Dear Friends,
You are warmly invited to spend the day with us in honour and glorification of Srimati Radharani. Here are some meditations on Srimati Radharani, Her position, and relationship with Krishna:
“Srimati Radhika is the transformation of Krishna’s love. She is His internal energy called hladini.” Cc. Adi 4.59
“The transcendental goddess Srimati Radharani is the direct counterpart of Lord Sri Krishna. She is the central figure for all the goddesses of fortune. She possesses all the attractiveness to attract the all-attractive Personality of Godhead. She is the primeval internal potency of the Lord.” Cc. Adi 4.83
“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.” Cc. Adi 4.89
