Are radha and Rukmini are both goddess Lakshmi?
Answers
Answer:
Radha is the incarnation of Goddess Laxmi and Rukmini is also an incarnation of Goddess Laxmi as said by the source of Hindu epic 'Mahabharat'. Rukmini is also regarded as the incarnation of Radha in Hindu every, incarnation Laxmi has to be the wife of only Radha as Rukmini married Lord Krishna...
It is also said that there is no mention of Radha in the Vedas but it is said that Radha and Rukmini both were the the incarnations of goddess Lakshmi and were the favourite of Krishna..
They are not different at all. Rukmini is just spiritual representation of Radha. They are one. That's why when Krishna is depicted with Radha we don't see Rukmini and when he is depicted with Rukmini we don't see Radha both in temples and old pictures..
Hope this helps....
