Guest guest Posted June 6, 1999 Report Share Posted June 6, 1999 There is no specific advaitic view point. Raadha is a character develped during the bhakti movement. She is not there in the original Bhagavatam. Jayadeva has magnified that role through raasa leela. One can give an explanation - Radha is in full of love to Krishna. Krishna is the consciousness and Radha is the thought that is full with Krishna and devoted to Krishna or in tune with Krishna. Rasaleela is the Krishna is dancing with all gopies - who are devoted to Krishna. There is a famous song - angana angana antare madhava and as the raasa leela proceeds further madhava madhava antare angana. That is - lady and lady and between two ladies is Krishana - Thought and thought and between the two thoughts is the silence - the consciousness alone. As the meditation matures - the Silence and silence and between the silence is the thoughts. Thus one shifts the attention from the thoughts to the silence in between. Radha also stands for prakriti and Krishna the purusha in the light of Krishna Radha shines. Without Krishna there is no Radha. These are all symbolic - the longing of Jeeva to become one with the totality. Krishna also means one who attracts. Krishna is the binding force for Prakriti to be intact. >From adviata - ultimately Krishna alone is and that is what Radha thinks too since she has completely surrendered herself to Krishna. Here her love of Krishna is demonstration of true bhakti where jiiva notion is completely disolved at the alter of love. Hari Om!
