Yesterday we celebrated Sri Radhe’s birthday very well!
Song: Radha Krpa Kataksa Stava Raja.
When we glorify Radha, Krsna becomes happy and vice versa.
Story from the Brahma Vivarta Purana in which Brghu Rsi tells Brahma that he wants to understand about Radha-tattva.
The nature of love is to be tortuous, zigzagging.
Verse that glorifies Sri Radha: anayārādhito nūnaṁ… (SB 10.30.28).
When we speak the name of our Guru, our tongue becomes purified. Therefore Sukadeva spoke Radha’s name in the Bhagavatam, but he did so secretly at Her request and in order not to faint.
Sloka revealing that Sri Radha is the primordial potency of the Supreme Lord: devī kṛṣṇa-mayī proktā rādhikā para-devatā… (CC Madhya 23.68).
To be a Gaudiya is an immense good fortune!
Suddha-bhaktas are those who worship Srimati Radhika. She is called Gauri, the Golden Sakti.
Our Worshipful Deity is Srimati Radhika!
Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami beautifully tells Krsna that he desires only the blessings of Sri Radha.
Rupa Gosvami beautifully tells Krsna: viracaya mayi dandam dinabandho… that he desires His blessings.
Radha and Krsna are one and have two bodies to exchange Love!
Song: Radha Kunda Tata.
Manjaris are those who do not meet Krsna separately.
The goal of all sakhis is for Radha and Krsna to meet.
When sakhis meet Krsna separately, they intensify Their Love due to the emergence of maan (angry jealousy).
Radha controls Krsna through Her maan, just as the goad controls the mad elephant.
