Lord Krishna teaches through his verses in Bhagvad Gita that one must do 'Karma' /duty selflessly and not except fruits in return. Its most imp to do Karma or action towards one's goal. Radh doesnt do anything except following instructions from Amma, Devki, Shastriji,Vish and many members from Purohit family. All Radh does is whine to Krishna for her problems and cry loads. Did she ever make any effort to overcome the hurdles/obstacles even though Kanha himself told her that she isnt thinking what He wants. Despite the obvious significance of the prescient, Radh choses to do what Amma dictates her to, how much disgraceful or unrighteous it might be. Vish, Dev, Amma, Devki, Mrina, Arjun, Daadi, Shastriji and even Birju all make efforts whether right cause or wrong is disputable but they all do Act. Unlike Radh who simply looks down coyly and tries to find pleasure in her misery.
Why shd Kanha help Radh? She doesnt even desire her rightful place and her wish is to repay gratitude to Shastri family. Doesnt it conflict with Radh wish? Isnt it better that Krishna choses those who make efforts say Daadi she has a rightful cause?

u make a good point, but all radhika wants is the happiness of others
she cant help but do whatever they tell her to
i personally think that it is time for her to step up and grow a back bone
yea she does call herself a kanha bakti, but she doesn't follow his teachings, but still she will be helped by him because what she is doing is out of selflessness, she is trying to make her sister's life better, little does she know what kind of a b**** her sister really is

that saying about "karm kar phal ki ichcha mat kar" is being misrepresented here. What Rads is doing is exactly that. She performs her duties.. she does as told by her parents and elders.. the people who raised her.. she does so selflessly.. even hurting herself she follows what they ask her to do because it gives them happiness, it makes their life easier, and she helps her sister out selflessly..knowing that in the process she is giving up what it rightfully hers. All she has done is karm..even taking care of Dev when he needs her...she is doing only actions without getting anything in return. Worse she is getting insults and bad name in return and still she continues her acts of living for others..serving others. Thats her lifestyle. She lives for others...without expecting anything in return. She is following the teachings of Kanha to the T...AND THAT IS WHY.. Kanha will help her.😳

Karm Kar.. does not mean do things to get what you want.... it means do what is right, what is noble, what is righteous without expecting that good things will come to you because of your hard work, or sacrifices. Do so only with the heart of a servant...one who serves..selflessly.

I agree with Jc..Radhika does all work wht they ask her to do. SHe never think herself that wht benefit she get it after she done. She wants that Shashtri family happiness, even she doing all stuff giving just pain..still she doing her Sis and ma's happiness..
That reason Knaha help her in all situation..Radhika is Choti Bahu..All Rasam, done by Radhika,..Even she help Dev in his illness..

Radhika is encouraging sinful behavior. She is just plain stupid and using Kanha to continue this stupid behavior is plain wrong. If she cannot stand up for the truth and just lies, lies, lies...then she is NOT a very moral person. In fact, she is just prolonging the misery and has suddenly abandoned her efforts to prevent adultery! She was quite happy to accept Devki's suggestion to confess, so she should not back out now.
To correct thing to do would be to confess all to Shastriji and let him take the correct actions.
Radhika should not be sitting on the fence in these matters.

I'd like to say that Radhika in this show is one person who has no influence over anyone other than Dev (only cause he loves her..when or if he decides to stop loving her or hate her then its over for her). She is not forcing anyone to commit sin. She is just not preventing them from it. And i don't think there is anyone in this world who will [at all times] raise a voice against every wrong, injust or immoral thing happening in front of them..because basically human nature is that of weakness and not moral righteousness. We all fault and try to do best as we can.. but no one is perfect. So why hold Radhika to perfection? It is Kanha or God that intervenes and prevents bad or absolute injustice from happening or in correcting what wrongs have already been done. Humans tend to become vessels in that process. And from her POV she is right. She may allow a sin to happen when its saving the lifes of many others.. people she loves dearly {its immaterial how these people treat her.. to her they are family}

The consequences of the truth coming out are far greater than giving up Dev to Vishakha. Radhika is not expecting that eventually the truth will come out.. because it can't come out unless one of the parties involved will open their mouth and speak. She is doing what her parents expect of her. She is doing the best to prevent a group suicide in her family. What will Shashtri ji do when he learns the truth. How did he react on knowing Vish ran away from the pooja? He was broken. He started crying at the thought that Rads had to take her place. Learning that Rads is actually the one married will no less than kill him. If the news itself doesn't.. atleast the humiliation of having a daughter who lived with a man without being married to him will surely drive him to kill himself of shame.

I am therefore not for Radhika telling the truth...because its too late. It comes with the risk of death to a few members of both Radhika and Dev's family. It comes with the risk of goodness actually being put to shame. Sometimes when truths can be hugely destructive a human does not hold the power to reveal it. How can Radhika live with herself after humiliating the people who raised her and possibly leading to their death because they'll surely loose all respect and their livelyhood when the truth comes out.

Right now i am actually pretty annoyed with Kanha.. why did he have to play this twisted game to get Radhika a happy life and to test her faith. I am pretty annoyed. 😒

JC, recently I read this -

If God answers your prayers, He is increasing your faith.
If He delays, He is increasing your patience.
If He doesn't answer, He knows you can handle it.
Most of this situation was not created by God but by human action - Radhika's Amma's Devki's Vishakha's and even Dev's. And the twists and turns are the consequences of those actions. God does not intervene till He feels that you cannot handle it alone.
So....let's wait along with Kanha to see how far Radhika and Dev are successful in solving their problems on their own 😊
