In a few days we will celebrate Radhaji’s happy birthday.
Srimati Radhika is our heart and soul, She is our Istadevi.
Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami says that Srimati Radhika is our Isvari, and we worship Krsna because She worships Him. This is the Gaudiya Vaisnava conception.
Srimati Radhika is Krsna’s pleasure potency, hladini-sakti. She is purna-sakti (complete potency).
Krsna is purna-saktiman (complete holder of potency).
All scriptures give evidence of purna-sakti Radha and purna-saktiman Krsna.
Radha manifests Herself in the form of Lalita and Lalita gives Radha many advices not to give up Her maan.
The gopis are many and all of them are manifestations of Radha for the variety of Krsna’s satisfaction.
About the svakiya and parakiya moods of the gopis: mugdha (young), madhya (adolescent) and pragalbha nayikas (mature).
Some gopis think they are married to Krsna, and others think they are married to other gopas.
Detailed description of the types of heroines in which Radha expands in a total of 360 nayikas (heroines).
Parakiya-bhava is not possible in the material world, only in Vrndavana.
