Chapter 1 Prologue

                      Prologue                           

Radha has been perceived differently by different people down the ages. She is sometimes the adulterous and amorous lover of Krishna and for others his divine consort. This perhaps makes her the most confusing character in Indian mythology.  Being a wife to someone, involved in deep love with Lord Krishna, divine love with her God, I consider her as an embodiment of love in this universe. To define her character in different perspectives, in the light of philosophical, psychological, and of course within mythological ambit,  I tried to define her in-depth feelings from an inquisitively different angle!

 it is my first attempt sharing my views and my feelings with all my readers. Since my childhood, I was fascinated reading the stories and listening to songs about   Radha Krishna love and longing,  in the perspective of the anthropomorphic tendency of our culture, the attribution of human traits, emotions, and interactions to non-human entity, the omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God,   reflected in our Epics which made me fascinated towards this Divine Love. To define the pure love between man and God, many used this story as an example. For me, the Maiden is the superpower who can teach, guide, and give solace to even God!

Love is always pure bliss, an immortal boon,  but unfortunately, the mere humans are making it murkier as sin. There is so much to learn from all religions!
