*Happy Radhastami to our readers. May you be blessed by Srimati Radharani.*

 

In Honor of Srimati Radharani A Radhastami special (September 21, 2015):

"We have assembled a series of ten photos and quotes to help you meditate on the glories of Srimati Radharani on Her Blessed Appearance Day. A special feature of this collection is that all the pictures are of Radharani in Vancouver, where our personal all-time favorite Deities reside. Please enjoy. Jaya Radhe!

 

25 Transcendental Qualities of Srimati Radharani (September 21, 2015):

"Srimati Radharani has twenty-five transcendental qualities, and She can control even Krishna by them. Her transcendental qualities are as follows."

 

Srimati Radharani's Appearance Day Lecture (September 21, 2015):

"Now today is our Radhastami ceremony. So, so far Radharani, Radharani, today is the birthday of Srimati Radharani. Radharani is the pleasure potency of Krishna. Krishna is the Supreme Brahman. Just try to understand."

 

Deities #712 Srimati Radharani, Vrindavan, India (September 20, 2015):

"Sri Krishna continued: 'All the inhabitants of Vrindavana-dhama -- My mother, father, cowherd boy friends and everything else -- are like My life and soul. And among all the inhabitants of Vrindavana, the gopis are My very life and soul. Among the gopis, You, Srimati Radharani, are the chief. Therefore You are the very life of My life.'"

This is my favorite quote about Radharani (especially the underlined part):

 

"Radharani is hari-priya, 'very dear to Krishna.' Through the mercy of Radharani we can easily approach Krishna. If Radharani recommends, 'This devotee is very nice,' then Krishna immediately accepts me, however great a fool I may be. Because I am recommended by Radharani, Krishna accepts me. Therefore in Vrndavana you'll find all the devotees chanting Radharani's name more than Krishna's. Wherever you'll go, you'll find the devotees greeting one another, 'Jaya Radhe!' You'll find this still in Vrndavana. The devotees are glorifying Radharani. If you go by the speculative process to understand Krishna, it will take many, many lives. But if you take to devotional service and just try to please Radharani, Krishna will be gotten very easily."

 

(Srila Prabhupada lecture, September 18, 1969)

 

Maybe there's hope for me yet!

Haribol Tamoji,

How goes the battle?  Hope things are going all right for you.

I had a chance to look at your home page at the library -- wow, you really outdid yourself on Radhastami.  Thanks very much.  What a professional looking job.  You're really getting topnotch, Prabhu.  Lovely.

Well, today is the first day of Fall.  The pope arrives.  Oh brother, why do we have to endure all this you-know-what?  Let's hope there's enough devotional energy from all the Vaisnavas around the world chanting Hare Krishna to at least hold all that stuff back.  I need more time to try and make some spiritual baby steps. 

Anyway, you're doing a grand job, Prabhu.  Stay strong and healthy -- as much as you can.  We need you around for a long time to come.  You're one of the last good men standing.

Ys, Padmapani das
