She overcomes hurdles through intense affection and unwavering devotion. Radha embodies love that conquers all. Although expressed in tender, earthly terms, the undying love that Radha and Krishna share has philosophical underpinnings. Radha represents the devotee, both male and female, and Krishna represents the divine. Radha’s intense love for Krishna symbolises each devotee’s passionate longing for ultimate unification with God. |
