Radha Is An Enigma Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Radha Is An Enigma



Is Radha a person or a concept?
Is she the milk maid or incarnation?
Is she a love companion of Krishna
Or a symbol of devotion for layman?

Radha is an imaginary figure,
Known through Jayadeva's Gita Govinda
Written during the eleventh century.
No puranas prior speak of Radha.

Radha is Krishna's love in the people mind.
Radha and Krishna in romantic love
Is portrayed by dance, folklore and painting
For the people to enjoy sexually.

Radha is not a separate entity.
Radha and Krishna form an entity.
Radha is not married to Krishna though
But her pure love for Him is outstanding.

The necessity of creating Radha
And her indulgence of love for Krishna
With sexual focus in devotion
Must be from tantric sexual explicit.

No female creation was ever made
As cute as Radha, the epitome of love.
No dance can be with such sensual mood
As the one where Radha and Krishnaromance.

No other Goddess combines the element
Of devotion and love so exquisitely
As does Radha in love shown to Krishna
Spiritually and physically.

Radha-Krishna relationship is holy.
Radha is seen as an individual soul
Longing for the Supreme for a merger.
Radha is found to be the quest of love.
