Who is Radha-Krishna?

The story of Radha-Krishna is the story of effortless manifestation through love, dance, and music. Glory to Radha-Krishna and Tulsi.

Radha-Kirshna is not simply the story of the Hindu High God Krishna having an adulterous relationship with the beautiful shepherdess Radha who is already married to someone. This is a vulgarized portrayal of deeply philosophical and yet practical story of the origin of matter and emotions.

Remember that the name Krishna is haloed. Some yogi went several thousands years of meditation to come up with this sound so that it could be given to Krishna when he would be born. Similarly Radha is just not an adulterous lover, she is the supreme and primordial Goddess of power and love.

Their romance symbolizes the meaning of life – the meaning of music from the flute pipe – the meaning of dance – the meaning of beauty – the meaning of immortality hidden behind mortal existence. I am not simply writing poetry but physics as well. The physics of physical and non-physical love creating physical matter.

One mystical meaning of Radha revealed by Venkatrama siddha is that she is the epitome of devotion who carried Krishna's feet in her heart eternally and even during her sleep. No wonder this continuous meditation on Krishna without an effort will give you everything.

The problem is cerebral, effortful and forceful thinking of a mantra. Radha reminds one of Cleopatra who said that she never thought about Anthony because she never forgot him. Radha is the ultimate manifesting energy. She represents the primordial cause that creates all effects.

There is no effect without a cause. Cause and Radha are synonyms. What is cause? It is logic, it is meaning, and more importantly an energy that creates both cause and effect. What is that energy? It is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. It is difficult for human beings to practice unconditional love. All human love is conditional and agenda orientated. But Radha-Krishna can help us.

Keep a beautiful statue of Radha, dancing to Krishna's flute. Throw a few petals of Tulsi leaves over the statue on a daily basis or whenever possible. You will be initiated into the secret of unconditional love and manifestation of an effect without a cause. Tulsi is the mystical herb who herself was the beautiful Brinda who was seduced by Vishnu impersonating as the demon husband of Brinda.

During a recent pilgrimage in South India, Dr. Pillai was irresistibly 'called' by Radha. The pictured statue was amongst the stock in the souvenir shop of the hotel Dr. Pillai stopped at for lunch. He was attracted into the shop to 'discover' her, pulled by her power of love and joy. He went on with His pilgrimage but her calls did not cease. He ended up going out of His way and on the return of the pilgrimage. He freed her from the shop.

Upon returning to Chennai Dr. Pillai set out to find an artisan who could replicate this statue as it is not like any other. There is such refinement, fluidity and poetry to the pose of both Radha and Krishna. They are alive. Artisans were called in from many directions to test their skill at replication of this exceptional piece. The Astisan was found! ...and has been commissioned to re-create Radha Krishna statues that are available to you now.

Radha was the epitome of unconditional love for Krishna, and wanted to keep her divine adoration even a secret to Krishna. She was so deeply immersed in thoughts of Krishna that Krishna gave her the ultimate acknowledgement - 'Radha is eternally inseparable from Krishna'.

This is an important opportunity to contribute selflessly towards making their blissful, celebratory energy available - for your personal life and for everyone in the world - to live life as a daily celebration of love, ecstasy, beauty and abundance.

The secret to unconditional love and manifestation is not a logical one. Throw tulsi leaves on this statue of Radha dancing to Krishna's flute on a daily basis and you will be initiated- you will connect with this power of effect without a cause.

Thiruchendur

This is the famous seashore temple for Lord Muruga. It is one of the 6 Battle Houses commemorating His victory over the demon Surapadman. After the victory, the Devas and Devaguru Brihaspati worshipped the Lord at Tiruchendur. Hence the temple is also revered as dedicated to Guru.

Alangudi

This is the most popular to appease Lord Guru. The worship of Dakshinamurthy in this shrine gives longevity, progeny, fame and wealth on the worshiper. The specialty of this temple is that Lord Guru is engraved on the wall and is not in the form of separate idol reunited with Shiva.
