Fake Stories on Radharani & Krishna that have to be avoided!
Many Fake stories were created and added in the later age Puranas like Brahma Vaivartha Purana.
Srimad Bhagavatham is the Bonafide Scripture to know about Lord Krishna written by Krishna Himself as Vyasa deva.
Many fake stories were created from a single verse in Srimad Bhagavatham on later period.

Let us see that:
Stories were formed as if a boy under 10 years have love relationship with teenage or elder women.
All Gopis were attracted to Krishna, just like women adore a cute kid.
On later dates, they created a love affair between kid and women.
In the tenth chapter of the Srimad Bhagavatam, one of the gopis who Krishna plays with during his upbringing as a young boy is mentioned.
Srimad Bhagavatham mentions that by the service of one particular gopi, Krishna is more pleased, and she is Vrishabhanuja.
Her devotion was mentioned as anaaradhyate aaradhyate, which means her worship methods were not like regular and routine ways.
From that line, Radha was derived by later generations.
In later centuries, Brahma Vaivarta Purana was edited to add a character named Radha and her curse story of Sridama.

ONE SUCH FAKE STORY:
This is where physical relation between Krishna and Radha was added to create stories.
Radha was jealous of Krishna being with other gopi named Viraja. When she approaches to catch them red-handed, Krishna’s servant Sridama stopped her at entrance.
Radha cursed him to be born as a demon.
In turn, Sridama curses Radha to be born in human form and get seperated from Krishna for 100 years.
Only after 100 years, she can meet Krishna back in Goloka.
This story is fake.
Why?
Krishna left Vrindavan at the age of 11 years and 6 months to Mathura and never returned.
In Mathura, he stayed for 10 years 6 months.

At the age of 22 years, he left for Dwaraka and settled there. He stayed in
Dwaraka for 105 years 3 months and never returned to Vrindavan in his lifetime.
So, after leaving Vrindavan and killing Kamsa on 14 December 3218 BCE (Siva Ratri), Krishna stayed on earth for another 116 years and 2 months.
So, in our own interest, we should stop with Srimad Bhagavatham to know about Krishna’s Lilas.
Trying to know beyond that will lead us to many Fake Stories on Radharani & Krishna.
It may also be offensive that can hinder our devotional growth.
Focus more on the Vaidhi Bhakti and develop YOUR OWN CUSTOMIZED FORM OF PREMA for Krishna in the customized way you feel.
