Radha, in Hinduism, the gopi (milkmaid) who became the beloved of the god Krishna during that period of his life when he lived among the gopas (cowherds) of Vrindavan. Radha was the wife of another gopa but was the dearest of Krishna's consorts and his constant companion. How did Radha and Krishna fall in love? According to another belief, Radha represented Jeevatma while Shri Krishna is the Paramatma. Radha's selfless love was the highest form of devotion. And therefore, she merged into Shri Krishna by surrendering herself. Hence, since she had united with him, there arose no need for marriage. Radha and Krishna are one Lord Krishna is known to have different energies. So, his avatar as Krishna is a manifestation of his external energies whereas his internal strength is Radha – an incarnation of Shakti on earth.
