The life of Krishna
Whenever virtue is assaulted and wickedness prospers, God descends to the earth as a human being to play the role as a warrior of mankind
Traditional belief based on scriptural details and astrological caltulations gives the date of Krishna's birth, known as Janmashtami as either 19th or 21st July 3328 BCE.
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor al these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be."
"As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change."
"O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation."
"Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both."
"For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain."
"Fearlessness; purification of one’s existence; cultivation of spiritual knowledge; charity; self-control; performance of sacrifice; study of the Vedas; austerity; simplicity; nonviolence; truthfulness; freedom from anger; renunciation; tranquillity; aversion to faultfinding; compassion for all living entities; freedom from covetousness; gentleness; modesty; steady determination; vigor; forgiveness; fortitude; cleanliness; and freedom from envy and from the passion for honor—these transcendental qualities, O son of Bharata, belong to godly men endowed with divine nature."

Hi Ruby, of course it's topic related, Radha is an integral part of Krishna's life.
What this image symbolizes is the perfect love between the individual soul (Radha) and the eternal omnipresent spirit (Krishna) I love that image too, thanks for posting it!
