Radha Krishna

Radha Krishna are the divine couple who represent the supreme love and devotion in Hinduism. They are worshipped by many sects of Vaishnavism, especially those who follow the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Radha Krishna are also considered as the avatars of Lakshmi and Narayan, the goddess of wealth and the god of preservation.

According to some scriptures, Radha Krishna are the original forms of God, who manifest themselves in various ways for the sake of creation, maintenance, and destruction. Radha is the eternal consort of Krishna, who is the source of all bliss and beauty. She is the embodiment of his shakti, or energy, and the personification of his love. Krishna is the supreme personality of Godhead, who is the master of all opulence and power. He is the lord of all creation, and the lover of all living beings. Together, they are the perfect match, who enjoy their pastimes in the spiritual realm of Goloka Vrindavan.

Radha Krishna are also the inspiration for many forms of art, literature, music, and culture in India and beyond. They are depicted in various paintings, sculptures, temples, and festivals. They are also celebrated in many songs, poems, stories, and dramas. Some of the famous works that glorify Radha Krishna are the Gita Govinda by Jayadeva, the Brahma Samhita by Brahma, the Chaitanya Charitamrita by Krishnadasa Kaviraja, and the Radha Tantra by Narada.
