Their romance symbolizes the meaning of life – the meaning of music from the flute pipe, the meaning of dance, the meaning of beauty, the meaning of immortality hidden behind mortal existence. 

One day, Krishna complained to his mother Yashoda about the injustice of nature which made Radha so fair and him so dark. To pacify the crying young Krishna, the doting mother asked him to go and color Radha's face in whichever color he wanted. In a mischievous mood, naughty Krishna heeded the advice of mother Yashoda and applied color on her beloved Radha's face; Making her one like himself.
