The Birth Of Radha Rani
Scriptures describe that on Bhadrapada Shukla Ashtami, Radha Rani was born to King Vrishabhanu and Queen Kirti. According to legend, her birth occurred on the banks of the Yamuna river on a lotus. When Radha was born, her eyes were closed; it was only when Krishna visited that she opened them for the first time. This story highlights that Radha’s first and eternal sight was of Krishna, signifying their inseparable spiritual bond.
The Divine Love Of Radha And Krishna
Radha and Krishna’s love transcends worldly desires. It represents the union of the soul with the Supreme. Krishna is the ultimate Brahman, and Radha embodies blissful devotion. Just as a lamp is incomplete without its flame, Krishna is incomplete without Radha. Devotees always chant “Radhe-Krishna” or “Radhe-Shyam,” for Krishna’s name without Radha is considered incomplete. Radha’s love is entirely selfless, free from expectation or personal gain.
