Though I just want to ask about radha ji.. she was incarnation of Goddess Laxmi? If yes then why saints say that If you want peace and love, worship Radha and if you want Money, worship Laxmi ji..!!

Different versions have different things. Some say Radha was incarnation of Lakshmi while others say she was not an incarnation of anybody but existed in her entirety both in heaven and Earth. Some also say she was not an actual incarnation but symbolized Krishna's Shakti. It all depends on what you wish to believe.😊 As for me, I grew up being taught that she was a form of Lakshmi Ma so I hold true to that.

But if you wish to draw a parallel to Sita Devi in Krishna Avatar, it would have to be Rukmini Devi because both were of similar personalities and sacrificed their happiness for the greater good. Sita suffered the separation from her husband and Rukmini from her son Pradyumna. It depends on which version you choose to believe whether Radha also was a form of Lakshmi or not.

But then again, if we look at it in a broad perspective, all the Goddesses are one only. Lakshmi, Parvathi, and Saraswati are all amsas of Goddess Durga (or what other name you refer to her by), and so even if we take it that Radha is simply another form of the divine Goddess, she is technically the same as Lakshmi.

Thanks for the information.. Although even i believe radha is an avtar of laxmi ji .. so if someone ask me to choose between ram or krishna, i will choose shri ram but at the same time i will choose radha instead of sita.. :)

I would find it very hard to choose between any of them.😆 Ram and Krishna are both very close to me, and it is even harder for me to choose between Sita, Radha, and Rukmini.

Just asking out of mere interest, but is there any reason for your choosing Ram over Krishna and Radha over Sita?

I know ram or krishna, both are same. I know radha or laxmi both are same but still I would love to see my lord with bow & arrow only (tulsidas said the same thing in sanskrit :) ..Well my answer may lead to criticism.. but i will try to explain...

I chose Ram over Krishna because I feel he was the Bestest son... he was the Bestest brother, and Bestest ruler.. People talk about banishing Sita, but I would say he was Bestest husband .. it was his Dharma which let him did that.. he could have married to someone else.. like Dashrath or other kings used to do.. he could have lived a luxury life instead of sleeping on floor. Going to Vanvas just because of step-mother's wish and then offering his kingdom to step-brother. He defeated Ravana but gave all due respect to his wife. He could have ruled on Lanka but he asked Vibhishan to take over. So many other such reasons.. At the same time I feel that Krishna did wrong to Radha ji.. there are justifications to it but still.. and having more than 1 wife .. gopi and raas leela..just bit confused to approve all these...I have read all three granths.. bhagvat gita, bhagvat puran and ramayan... there was justification of everything but still if someone ask me to chose between ram and krishna, it would be always Shri Ram.. mere Ram!

Regarding Radha & Sita.. well Radha was the true form of love..she loved krishna and only krishna.. Krishna didn't marry her but her love never vanished..although i don't have anything wrong about sita mata.. both are equal and avtar of shakti!

Jai Siya Ram, Jai Shri Krishna :)

:D Yup! You guessed it right!
And JSK and JSR lol! Almost same to same!

Still in the process of editing'Posting what I have down.

Ok! So here's with my reply. Including a lot of sources here: Wikipedia, Bhagavad Geeta, JSK, SK, and my Amar Chitra Katha comics! :D

Shri Krishna incarnated not only for the reason of destroying sin and establishing religion, but to please his devotees. That is explained in his Prem Leela. Those who have watched Jai Shri Krishna, or Shri Krishna can refer back to those long dialogues that Krishna has with his heavenly associates like Brahmaji, Shivji, Yog Maya, Radha, etc about this matter.

In the Bhagavad Geeta, it is mentioned by that the only Self is the eternal Self on the inside. And Krishna is the master of that self and exists in us. Paramatma and the jivatma are both inside the living body. And we are all parts and parcels of him. He thus controls our senses, and so he is Hrishikesh for that reason, and also for the fact that he is not attracted towards anything. All of his 16,008 wives thought that she had enchanted Mohan himself, but that was not so, as he is well beyond that. He only did this to please them, and his own wants were not involved. Krishna is a nirmohi!

The Raas Leela is an example of the union of the soul and the super soul. Even though the gopikas were married to others, they were still, by their soul, belonging to Shri Krishna. In their past lives, they were great saints who had asked from God to be reincarnated as the associates of him in his next avatar and love him. Also, during Shri Raam's avatar, there were many women who wished to marry him but since he had commited himself to marrying only one woman, Sitaji, their wishes were not fulfilled. And so Shri Krishna took form to do that. I think Jambavanti, who is the daughter of Jambavant, was an example of such.

That's all I have for now! Will edit it later. Signing off! Good bye y'all! Nighty night!
