Goddess Radha

-
Radha is a Hindu goddess who is described as Lord Krishna's lover and the head of the gopis (milkmaids) during Their childhood days in Vrindavan. She was born in Barsana to Vrishabhanu and Kirtida. Radha is worshipped as the goddess of love, compassion, tenderness and devotion. She is a manifestation of the Goddess Lakshmi and is seen as the prime consort of Lord Krishna. Additionally, she is also said to be Krishna's female form. Radha and Krishna are therefore inseparable and hence Goddess Radha accompanies Krishna in all of His lifetimes.
 During Radha and Krishna's childhood days in Vrindavan, it is said that they both used to meet in it's vast forests and dance throughout the night. Radha is described as a beautiful and attractive maiden whose heart only belonged to Krishna. Despite their true love for each other, they didn't marry each other because of a curse that separated them for 100 years. But this is a highly debated topic as it is also said that Radha and Krishna did indeed marry each other in the presence of Lord Brahma in the Bhandirvan forest. 
Although Radha and Krishna may not be on Earth right now, both of Them still live on everyone's hearts. Their love has left a long lasting impression on the world and their love for each other will never be forgotten. 
Radhe Radhe!

Don't Give Up!

Feeling overwhelmed is a feeling we may feel constantly in life. As we grow older, our responsibilities increase drastically. And we can't always cope up with that, which may not always feel acceptable to us because of our inner mind telling us that we aren't doing enough. So, we keep pushing ourselves to go further. This tiny endless cycle keeps on going until we can't find the motivation to push ourselves anymore. Then what do we do? Getting more overwhelmed is something that happens to us unconsciously in these types of situations. But that's not the right approach to problems like these.  Instead, look outside your window and remind yourself of something that you are thankful for in your life. It doesn't need to be anything big and robust. Even if it's a small detail, it doesn't matter as long as you are satisfied. Remember and immerse yourself in that detail. And for a while, you may find yourself feeling happier, energetic, less overwhelmed and most of...

True Self Over Societal Expectations

Society is the world's biggest and most feared judge. Everyone wants to be loved by other people and feel like they belong in this world. But society's absurd 'rules and regulations' have their dreams crushed. The public has created their own ideal 'perfect person with a perfect personality' that every one strives to be, so that they can feel wanted and accepted. But in the midst of trying to be that perfect person, we lose ourselves. We lose our true personality that used to define us.  Maybe we might not be society's favourite. But the truth is that nobody is society's favourite. So instead, we should try to be our favourite. Be your own favourite person. Don't run after acceptance and that perfect persona, charm and looks. It may see like the best option to feel accepted, but it's actually one of the worst options in disguise. Because doing all of this, is never worth losing your true self. Trying to please the public is just one of the defini...
