When Lord Krishna handed over the flute and said ‘I am your culprit’, Radha Rani replied like this


Love, a word that reflects the most tender feeling of the heart. Every person has its own definition, on which the effect of changing times is also clearly visible. If we look at the couples of 40 years ago and compare them with the couples of today, then the difference is huge.

People and time can change the definition of love, but they cannot change the basic feeling inherent in it. Due to circumstances, separation from a lover was painful even earlier and is a cause of pain even today. Whatever the era may have been, the story of those who suffered due to the separation of love from their lives can be read somewhere or the other in the literature related to that time. The same thing happened with the love of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha.
