Love: Radha & Krishna

• "Radha is not Krishna’s wife. Yet without her image, Krishna is never complete. She inspires him to play the flute. Without her there is no music. In some traditions she is considered Krishna’s aunt. In others she is married to another man. In most she is older than him. Thus the love of Radha and Krisha defies all social norms. Their meeting when they are surrounded by a circle of dancing milkmaids, the Maha-Raas, always takes place at night, outside the village in secret. It represents the desires of the heart that unfortunately have to be denied or repressed or sublimated by the demands of the society. Though denied, repressed and sublimated they exist, And Krishna acknowledges their existence." (Myth - Mithya by Devdutt Pattanaik)
