31 Aug 2025 midday – Sri Radhashtami (Hindi) | Brisbane, Australia | Srila BV Vana Maharaja

* In Goloka Vrndavana, the Divine Couple performs sweet lilas. Therefore, the transcendental world is known as ananda-mayi-dham.
* Krsna creates all living entities with His jiva-sakti and the material world with His maya-sakti.
* Birth and appearance are different. Krsna appeared in Kamsa’s prison, but was born from the womb of Yasoda.
* Nanda Maharaja’s wife has two names: Yasoda and Devaki.
* ⁠Radha is the complete potency, and Krsna, the possessor of the potency, is revealed in the verse: rādhā — pūrṇa-śakti, kṛṣṇa — pūrṇa-śaktimān… (CC Adi-lila 4.96). They are always together.
* Srimati Radhika appears in different places in different kalpas, but in this kalpa, She appeared in Raval.
* Srimati Radhika is the embodiment of ananda, bliss.
* Srimati Radhika’s eyes are blue because Her first vision was Krsna.
* Even those who want to merge into brahman, if they hear krsna-katha, will give up that tendency.
* Srimati Radhika is hladini-sakti Herself: She appeared to please Krsna.
