""I offer my respects to Rādhārāṇī, whose bodily complexion is like molten gold and who is the Queen of Vṛndāvana. You are the daughter of King Vṛṣabhānu, and You are very dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa.""

We celebrate the appearance of Shreemati Radharani as Radhashtami. About 5000 years ago, Shreemati Radharani appeared to Shree Vrishabhanu Maharaj and Shreemati Kirtida mataji, when Lord Shree Krishna appeared in Shree Vrindavan Dham to perform His pastimes. 

Lord Shree Krishna is the total embodiment of love of all the living beings. One can have a loving relationship with lord Shree Krishna  as faithful servant, sincere friend, affectionate parent or passionate conjugal lover. He unfailingly reciprocates. 

The young Gopis of Vrindavana were so much attracted to Him that they could not imagine life without Him. Foremost among those Gopis was Shreemati Radharani- the eternal consort of Lord Shree Krishna and the most exalted devotee as well.

She is His Shakti or ‘Potency’.  She expands herself as the Queens of Lord Vasudeva (including Shreemati Rukmini  and Shreemati Satyabhama) as well as Goddess Lakshmi, eternal consort of Lord Shree Narayana and ably assist Him in His pastimes. She is the mother of the universe, the spiritual mother of all souls. 

Without the mercy of Shreemati Radharani, it is extremely difficult to revive our transcendental relationship with Lord Shree Krishna.

When we chant the Maha mantra, the word ‘Hare’ refers to Shreemati Radharani!! We pray to be engaged in the spiritual service of the Lord.

Health permitting, devotees can fast till noon and honor feast prasadam, chant extra rounds of Maha mantra and be Happy!!

Hare Krishna!
