17 July 2025 morning – Sri Radhika’s Name in Srimad-Bhagavatam (English) | New Braj, California, USA

– Vrajavasis enjoy sweet and spicy foods.
– Srimati Radhika is the embodiment of Divine Love.
– The Srimad Bhagavatam is compared to a ripe, sweet, juicy, delicious, peeled fruit that has been pecked at by a parrot (Sukadeva Gosvami), making it even more delicious.
– Radha’s name is Radha-tattva and is completely confidential – prema-maiy-Radha. She is hladini-sakti, the pleasure potency of Krsna.
– ⁠Sloka that reveals the identity of the Supreme Lord: īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ… (Brahma Samhita 5.1).
– ⁠One of the reasons Sukadeva Gosvami did not openly mention Radha’s name in the Srimad Bhagavatam is that he could not bear the longing he felt for Her.
– ⁠The successive stages of Bhakti and Prema.
– ⁠Radha’s mood/feelings are unique, unparalleled.
– ⁠In the Srimad Bhagavatam we find the following beautiful, veiled descriptions of Radha and the gopis: Venu-gita; Pranaya-gita; Gooi-gita; Yugala-gita; and Bhramara-gita.
– ⁠Sukadeva Gosvami was very keen to speak the name of his Guru Sri Radha.
– Sri Radha and Her affection for Her parrot Suka.
– Sri Radha tells Sukadeva not to speak Her name or the names of the gopis during the recitation of Srimad Bhagavatam because many unqualified people would attend and not understand.
– Sloka in which Radha’s name appears confidentially: anayārādhito nūnaṁ bhagavān harir īśvaraḥ… (SB 10.30.28). But there is much other evidence in the sastras.
– Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura reveals his identity, service, age, and dress as Kamala Manjari.
– ⁠Krsna feels eternally indebted to the gopis’ love for Him.
– On the left-wing mood (Radha and Her sakhis) and the mood of submission (Candravali and her sakhis).
