You are right Suta in this aspect. He suffered and agonized like Radha, in their separation, because they had a relationship which many described in many ways. Krishna becomes complete as a lover only beside his consort, Radha. The various dimensions of the complex Radha-Krishna love story pertinent to human life have been revealed to us through the ages by various Indian scholars and writers from all over the world. The Radha-Krishna love affair has been explained by many in the frameworks of the Purusha-Prakriti principle of the Sankhya-Yoga philosophy, of mystical bhakti (devotion), of purely materialist philosophy.
The earliest source of Krishna’s reputation as a great lover can be found in the Harivamsa Purana, Subsequently, Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana, like Harivamsa Purana, also dwell on the avatar’s aspect as a sensuous lover.The role of the perfect lover adds up to Krishna’s multi-faceted personality, leading many Vedantic exponents to consider him as the complete Vishnu avatar. Krishna was no longer a detached lover reciprocating the passion of gopis with equanimity. He suffered and agonized like Radha, in separation.
Krishna becomes complete as a lover only beside his consort, Radha. It could be argued that the Radha-Krishna affair shows very scant respect for middle-class morality and social inhibitions that define marital and familial ties. According to certain traditions, Radha was seven years older than Krishna and had fallen in love with him at first sight when he was a toddler, some claim the relationship to be illicit and so on. The apparent deviation from contemporary societal norms is a characteristic feature of the Radha-Krishna love affair that challenged conventional Hindu sentiments and continues to do so in the present times. Jayadeva has written Ashtapadis, a sensuous love poetry narrating the Radha-Krishna affair; later Chandidasa (Bengali), Vidyapati (Maithili), Surdas and Bihari (Braj) and Govindadasa (Brajaboli) presented the wide range of bold nuances in love play in the Radha-Krishna story and exhausted the whole spectrum of love covered by the divine couple.
The serial makers simply killed the main essence of Radha Krishna love by introducing weird stories between them!!
