Sambandha (knowledge about the relationship), abhidheya (the process) and prayojana (our ultimate goal).
Madhana Mohana is the Deity who presides over sambandha, Govinda Devi presides over abhidheya, Gopinatha is the Deity who presides over prayojana, and Radha Ramana is the union of these Three Deities.
The Deity of Radha Ramana is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself.
