Sri Sri Radha Kunda
"The Skanda Purana states that out of many thousands of gopis, sixteen thousand are predominant; and out of 108 gopis, eight are still more prominent; out of eight gopis Radharani and Candravalli are prominent; and out of these two gopis, Radharani is the most prominent”
“Because Radha possesses all the charm and sweetness, She is the better of the two. In the Sruti-sastra Radharani is known by the name Gandharva-devi. Srimati Radharani considers Sri Krsna millions and millions of times more dear than Her own life’s breath”
"When we compare the gopis, it appears that Srimati Radharani is most important because Her real feature expresses the highest ecstasy of love. The mahabhava (ecstasy of love) experienced by the other gopis cannot be compared to that of Sri Radha. Radharani is the very form of ecstatic love for Sri Krsna who says: “The happiness I feel when meeting Radharani is a hundred times greater than the happiness I get from meeting others”.
