Radha and Krishna have been worshipped as a couple for so many ages. Despite this, why is Rãdhã not listed as one of Krishna’s 16,000 wives? There are many unasked and unanswered questions about the relationship of Rãdhã and Krishna. Due to many myths and folklore, the divine relationship is mistaken as unethical.

My Affair with Rãdhã is a book that unfolds many untold stories about Rãdhã and Krishna—stories beyond their birth, about their passionate love and love-making, about the reason behind their incarnation and separation, stories about their reunion and return from planet Earth. It is an attempt to glorify the divine love.

Of maximal interest are his forceful arguments in support of his claim to succession; and his relationship with Subhadra; Sawkar's fictionalization based on logicality.

When she married Siddhartha at the age of sixteen, did she know her conjugal life would soon change drastically?
