rukmani or radha

An sum1 teme wt r da roles of radha n rukmani in krishnaz lyf...kindly enlighten me

Radha s the lover of Krishna and he did nt marry Radha...

Radha Everalways be the Lover of Krishna...

Krishna Marries Rukmani...

Theres no mention of radha in ved vyaas mahabharata.
She is mentioned as one of the gopi in vishnu puranas...
In the later text and folk tales radha has heavy presence...Some ppl regard her as laxmi's incarnation but tht is not true.
Radha was probably his gopi n a devotee of Krishna...her deep devotion for Krishna exhalted her position as his chief gopi and lover.
We hav no evidence to prove weather she actually existed since vyaas didnt mention her.

In Mytho it is always advisable to check the story in other Puranas too.
Radha & Krishna exists in Golok, it is clearly mentioned in Devi Bharavat.
There are 2 approches.
1- Look for proofs & evidences everywhere & clearly discard things which doesn't have have any. One can even say so & so doesn't exists as per research done by a scholar.
2- Since it is a Mytho, stories are from Puranas, which mentions Many Kalpas, Maha Yugas. Sat Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapar Yuga & last is Kali Yuga. If any evidence of a Sat Yuga event is not found today in our modern times, do we think such event has never happened? Vishnuji's various avatars that were part of Sat Yuga & Treta Yuga, can they be said to be a mere fiction? If Radha is a fiction, then what about Lakhs of devotees who can connect to Radha with Krishna & get a divine feeling. Is it a fiction too?
A devotee's approach is at Spiritual level. If they can feel the connection between their aaradhya & them, while remembering, praying to them, then their aaradhya really exists. So Radha does exist, she is real. Devi Bharavat even has a mantra of Radha.
One should not see a Mytho as just a documented script supported by evidences but there is much more to it. The Spiritual teachings, connections can not be documented. They are to be experienced & felt. Those who feel the connection are so engrossed in that divine feeling, are least bothered about evidences & proofs.

Mahabharata is not Mytho Its history !!!

Radha was one of gopi's of krishna in vrindavan... she was elder to krishna... and she is considered as krishna's lover.. and plays a very important role in his life...
