There is a concept that Ashta Sakhi of Vrindavana took reincarnation as Ashta Bhaaryaa of Dwaraka. The believers of this concept say that Satyabhama was Radha.

Yep.

Rukmini is Chandravali, and Lalitha is Jambavathi.

That is Rupa Goswami's beliefs. He got it from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is said to have Shri Krishna's body, but Radharani's heart.

Aren't their 8 forms of lakshmi? The ashta lakshmi as we call them. Ashtabharya can be each an avatar of each of the lakshmis too.

Tha- Yes, Shri and Bhu are the same, in my opinion. They are one and the same, to attain one, one must understand the other. Disrespect to Shri is disrespect to Bhu and vice versa.

There are.

But Rukmini and Bhama are Shridevi and Bhudevi, and hence, they have the qualities of all the Bharya. The most common concept is Rukmini is Shri, Bhama is Bhu and the other wives are various forms of MahaLakshmi

I have a take on the Bharya thing here.

So, I am of the opinion that while they all are eight forms of Lakshmi, with Rukmini and Bhama being Shri and Bhu, I also think they weren't exclusive of each other. Bhama displayed characteristics of Shri when required, Rukmini of Bhu. The same with all the Bharya. They all were ansh of Lakshmi, while Rukmini was predominantly Shri and Bhama, mainly Bhu.

That is the most common concept of the Bharya.

Each is Radhey, each is Sita. All are the same, yet not.

Radhey is PurnaMahaLakshmi, so yes, I think, collectively all of them formed Radhey and Sita. 😳

They do 😳

On a different note, let us discuss the avatar of Kaliyuga Varadhan.

Bhu, I love your version of the Parijatha Haranam story. 👏

I have a similar theory, with just a slight difference.

It is said that Satyabhama was blessed with eternal youth and beauty, and while Rukmini was equally beautiful, she did not have that same boon, and thus according to the laws of humanity, she would age with time. Since Shri and Bhu are the same, Rukmini too had to receive that boon and thus, Lord Krishna gave her the parijatha flower.

It's the same theory of Shri-Bhu equality as yours, but in a slightly different way.
