Book Description
Radha was five years elder to Krishna. That's why she could not marry him, they say. Another reason was that he was a prince and she felt that she was just a cowherd, though Krishna never felt like that. One more reason was that she witnessed some of his miracles right before her eyes and she considered him as a God. She worshipped him in her mind, so she could not develop mundane love. Nevertheless, their love was beyond these limitations, they were soul mates in many of their previous life times like Sita Rama or Lakshmi Narayana. Krishna left Vrindavan to Kill Kamsa at Mathura, when he was just ten, never to return again. Radha married Ayan alias Abhimanyu, gave birth to a son called Shon, lived with them till her husband died, her son got married and left Vrindavan to meet Krishna at Dwarka. She met Krishna in his palace. Though Krishna welcomed her and treated her with the same love, affection and respect that he had before, and asked her to stay with him in the palace, she was not happy there since he was busy with his duties and he could not attend to her personally. She left the palace without informing him and walked back to her city. When she was walking in a forest on her way to Vrindavan, she heard the footsteps of someone following her. She turned back to look at who it was. It was none other than Krishna himself! Krishna asked her why she left him without even informing him. She replied to him that she felt lonely there since he was busy with his royal duties and decided to go back to her city. He asked her what she wanted from him. She asked him to play his flute. Krishna started playing on his flute and she was hearing the divine music with her eyes closed. She never opened her eyes again. Krishna could not bear Radha's death and broke his flute as a symbolic ending of love and threw it into the bush. Krishna began to meditate in the forest to leave his body. A hunter named Jara perceived him to be a deer and shot an arrow at him. Ultimately the poisonous arrow took the physical life of Krishna.

The Reincarnation of Radha
Author: Mae Gosaynie
Publisher: One Point Six Technologies Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 9354383602
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
She is referred to as the mysterious Radha! Some people do not believe she ever existed. Others believe she was an adulteress. The truth is that Radha was a soul that lacked self-love. However, her love for Sri Krishna was boundless and unconditional. In this contemporary 21st century story about Radha’s reincarnation, you will learn how her consciousness contrived a plan to give Sri Krishna the Shakti he needed from her while simultaneously breaking her heart. She even chose for him to never speak to her until she had become enlightened herself. She thought nothing of her own self-preservation or the great suffering she would inevitably endure. The questions that remain to be answered are: Will Radha be able to heal from such a traumatic experience? Will she be able to forgive Sri Krishna for breaking her heart? And finally, will she eventually be able to merge with Krishna as they had originally planned? Read Radha’s story to find the answers disclosed within. -- “Written through the framework of choosing the journey of our lives on the path to enlightenment, the author forces us to consider what we have chosen to endure and why. Beautifully written through the eyes of a reincarnation story and the suffering of the soul on its way to salvation and becoming a goddess. This precious story of spiritual mates on their evolutionary journey reminds us of our mortality and declares that our life journey is a special, and personal, experience meant for spiritual growth. Inspired by traditional beliefs, we rediscover, or uncover for the first time, that we choose our suffering, which ultimately helps us advance as humans and have purpose during our cycles of life on Earth.” - Kat Lahr Writer, Researcher, Educator Southern New Hampshire University

Radha
Author: Krishna Dharabasi
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543470092

Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Radha, an award-winning novel by Krishna Dharabasi, is a mythopoetic fiction that relies on a subject drawn from the epic Mahabharata with a special focus on the lives and relations between Krishna and Radha. Written from Radhas perspective, the novel excavates those subtle and discursive social constructs of that era that barred a woman from exercising her free will and licensed a man for following his unrestrained desires. The novel peels out those myth-making endeavors that gave Krishna an aura of a godlike personality and left Radha waiting on the fringe of the society to see his return and fulfillment of her desire.

Finding Radha
Author: Gokhale Namita
Publisher: Penguin Enterprise
ISBN: 9780143441458
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Who was Radha, and why has she captured the imagination of so many writers across centuries? No other goddess combines the elements of bhakti and shringara quite as exquisitely as the divine milkmaid. She spans a vivid rainbow of imagery-from the playfulness of the Ras Lila to the soulfulness of her undying love, from the mystic allure of her depictions in poetry, art and sculpture to her enduring legacy in Vrindavan. In a way that sets her apart from other female consorts, Radha is idealized and dreamed of in a way that is almost more elemental than mythical. Namita Gokhale and Malashri Lal, who brought us In Search of Sita: Revisiting Mythology, now present an anthology on the mysterious Radha, the epitome of love, who defies all conventional codes yet transcends social prohibitions through the power of the spiritual and the sensual, the sacred and the erotic. Finding Radha is the first of its kind: a collection of poetry, prose and translation that enter the historical as well as the artistic dimensions of the eternal romance of Radha and Krishna.
