When we say Radha our mind is tuned to think Lord Krishna only.
While for those who are steeped in spirituality and devotion, the concept of Radha Kalyanam gives inspiration, for laymen a question may arise as to why we ordinary human beings have to conduct the divine union of Gods? But an explanation of the real meaning behind this grand celebration will perhaps clear the air: The ancient Hindu philosophical wisdom postulates that Jeevatma is nothing but a creation of Paramatma and is destined to re-unite with Paramatma and Radha Kalyanam is nothing but a meaningful way of celebrating this reunion.
Radha represents the Jeevatma which is nothing but a creation of Krishna, the Paramatma and Radha Kalyanam is the re-union of the Jeevatma (Radha) with Paramatma (Krishna). We ordinary human beings by this simple act of performing Radha Kalyanam are actually glorifying the world’s most potent spiritual wisdom namely “ADVAITA”, which says Jeevatma and Paramatma are one and the same!
Why not Devotees perform Rukmani or Sathyabama Kalyanam?
In respect of Rukmini kalyaana or Bhaama kalyaana, it is just viewed as the avataars of devis concurrent with that of Bhagawaan, uniting with Him logically. In the case of Radha, it is not so. It is the aatman uniting with Paramaatman. Hence the popularity.
