Why did Krishna not take Radha to Dwaraka so that She could have stayed there along with 16,108 wives?

[Smt. T. Sudharani asked:- Swami, You told that Radha did not allow Her husband to touch Her and also You told that Radha was married to Krishna. In such a case, why did Krishna leave Her in Brindavanam and not take Her to Dwaraka so that She could stay there along with the 16,108 wives?]

Swami Replied:- The marriage of Krishna and Radha was done secretly for which God Brahmā alone was the priest. The need of the secret marriage was that She was already married to Ayanaghosha. Of course, neither Her mind nor Her body ever touched her husband. Even then, the social custom stands against re-marriage.

We always misunderstand God. Whatever done by Him is always the best. By doing like this, Radha and Krishna enjoyed the marital life to the climax. If analysis is done deeply, this will be clear:

i) Anything continuous brings boredom. A prostitute enjoys romance every day, but, she changes her husband every day. This makes her to enjoy without boredom. But, what is the case of a chaste lady (pativratā) like Radha? The husband is the same Krishna. In such a case, boredom will not come if there is a gap of a short period between the meetings. For this purpose, Radha was kept in Brindavanam. Radha used to come to Dwaraka every fortnight and enjoy with Krishna for one or two days and return to Brindavanam.

ii) The secrecy of marriage was already explained. Following the secret marriage, the marital life of Radha and Krishna was also maintained a secret in Dwaraka. Due to secrecy, force of love always develops to its climax. In legal sex, there is no such force because the entire society supports it and secrecy is absent about their probable union. This is the reason for the force in illegal sex, which takes place secretly without the knowledge of the society.

Due to the above two reasons, the bond between Radha and Krishna was very very strong, which became very famous for strong love. Since Radha was the climax devotee, God gave Her the climax enjoyment of romance, which was not obtained by His 16, 108 wives.
