bhajami radham aravinda netram smarami radham madhura smitasyam

vadami radham karunabharardram tato mamanyasti gatir na kapi
"I worship lotus-eyed Radha, I remember Radha with Her sweet smile on
Her countenance, I speak of Radha, who melts of compassion. Thus I have
no other shelter."
Radha and Krishna are the divine couple that rules love, romance and the
aesthetic sense. Radha was foremost among the milkmaids of Vrindavan, as
the She Herself expands as Lakshmi, Vishnu's spouse and Krishna's obvious
favorite.
Sri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is stated in the

Svetasvatara Upanishad (6.8) "The Supreme Lord has multipotencies,
which act so perfectly that all consciousness, strength and activity are
being directed solely by His will". The material world, where we are now
living, is called bahir-anga-sakti, the external energy of Krishna. Krishna
explains in the Bhagavad-Gita (9.10): "Under My superintendence the
material energy is working". Apart from the material, external energy, there
is another energy - the internal energy. By the internal energy the spiritual
world is being manifested. As the material world is manipulated under the
external energy, the spiritual world is conducted by the internal potency.
That internal potency, called the Hladini Sakti, is Srimati Radharani.
In CC Adi 1.5 it is said "The loving affairs of Sri Radha and Krishna are
transcendental manifestations of the Lord's internal pleasure-giving
potency. Although Radha and Krishna are one in Their identity, They
separated Themselves eternally". Srimati Radharani, as the highest
devotee of Sri Krishna, derives the greatest pleasure in serving Him. She is
the origin of all the Gopis and of all the Goddesses of Fortune (Lakshmi
devi) who are engaged in the service of the Lord. She is the mainstay, the
ideal and the ultimate refuge of all devotees embarking on the path of
devotional service. Without first getting the mercy of Srimati Radharani it is
impossible to even approach Sri Krishna.
The Hare Krishna maha-mantra is in fact a prayer to Srimati Radharani.
The word 'Hare' is derived from 'Hara' which denotes the internal energy or
Hladini Sakti of Krishna. This is none other that Srimati Radharani. When
one is chanting the maha-mantra, one is saying: "O Krishna ! O Radha !!
Please engage me in your devotional service". Krishna is difficult to
approach directly, but He is bhakta-vatsala, always eager to please His
devotees. Thus the mood of a devotee is to invoke the compassion of
Srimati Radharani Who then recommends the devotee to Sri Krishna.
Since Krishna is easily pleased by Srimati Radharani, He then readily
accepts the devotee in His service.
Thus, This Upanishada which belongs to Atharva Veda describes the

Unique position of Shrimati Radharani.
In describing Srimati Radharani, it is also said in the Vidagdha-

madhava (1.32) by Rupa Gosvami, "The beauty of Srimati Radharani's eyes
forcibly devours the beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty
of Her face surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her
bodily luster seems to place even gold in a painful situation. Thus the
wonderful, unprecedented beauty of Srimati Radharani is awakening
Vrindavana."
"Although the effulgence of the moon is brilliant initially at night, in the daytime
it fades away. Similarly, although the lotus is beautiful during the daytime, at
night it closes. But, O My friend, the face of My most dear Srimati Radharani
is always bright and beautiful, both day and night. Therefore, to what can Her
face be compared?" (Vidagdha-madhava 5.20)
There is much more to be known about Srimati Radharani, but this should
suffice for now. Thus, the spiritual exchange of divine love between Radha
and Krishna is the display of the internal energy of the Lord, and is very
confidential and difficult to understand. No materialist can begin to understand
this topic of the relationship between Radharani and Lord Krishna. But the
more we awaken our dormant love for God, which is natural state of being for
a fully awakened soul, then the more we can comprehend and actually enter
into such spiritual loving exchanges.
