Radha Ashtami 2021 Date
September 14, 2021 - Tuesday
Shri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is expressed in the Svetasvatara Upanishad (6.8) 'The Supreme Lord has multipotencies, which act so consummately that all cognizance, quality and movement are continuously guided exclusively by His will'. The material world, where we are presently living, is called bahir-anga-sakti, the outer vitality of Krishna.
Krishna demonstrates in the Bhagavad-Gita (9.10): 'Under My superintendence the material vitality is working'. Apart from the material, outer vitality, there is an alternate vitality - the inward vitality. By the inner vitality the otherworldly world is constantly showed. As the material world is controled under the outer vitality, the profound world is directed by the inward power. That inward strength, called the Hladini Sakti, is Srimati Radharani.
In CC Adi 1.5 it is said "The adoring issues of Sri Radha and Krishna are transcendental appearances of the Lord's inner delight giving power. In spite of the fact that Radha and Krishna are one in Their personality, They differentiated Themselves endlessly".
Srimati Radharani, as the most astounding enthusiast of Sri Krishna, determines the best joy in serving Him. She is the starting point of every last one of Gopis and of every last one of Goddesses of Fortune (Lakshmi devi) who are occupied with the administration of the Lord.
She is the pillar, the perfect and a definitive asylum of all enthusiasts setting out on the way of reverential administration. Without first getting the kindness of Srimati Radharani it is difficult to even approach Sri Krishna.
The Hare Krishna maha-mantra is actually a petition to God to Srimati Radharani. The expression "Bunny" is inferred from "Hara" which signifies the interior vitality or Hladini Sakti of Krishna. This is none other than Srimati Radharani. At the point when one is droning the maha-mantra, one is stating: "O Krishna ! O Radha !! Kindly captivate me in your reverential administration".
Krishna is troublesome to approach straightforwardly, yet He is bhakta-vatsala, constantly willing to satisfy his lovers. Along these lines the mind-set of a fan is to conjure the empathy of Srimati Radharani Who then prescribes the aficionado to Sri Krishna. Since Krishna is effectively satisfied by Srimati Radharani, He then promptly acknowledges the lover in his administration.
