Question and Answers with HH Radhanath Swami

Today's Q&A
----
Maharaj I have a question from one of the student here… he says Maharaj one of my friend is asking me If Krishna can have so many wives why cant I have at least 2 or more? I tried to answer him Maharaj but he is not satisfied, please tell me Maharaj what do I have to say to him.
HH RadhaNath Swami Maharaj:
How many wives he has now? If he has two or more wives, then he already know the answer. In fact if he has one wife also he would have got the answer.
Lord Krishna had 16108 wives and he expanded himself to 16108 forms to give company to each wife all day all night, and all of them were perfectly satisfied with his love, devotion care and protection. That’s Lord Krishna, he is the supreme whole, he is all perfect, he is maintaining and nourishing the whole universe. There is no problem for him to have 16 thousand wives, or 16million wifes or 16 billion wives. He is maintaining every living entity in all creation. I am 52 years old, I have travelled around the world many times, and to be very honest to you, I have not seen a man perfectly satisfied with even one wife. So be honest my friend, …many of them become Bramhachari’s (everyone start laughing)… that means they don’t see point in even trying.
But actually the reason they have become Bramhachari’s is much more noble cause than that. The person does not become Bramhachari or Sanyasi, because he does not want to take responsibility of wife and family. The person becomes a Sadhu, because he is willing to make a sacrifice to uplift the whole human society. Gouranga Prabhu ki Jai, Gour Gopal Prabhu ki jai.

Krishnas feet burn from hot milk offered to Radharani:
Many, many years after leaving Vraja, Krishna met the Vrajavasis at Kurukshetra.
Of course, srimati Radharani and all the Gopis had come too.
At night, after they retired to their respective tents, Krishna told Rukmini that Radharani loves to have milk before sleeping, so please go and give her milk.
Now Rukmini was not too happy about this but she had to do Krishna’s bidding of course.
So she brought hot milk for Radha.
She asked Radharani to drink it fast, so that she could go back to her tent and tell Krishna that Radharani drank the milk.
She obeyed, although the milk was still so hot that it burnt her throat. But Radharani did not say a word.
Rukmini went back to the tent, and as was her usual Service to Krishna, she started massaging His Lotus Feet.
t was then that she noticed that His Feet had sores all over it and she was shocked and asked Him what happened.
He told her, you asked Radharani to drink very hot milk, and as she always meditates on my Feet, it was not Her throat, but it was my Feet that got burnt. Rukmini wept!!!
It was then only that she realized how pure and how complete Radharani's love for Krishna was!...
