Sri Radha Ashtami 

Picture
Sri Radha is Sri Krishna's foremost eternal love. 

It is often argued that we cannot approach or derive blessings from Sri Krishna

without Sri Radharani's approval.


In Skanda Puran Sri Radharani is proclaimed as the best of Sri Krishna's 16,108
Gopis. 

Sri Radharani is the personification of bhakti. Her love for Sri Krishna-ji is total and

unparalleled. None can please Sri Krishna-ji like Sri Radharani.

On the day of Radha Ashtami, Sri Radharani was born in the village of Varsana near

Vrindavan.

Radharani is also said to have made appearance at Radha Kund, which is opposite

Shyam Kund in Vrindravan.
She is referred to by many names, among the most popular are these:
  • Govinda-anandini - She who gives pleasure to Govinda (Sri Krishna)
  • Govinda-mohini - She who mystifies Govinda
  • Govinda-sarvasva - the all-in-all of Lord Govinda
  • Shiromani Sarva-kanta - the crown jewel of all the Lord's consorts
  • Krishnamayi - the one who sees Krishna both within and without
  • Radhika - Her worship of the Lord consists of fulfilling His desires
  • Aradhana - The root name of Radharani, meaning one who excels in worshiping the Lord
  • Sarva-lakshmi - The original source of all the goddesses of fortune
  • Sarva-kanti - all beauty and luster rest in Her body & all the desires of Sri Krishna rest in Her.
  • Madan-Mohan-Mohini - the enchanter of the enchanter of Cupid. Krishna is said to be the enchanter of, and more beautiful than Cupid, the master enchanter. But Radha is the enchanter of Krishna, Madan-Mohan-Mohini.
  • Vrshabanu-nandini - daughter of Vrshabanu
  • Vrndavaneshvari - Queen of Vrindavan
  • Lalita-Sakhi - friend of the gopi Lalita
  • Gokula-Taruni - She whom all young girls of Gokula (Vrindavan) worship
  • Damodara Rati - She who dresses herself to please Damodara [Krishna]
Normal ekadasi type fasts, similar to the one observed for Sri Krishna Janam

Ashtami should be observed.
