Metaphorically, allegorically Krishna represents the spirit, Prana existing in us as our soul atman and Radha mother earth. The inter-twinning relationship between Krishna and Radha is that of atman soul with mother earth.
Ever since all souls’ atmans separated from its parent body Brahman, they got mired in impurities. To cleanse self of dross impurities within the souls’ atmans needed a body to work out their karma. No sooner life supporting planets like mother earth evolved souls atmans started manifesting life on mother earth.
In absence of Radha (mother earth) no soul atman could purify itself. The importance of Radha (mother earth) in the life of soul atman is supreme prime reason why the name of Radha comes before Krishna. In absence of life supporting planets like mother earth all souls’ atmans would endlessly keep rotating all over cosmos with no chance of manifesting themselves.
In Bhagavad Gita the role of mother earth, Radha is above all including souls’ atmans.
In Hinduism also all the goddesses are shown more powerful than gods and the prime reason for this is in absence of Radha (mother earth) no soul atman could manifest, purify itself.
To understand matters spiritually our indulgence in teachings of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita is necessitated. The relationship between Radha and Krishna becomes crystal clear when we indulged in contemplation (chintan) to reach the hidden underlying meanings of sacred texts contained in scriptures of Hinduism.
Bhagavad Gita is primarily a spiritual document having nothing to do with religion (path of rituals). People following religion (path of rituals) continue treating Radha as a consort of Krishna. They never desire knowing anything spiritually. Such religious practitioners never gained anything in life.
As a human being, as a soul atman manifesting human form we must never ever sully mother earth. In present times people are playing with nature, mother earth. The very fabric of mother earth is getting destroyed. At the opportune moment, mother earth will react. The fury of mother earth would be so great that mankind would not be able to handle it properly.
In recent times’ tsunamis of gigantic proportions, major earthquakes, landslides of proportions never heard of have become a regular feature. Massive floods world over have also become common. As time passes by, the retaliation by mother earth (Radha) would be more and more. It is only when Kalki Avatar (a man almost equaling powers of Lord Krishna) surfaces on mother earth will the fury of mother earth subside.
Only an avatar of the stature of Lord Krishna can handle Radha.
A few more years to go before the world witnesses’ mother of all wars, the awaited world war 3!
