Simply put - KRISHNA/Vishnu or Radha/Lakshmi aren't restricted in anyway. They themselves don't leave their Dham when they come to the material world to perform their leelas.

For example, let's pretend we have two candles in front of us, one of them is lit.

We take the other candle, tip it so the wick can attach to the flame in the first candle, and we now have two flames, one on each candle.

The flame doesn't transfer - in other words, candle 1 doesn't get extinguished while candle 2 is lit, and it's the same fire.

Similarly, when KRISHNA comes down to the material platform to enact his pastimes, he expands himself. Likewise, Srimati Radharani and Sri Lakshmi Devi expand themselves. Both are still in their respective dhamas, but they are simultaneously present in the material world. They are not restricted by the constraints of material nature.

Thus, it's perfectly plausible that Radha and Rukmini were just as different as Vrindavan KRISHNA and Mathura/Dwarka KRISHNA. They are the one and same, but at the same time they are different.

Well said shyam.

One has to go beyond normal stories to understand intricacies of divine play.

They are born on earth for a purpose

Only few of their qualities, elements are known to people.

There are lot more secrets unknown to us. Thats why it takes years, some times many lives to understand them.

Well said Minaxi.😊 Many stories, many perspectives, everyone presented the story from a different angle, there is a huge scope for divergent interpretations.

Minaxi We need to know what mythology is? A study of myths which we believe to be true. It gives us the liberty of interpretation. Nothing is wrong or right here.

Very well said. There are so many different interpretations and writings. There are so many sides to a story. It impossible to know everything at once. Some of them are still unknwon to us.

Its Minakshi.

I am not new to Mythology. 😆

This works for superficial interpretation of stories. Not at a higher level.

Many pts in out Mythos have reference to other scriptures. Where things are explained & experienced following a different route.

Mytho stories get people interested in knowing more about the main characters. Some of them are representataive of our faith. Some are interested in following them at a deeper level.

Every interpretation indicates level of the seeker.

Param Brahman with form has may faces, qualities eg, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Mahakaali etc.

Each of these form have their own set of scripture. Some allow their devotee to attain liberation, based on their Karmic account.

Vishnu expanding Himself, just to enact his Divine play on Earth, is one such pt.

Even Realised sages have known only 1/3rd of Param Brahman's Grandeur.

2/3rd of The Grandeur is know only to those Supreme Beings. Thorough this Power they Perform their duties. They also enhance their Power.

the male and female forms are simple forms to explain to the common man the nature of the universe surrounding us ... what we perceive around us in the earth , solar system.. universe is only small part of what actually exists .. this is the positive energy

there exists equal amount of dark energy surrounding us which is not perceivable by humans or any man made machine .it can be sensed only after attaining highest level of yogic powers . the positive or perceivable universe exists only because of the dark energy which exists in us around us throughout the universe ... they cant exist without the other .. they have been depicted as lovers .. radha the fair one and krishna the dark one all powerful. melodious , beautiful... equally matching the other in perfect balance and harmony

World is full of various Energies. Two main types are Static & Kinetic.

I would elaborate through Shiv-Shakti.

Lord Shiva is Static form of Energy. Shakti is Kinetic Energy.

Before creation of Universe everything was still, no moment.

It was Shiva in his Static form. Then came a "Spanda", a tremor.

The Kinetic Energy awakened Static one. It was the Supreme Energy in

their purest sense. Static form saw his reflection in Kinetic form. Created World is nothing but Reflection of Divine. Everything visible, invisible already exists in the Universe.

In the World, Supreme Energies appear, incarnates to retain balance of the World from time to time.

Krishna's birth was nothing but transcending of Exceptional Power to remove extremely dark energies. Hence he killed many Asuras. His actions were questioned. Yet He carried out his play well.
