Known to be set in the early ages of "Dwapara Yug", Radhakrishna's holy love is worshipped even today. They are famously worshipped as the God & Goddesses of love. Many people adore them as the ideal couple. They reside together in the eternal abode Goloka dham. Even today they are believed to be doing the 'Maharaas' in the lanes of Vrindavan, situated in Mathura. It is believed that whoever worships Radhakrishna with genuine and selfless devotion, they are blessed with true love in their life.
Krishna, believed to be the 8th Avatar of Lord Vishnu, is generally portrayed in various perspectives; a prankster, a model lover and a divine supreme being; Many stories of him in different stages of life, such as an infant, a young boy or a divine charioteer, depict different personalities of him. Radha, believed to be the Avatar of Goddess Laxmi, Wife of Lord Vishnu, is the personification of selfless love, devotion and compassion. Radha was the most loved Gopika of Krishna. She was Krishna's "Param Sakhi"(Supreme Friend). Her complete dedication & selfless service towards Krishna made her the most cherished and idolized lover.
Radha and Krishna fell in love during their early-years(childhood). With the passing-time, their love towards each other also intensified. Krishna used to play flute for her and both of them used to dance to that tune. This dance of them is famously known as "Maharaas", 'the dance of love'. Radha used to lose herself to the tunes of Krishna. Though Radha was a married woman, her marital life didnot confined her love for Krishna. Radha & Krishna's love was boundless and divine. Radha loved Krishna, worshipped Krishna, served Krishna. Her entire life was only meant for Krishna. That's the reason she is admired as the ideal and divine woman.
Radha and Krishna's love is eternal, it doesn't cease to exist until there's life on this Earth. They will be adored and worshipped forever and ever. They are admired so much that devotees call them as Radhakrishna. Radha & Krishna are not two different people, they are one. Their soul is one and their heart is one. Without Radha there is no Krishna. Without Krishna there is no Radha. They were born to teach the world the true and pure form of love. Where there is no ego, fear, insecurity, anger, attachment, envy and lust. True meaning of love is sacrifice and dedication. One should dedicate everything towards his love and be ready to sacrifice anything. Sacrifice and loyalty are the essence of love. Radhakrishna's story is an epitome of love, devotion and compassion.
