Radha and Krishna Pastimes

The legends of Radha-Krishna have become immortal. There are numerous legends and stories of Radha and Krishna depicting their true love. Radha's devotion and dedication towards Sri Krishna is the most sincere one. Here are some legends of Radha-Krishna portraying their love for each other.

I have been waiting
So much to see you again
That when I meet you
I think I am dreaming.

The heart races beyond time
And a moment’s wait, Krishna
Seems to last a year or more;
While a year together passes
As though it were a second.
Radha stay forever.

The rasa dance one of the most wonderful pastimes of the Lord Sri Krishna

Another day passes another night.
Must life end all too soon?
I had just held your lotus hand,
Now no lotus, no moon.

Radha! Your beloved cries
He cannot live without you.
See how he withers and dries
Love that lent life now drains his hue.


As night approaches
The pain within grows.
Madhava, shall I meet you?
At least today?

All yester night I cried
As I waited for you.
My eyes have swollen-
The fruit of longing.

Tonight should you not come-
O the very thought agonizes!
Can I live?

The rasa dance one of the most wonderful pastimes of Lord Krishna with the gopis

Look at his eyes O Radha,
Love-famine rages in them.
He hankers to see you
And beholds your mirages
And runs towards them.


Krishna can live without water
And even without air.
But without you, Radha,
Every minute he dies
