Baru Chandi Das. Yet, she didn't reason with the destiny that the villagers traditionally considered itself as if it was an evil force. Krishna happened to be a fellow cowherd boy that she had met during her numerous trips to sell milk outside the city. Though Savannah was older than Radha, he still 'seduced' her. In the beginning, Radha did not even think that she could become part of something similar with him. She was looking for a one who could fill her own life with the joie de vivre, respect and honour. Krishna topped flute playing skills; music of the flute to him was the only thing which could make all women of the village to feel enchanted. The fact that Krishna tried to bribe her, telling her that she was even more beautiful than Arya, shows how great he loves the interpreter, and how ready to make anything for her.Radha finally gave in. The fact is that in Vrindavana itself Radha met her divine Love from whom she can never be separated in her eternity.

Ayesha Ghosh is Radha's husband which is another person. It appears that he used to sell fine wool, ranging very long distances for the sale of his product. Meanwhile, he left his dearly loved spouse to care for the mother and sisters of her.

The aforementioned dilemma stems from the Vaishnava denominations regarding if Radha’s appreciation for Krishna was sexual or not. However, Arjun’s giving her affection upturned the social status and her family. She was termed as the erring member of the society. She was ready to put up with the whole ordeal and she did it to protect the love that they had. The Vaishnava poets captivated the care (i.e. suffering) that she had to deal with in her society and the longing for Krishna. In the middle age, the contribution of these poets was immense with them effectively writing a lot on this topic.

But one day Krishna had to leave it. He went to Mathura because he had much to do. He had to kill the tyrant king Kamsa and establish peace there. Though he always loved Radha, he never went back to her. Why? This remains a question. But Radha was always committed to his love. She never loved The Nobodies anymore. She is still waiting for Krishna on the bank of the Jamuna river under a Kadamba tree, where they used to meet.

I have visited many Vaishnava temples. Devotees weep fervently when they remember the anguish and sorrows of their queen “Sri Radha”. Her sorrows touch my heart. According to Brahma Vaivarta Purana and Garga Samhita, Krishna met Radha again after 100 years of separation. But the separation narrative gave birth to Radhaism and some branches of Vaishnavism.

Radha is a rebellious character. She was despised, hated and boycotted by the society. Although she is very saintly, she is taboo for many communities because of her extra-marital relationship. Devdutt Pattanaik wrote: “It is impossible to think of Krishna without Radha. This is a story of eternal love, the source of romantic songs. And yet some of the largest Krishna temples in India do not enshrine Radha’s image. At Puri in Orissa, Krishna is enshrined with Subhadra, his sister, and Balaram, his brother. In Udupi of Karnataka or Guruvayoor of Kerala or Nathdvara of Rajasthan, Krishna remains alone as a cowherd boy. In Pandharpur of Maharashtra and Dwarka of Gujarat, he is alone; the temple of his wife Rukmini is nearby. Even the Bhagavat Purana, the holiest book on the Krishna narrative, does not mention Radha”.

Radha is one amongst those magical characters who have been depicted in mythological depiction. About 100 thousand lyrical compositions about the similar subject matter have been methodized in more than 50 languages which are Sanskrit, Brajabuli, Maithili, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kanari, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam, Odia, and Kashmiri.

According to many historians, she had joined the ranks of the other historical figures in their minds. Later on, it came about that she has been deified. Shashibhusan Dasgupta, the Bengal theologian and a recent Indologist Charlotte Vaudeville (1911-1964) and (1918-2006) have shown that Alvari literature, which came to Vedanta very many centuries earlier, has Radha. Alvars were the Tamil kutruvens (poet-saints) who apparently lived between 4200 BCE and 2700 BCE. Their literature includes Nappinnai, a character. She is also considered very beautiful as the goddess and Lakshmi one of the primary deities. On the other hand, I want to remember the story of Nappinnai that was without any tragic ending. Therefore, the story which was constructed with this artistic style lacks in depth of response if similar to human heart.

Radha’s social revolt, which we, the readers, experienced on the emotional level, was another powerful aspect of the novel that contributed to the deeper understanding of the characters. People suppose that she is the embodiment of the power of the affectionate feelings. I posit that, she is and a symbol of rebellion.
