Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. Five thousand
years ago, when Lord Krishna came to this planet to perform His
pastimes, Srimati Radharani also appeared. This year we celebrate her
appearance on September 15. This special day is known as Radhashtami.
The following is adapted from a lecture by His Holiness Varshana Swami:
“On a half-moon night in the month of Bhadra, King Vrishabhanu came to
the Jamuna to bathe and found himself engulfed in a golden aura, the
golden aura of pure love. It was emanating from a lotus, which had a
baby girl standing on its whorl. When the king returned to the palace
with the baby, Queen Kirtida was delighted. She was also shocked that
the girl was blind.
“Lord Krishna’s mother, Yashoda, heard that her best friend Kirtida had
a baby, so she came to visit along with her husband and her son.
Krishna crawled up to the cradle and pulled Himself up and looked in. At
that moment, Srimati Radharani’s eyes fluttered and opened wide and
blossomed like lotuses. It seems that she did not want to see anything
of this world, only the form of Sri Krishna. Everyone was delighted.
“Srimati Radharani is the mother of the universe, the spiritual mother
of all souls. And the concept of mother is the most sacred symbol—that
of purity, selflessness, caring, sharing, nurturing, and love. That is
why our sacred mantra is the holy names. It is the holy names in the
vocative. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare
Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
“‘Hare’ means ‘Radhe.’ It is a plaintive, desperate cry for the mother.
‘Radhe! Please wake us up from this nightmare of mortal life! Remind us
of the father we have forgotten and take us home!’”
In the Krishna consciousness movement, devotees carefully worship
Srimati Radharani as the bestower of devotional service to Krishna, by
attentively chanting her name in the maha-mantra, by worshiping her
deity form, and by following the instructions of the most merciful Sri
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is the combined form of Radha and Krishna.
“(Therefore) Radha is parama-devata, the supreme goddess, and She
is worshipable for everyone. She is the protectress of all, and She is
the mother of the entire universe.” —Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi 4.89
