My dear i wish to give what little i know about this .
Radha rani as she was known was not Krishna's lover . She was much elder to him and already married . Her self realisation started when she first was tremendously attracted to the divine music when he played the flute . Later a friendship developed in which she lost interest in material things ...namely her sansaar or marital life ...in which she only thought of him as she saw God in him . This happens during sadhana when you are on your way to achieve self realisation ...it is a stage described by many self realized souls .Meera , like Radha Rani too was a married woman . She had worshipped Krishna since she was a little girl because while watching a wedding procession she had innocently asked her mother ' where is my husband '. Her mother had pointed to a Krishna idol .Such was her innocence at that tender age that she believed it with her heart and worshipped him so much that when her marraige was really arranged to a King she was already in an advanced spiritual state . So much so that even her husband knew it . Infact the first thing Meera asked him when they got married was if he was going to pull her down from the spiritual level she had reached . And he had answered 'No .'This is called as 'madhur bhava' and it is a state in self realisation whereby you achieve it by regarding God as your fiancee and giving up your life to him till you reach the total surrender .There are nine such 'bhavas' in Hinduism whereby one can realise God . Hanuman achieved it by 'Dasya bhava' in which one regards God as the master and the devtee is his servant who does his bidding .Bhakti is best installed at a young age than old age is a living proof when one studies Radha Rani's life or Meera's life .They were not even born in the same age . If Radha was born during the time Krishna was physically present Meera was born in a much later time .There is no comparison between the two ...they both are married ladies who lost interest in material sansaar and achieved self realisation .One thing they both did ...they did not dump their God at the last minute .😆
