When Dev first laid eyes on Radhika, that Radhika was a very different girl from the Radhika we see today. A happy go lucky girl whose devout faith in Krishna captured the heart of Dev, a happy go lucky boy himself. He saw Radhika as an enigma then- beautiful, animated when it came to faith, shy, and someone he could make his wife. Radhika whose faith in God was bountiful but discarded as unfit by her own family sometimes- Amma, Devki and even Shastriji. Her entire young childhood was spent in being the dutiful daughter and sister and when needed by amma- a granddaughter. Constantly used, she never complained.
In such a situation, it is so difficult to see Dev and Radhika together- the eyes strecthed to see where these two could ever share a life together- their purpose in life, their approach to life, love, faith, wealth, hardships- so different.
Yet Kanha brought these two most unlikely individuals into the most sacred of threads- this thread of love and marraige and he weaved such a beautiful story around it that it's dumbfounding!
Dev's path took him to losing a parent, taking on more responsibility, leaving his adopted town of America, learning of the plight of common folk and being the spearhead of his family. Never one to know hardship, his love brought him many hardships but this hardship turned this handsome immature, stubborn boy to a handsome, dignified, caring and understanding resolute man. Along the way he taught Radhika that she is woman- caring and deserving of respect and love, that she is desired, that she is worthy, she gave her strength, he gave her passion.
Radhika's path brought her untold pain, quiet pain of being stripped of her rightful place but this pain via her faith made her stronger, the rights and wrongs- though blurry at first- slowly became more and more clear to her. Her acting within her maryada/relationship boundaries was painful to Dev but she remained strong in her faith that he was her husband no matter what and Kanha would guide her. Along the way she taught Dev sacrifice, how to love and how to see beyond one's self.
This second wedding is now the final stage in the physical union of Radhika and Dev, their emotional union is on equal footing:
- a true union of souls- two souls that feel each others pain and feel each other's longing- the silent glances, silent conversations that speak volumes, knowing what the other is thinking and doing what God ordained. In the HIndu marraige, it is a saath janam ka rishta- a relationship is of 7 lifetimes- the initial separation of these two souls brought about untold pain not just to them but many lives around them.
- Dev is now the mature husband (husband because he is already married to her), resolute, he knows her every characteristic, accepts her every flaw, fulfills her every wish, longs for her and values her like she is a goddess, treats her pain as his own, trusts her words as his own and works with her in solving every problem that came their way.
- Radhika is now strengthening her role as his wife, ignoring the wrong and fighting for what is right, speaking up during tough times, ready to face any fire for the sake of her husband, prepared to go through any dukh/sadness for the sake of the happiness of her husband....
No amount of money or no category of status can keep these two apart...it is now a marraige on equal footing....he gave her faith meaning; she gave his love meaning...
