Bhakthi and Love is totaly different thing my friend......Meera ,poonthanam,Karooorama all feel Bhakthi ...........But That Period Radha Loved Krishnaa...and She perceived Krishna to be her husband bt Krishna married Rukmini.......😳😊

Radha was an older married lady who was in love with Krishna. Society would not have allowed a married woman and Krishna's union so he married Rukmini and thereafter many women but his true love was always Radha and hers too😊.

Dear friend, Only after Jayadevan's "GEETAGOVINDAM ".The charector of Radha became strong. In neither"Bharatam" nor "Bhagavatham" Radha was mentioned. You know Geetagovidam was written much later, She is a concept much after arised and the love and sacrifice influenced the people 👏( male dominated medieval Indian Mind)--only indian mind?😃

The feeling of Kurooramma towards Krishna(Guruvyurappan) was love of a mother to her child, in the case of Meera it was pure love, she can not accept another man in his place eventhough she is married.

Like Jayadeven lot of other people Interpreted about Lord Krishnaa........😊

Believe, I don't have any proof😊 but as far as I know Radha was older and married. Krishna was her first love and childhood friend.

In some stories it is also mentioned that Radha and Krishna had gandharva vivaham (secret marriage without the approval of society.)

Some even say that Radha doesn't exist😕. Radha and Krishna are one and the same.

^
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...

But these are all examples of "devotion" more than normal everyday love which was the kind of love that was being debated on, I think.

Friend, love is devotion. A mother devoted to her children. Wife/Husband should be devoted to each other. Love with out devotion is nothing.

I agree with the above. Radha is more than five years elder than Krishna. She was married to her cousin, and much older than her. He was a soldier in "Kahmsa's" army.

A lot of Raha's still alive in .( waiting for the love that will never return) Indian villages.As it is seen, once a "Krishna"(man) went away from the "Radha" (girl) he seldom returns to her.

I agree There are Exceptions.

One thing more, Krishna was never a King and Ayodhya was his Kingdom. It was ruled by "Sree Ram" in Ramavatar. Ugrasenan was the King of "Madhrura" Balaraman was the king of Dwaraka. In Krishnavatar he never ruled a Kingdon He paticipated the Great war of "Kurukshetra" not fought.

Love is not only Devotion😳 Devotion is part of love,I think love mixture of chemistry/understanding between peoples and their minds.....😊
