Krishna and Radha are not different, they are two entities with the same soul.

We all know that Krishna spent his childhood in Vrindavan, Radha was from a small village that was 7kms away from Vrindavan, known as Barsana. Vrindavan was the place where Radha
and Krishna danced together, played together, fought together, and loved each other like no one would in this world. Raas- Leela is a form of love between Krishna and Radha and is a form of pure devotion and love to god. When Krishna was leaving for Dwarikapuri, Radha asked him, “why don’t you marry me now and take me with you?” then Krishna turned back and became like Radha. Then Krishna answered,” for marriage, we need two souls which are different. How can the same soul marry each other?” This incident shows that Radha was beyond love and devotion and no relationship can bind them, They both are one and inseparable.

Putana tried many times to feed her, but Rukmini refused to take it, then Putana kidnapped her and flew high in the air, the villagers of Vidharba tried to follow her, but they lost track and thought Rukmini was dead. But, Rukmini became double her weight and became so heavy that Putana dropped her. Baby Rukmini fell over a beautiful lotus above a pond.

A couple, Vrishabhanu and Kirti were walking by the banks of the pond and spot their eyes on the lotus and as a blessing from God they took the baby and then named her “Radha”
