Exactly! There is a very limited material available in books and scriptures, so makers can use their own imagination and add their perspective to their relation. If you go to Vrindavan you will know how much importance these two have for people around there. Infact they hold Radha to higher pedestal and prefer saying Radhey Radhey. So for them RK is ultimate, but if you go to Pandharpur it will be obviously Vithoba- Rukmani. So who are we to decide about right or wrong as to he treated everyone equally or not.
I think this needs to be looked at from the intent of a storyteller.....what is the intent of the writers here? The intent is to depict why did RK become such icons of love....why do they personify love in its purest form, how can they teach love to the world in these cynical times. So when you understand that basic point of the storytelling, then you can see that the show is still sticking to its parameters. This story is not about copy/pasting the 2-3 line story from the epics about two characters....the writers are attempting a spiritual interpretation of RK's journey and that does leave room for interpreting various attempts in their lives from a different lens.
So much word to this. These people who argue are like Uddhav( they feel gyaan is the highest form of Bhakti) but Krishna just makes him eat a humble pie by teaching him a lesson that love is the highest form of Bhakti. 😆
When I initially started watching the show, I thought it would just be about their angst in trying to break the curse and then reunite in Golok....but I'm realizing now on a rewatch that the show always had room to expand beyond that since the basic premise is so elastic in a sense.....because the show chooses such a spiritual interpretation of love about a relationship that isn't restricted by any norms or timelines, they have much more room to play with....and that is what they are doing with weaving in Radha wherever they want to....lol cuz the point isn't about whether Radha should have been there in the MB phase or the Dwarka phase....the point they are trying to make is that RK's relationship was so transcendent and timeless that it could not have been restricted by a change of phase in Krishna's life.....cuz again, if the concept is that RK are the epitome of love, then who says that love can only be "valid" if they never met again after Barsana? It can be just as valid seeing them navigate a society and time which can't really recognize their relationship, but their love still flows with the same purity regardless.
This is also a reason I want to rewatch :) They are showing every aspect of Krishnas life, while making Radha an integral part of his existence. He is not shown to be completely besotted or one who cannot think anything beyond Radha. He is fulfilling all his duties , creating and managing a kingdom, be the most instrumental person in MB and returning back to his kingdom. Radha is his soulmate and the one with whom he can be himself and share literally everything.
Ofcourse they are adding in some TV masala, but the overall point remains that they are simply trying to show that RK ka love is ANANT as Krishna says😆....and if it really is endless and timeless, then who gets to decide where it should end? lol as for people crying about Karma.....lol that again makes me wonder if even an iota of Krishna's teachings penetrate people's minds....itna sab hone ke baad bhi, logon ki soch Ayan mode mein hi rehti hai....tuchhh😆. Yeah, I really don't get why they keep watching it if they are SO upset with it....lol it's funny hate watching in a sense😆
It really doesn’t. They just want everything to be literal, they can’t accept this at it doesn’t fit into their parameters of what is right or wrong😆
