Wikipedia Trails: From Krishna to Kalpa

Krishna
I wanted to read more about Krishna after watching Krishna Epified this week. I specifically wanted to read more about Radha, the woman he wishes to marry in the epified videos.

Radha
Radha is associated with the original goddess, also known as Shakti. She is considered to be more important than Krishna by some of the followers Vaishnavism. She represents the incarnation of love for Vishnu, and together with Krishna, they represent absolute truth.

Rasa lila
After reading the article about Radha, I read the article about Rasa lila, also known as Rasa dance or the "Dance of Divine Love." Radha is said to be the most important gopika in Rasa lila, as the goddess who dances with Krishna.

Kalpa
After reading about Rasa lila, I read about Kalpa, also known as one "Night of Brahma," which is how long Krishna stretches the Rasa lila and is about 4.32 billion years.
