Ek Radha Ek Meera

Ek radha ek meera
dono ne shyam ko chaha
Antar kya dono ke pyaar me bolo..............

You remember this song? Once one person told me that love of Radha and Krishna is true love. No other love story is above their love. Yesterday I was listening this song which so beautifully differentiates between Radha and Meera. Then I started thinking, if Krishna loved Radha so much then why didn't he married her? It was not impossible for him. He was having 60000 wives. One more wouldn't have created much problem.

I started comparing Radha and Meera. Both of them, lived in society which was pretty strict against love and affairs. People say Radha ruled Krishna's heart. But she never dared to declare her love for him. Meera had that guts. Radha was always scared of loosing Krishna and always tried to protect him from rest of gopi's. Why Meera loved him so much? I don't know. But, she dared not to stay with a husband whom she doesn't love.

To me true love doesn't mean one amongst 60000. Is it that you can have true love for all those. If only true love in Krishna's life was Radha, then what the hell those 60000 women were doing in his life. How can he marry them without love.

How can people from generations believe that to lead life with someone love is not required?

I think we never try to understand the point of view of author, when we read some story. We understand it as we like. Once someone told me that, wife means, she should do whatever her husband says. And he tried to give example of Seeta,"Seeta followed her husband to forest".

Yes, Seeta followed Rama to forest. Now let me remind you the end of Ramayana. Rama send Seeta to forest, just to make happy the people of his kingdom. At the end he goes to Seeta and ask for her apology and beg her to come back.

She says no. And she ends her life there itself. Oh........ Seetha, said no to Rama! To that Rama, who once crossed sea and killed Ravana to rescue her. Who once accepted the challenge of her father to get her as his wife. Who never thought of any other woman in his life. And this time he asked her to come with him to palace, not to forest. Still she said no! Has she gone mad?

People say that woman's heart is a deep sea of secret. No, it is not. Yes we don't know how to think from mind. Most of the decisions are from heart. When we love someone, we can stand with him, no matter whatever is the situation. But you cannot get the love of a woman by tying three knots.
