Parakiya means love вЂ“ not by marriage, but by friendship. In the spiritual world, the highest, topmost level of love is Parakiya. In the eastern religious tradition, she is however accepted as a beloved of Lord Krishna but the wife of another, sometimes mentioned by name as Aiyyan. This perhaps makes her the most confusing character in Indian mythology. She is sometimes the adulterous and amorous lover of Krishna and at others his divine consort. Radha has been perceived differently by different people down the ages. In ancient prayers, вЂњRukmani, Satyabhama sametha Sri KrishnamasraвЂќ is what (is) recited and there is no mention of Radha. The poets and romantics have given this spiritual relation a physical form, and distorted the picture for the average viewers. The idea of Radha and Krishna as lovers became popular only after the Bhakti movement during the late medieval age. while some argue about the amount of truth in Radha Krishna stories. This kind of an eternal love has interested poets, writers, seers and even the common Krishna devotee. The kind of devotion that Radha has for Krishna is considered the highest form of worship where she surrenders herself to Krishna without any inhibitions. In course of time he married Satyabhama and Rukmini and raised a family but Radha kept waiting.

But when Krishna had to return to his rightful throne and worldly affairs he left Radha at the Vrindavan and Radha waited as Krishna defeated his enemies and became king. During KrishnaвЂ™s stay in Vrindavan, Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, becomes his beloved friend, adviser and consort. RadhaвЂ™s undying love for Krishna is often interpreted as the ultimate quest of a mortal to unite with the divine. Krishna in most of his depiction is seen hand in hand with his flute and his beloved Radha. In other schools of thought, it is believed that, all 16,000 gopis are reincarnations of goddess Lakshmi of which Radha or Radharani is given a higher importance. Radha is actually a devotee of Krishna who was given an exalted status of KrishnaвЂ™s consort, but it is also believed that Radha is an incarnation of goddess Lakshmi. It is said that Radha is considered as the supreme goddess in Vaishnavism as Krishna enchants the entire world but only Radha can enchant even Krishna and bind him with her love. From small children to elderly men, the antics of Krishna and the way Radha chides on him brings about awe. Radha Krishna stories are one of the most highly retold stories in Hinduism. Please be pleased upon me and make me Your servant, although I am such a fallen offender.вЂќ O Radha and Krishna, ocean of mercy, I am taking shelter of You. O lover of Shri Krishna, Shrimate Radharani, I belong to You alone. вЂњO Lord of Shrimati Radharani, I am Yours my actions, mind and words.
