Mystries of the flute - part III

Now the question comes is that what do we understand from Radha Krishna getting unified.                                                        Let’s start from basics. The world is full of trinity or triads. The basic structure that could sustain itself is a Triangle, a triad. Our senses operate on the basis of triads. We see, hear, smell, touch, feel or whatever is sensed or done in the world for sustenance of life - all that exists in triads.
