RADHE KRISHNA🙏
राधे राधे बोल, श्याम भागे चले आएंगे
एक बार आ गए तो कभी नहीं जायेंगे.
Radha, also called Radhika, is a Hindu goddess and the chief consort of the god Krishna. She is worshiped as the goddess of love, tenderness, compassion and devotion. She is the avatar of goddess Lakshmi and is also described as the chief of the Gopis (milkmaids). During Krishna's youth, she appears as his lover and companion. Many traditions and scriptures accord Radha the status of the eternal consort and wife of Krishna. Radha, as a supreme goddess, is considered as the female counterpart and the internal potency (hladini shakti) of Krishna, who resides in Goloka, the celestial abode of Radha Krishna. Radha is said to accompany Krishna in all his incarnations.
BIRTH STORY
Lord Krishna's divine consort, Radha, was born on the eighth day (Ashtami Tithi), Shukla Paksha (bright phase of the Lunar cycle) in the Bhadrapada month.
According to Brahma Vaivart Puran, Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha was a divine couple in their previous life. While some people say that the divine couple here refers to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, others say that this incarnation of theirs is different and not their original forms.
As per recent tale sooner or later, king Vrishabhanu maharajah visited the bank of Yamuna at around hour to take bath. He saw a golden lotus flower floating on the water and shining brilliantly sort of a thousand suns. Vrishabhanu straightaway waded into the watercourse and once he came with regards to the golden lotus flower, he beheld the foremost stunning and effulgent style of female child lying among the petals of the lotus.
At that very same moment, Lord Brahmasuddenly appeared there and speaking in an exceedingly grave voice, knowledgeable Vrishabhanu that in his previous life, Vrishabhanu and his better half Kirtida had performed nice austerities so as to urge the consort of Lord Vishnu as their female offspring. Lord Brahma told Vrishabhanu that this woman was the origin of the immortalMaa Lakshmi images which he ought to take tutelage of Her.
Lord Brahma then placed the female child within the arms of Vrishabhanu who became joyful, and when taking permission from Lord Brahma, came to his home. Seeing the attractive female child shining like a lot of autumnal moons, mother Kirtida was overcome with joy and straightaway organized for every kind of spiritual rites to be performed and given thousands of cows to the brahmanas.
At that time baby Radhika was placed in a gem-studded cradle and gently rocked back and forth by all the little girls of the village. Day by day Her luster increased just like the digits of the moon.
Within a short while it was observed that the baby girl made no noise and had not yet opened Her eyes. Vrishabhanu and his wife feared that their baby girl was perhaps blind from birth and also dumb. At that time, Shrila Narada Muni visited the home of Vrishabhanu and informed him that regardless of the girl’s apparent blindness, they should continue with the birth celebrations. Vrishabhanu therefore made elaborate arrangements for a lavish birth celebration and sent out invitations to all the residents of Ravala and Gokula and especially to his dear friend Nanda Maharaja and his family.
On the appointed day, the guests had assembled and the birth celebrations were going on in great jubilation. Nanda Maharaja and Yashoda Mayi had arrived with Rohini and also brought their small children Krishna and Balarama. Kirtida met with Yashoda and told her that she was very happy to have such a beautiful daughter, but was feeling rather distraught because her child was both dumb and blind.
Krishna had just passed His first birthday and was happily crawling around the courtyard on His hands and knees. Arriving at the cot in which Radhika was lying, Krishna held on to the sides and managed to lift himself up, He then peered into the cot where His gaze fell upon the beautiful moon-like face of baby Radhika.
As soon as baby Radhika smelt the exotic fragrance of Krishna’s transcendental body, She immediately opened Her eyes for the very first time, and looked directly at Krishna, who was the first person that She had ever seen. As Krishna gazed lovingly at baby Radhika, He began smiling ecstatically. Radhika then suddenly began to cry and for the very first time she made a sound. Vrishabhanu and Kirtida, along with all the assembled Vrajavasis, were overjoyed to find out that their beloved daughter Radhika, was not blind nor dumb after all.
