About this deal

Outside India: There are multiple temples dedicated to Radha Krishna which are established by Iskcon organization and Swaminarayan Sampradaya in all the prominent cities of the world. The Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple at Radha Madhav Dham in Austin, Texas, USA, established by Kripalu Maharaj, is one of the largest Hindu Temple complexes in the Western Hemisphere and the largest in North America. [174] [175] [176]

Since the 15th century CE in Bengal and Assam flourished Tantric Vaishnava-Sahajiya tradition inspired by Bengali spiritual poet Chandidas, where Krishna is the inner divine aspect of man and Radha is the aspect of woman. [82] [83] Prakashanand Saraswati (2001). The True History and the Religion of India: A Concise Encyclopedia of Authentic Hinduism. Motilal Banarsidass Publ. pp.666–. ISBN 978-81-208-1789-0. Radha ( Sanskrit: राधा, IAST: Rādhā), also called Radhika, is a Hindu goddess and the chief consort of the god Krishna. She is the goddess of love, tenderness, compassion, and devotion. In scriptures, Radha is mentioned as the avatar of Lakshmi [12] [13] and also as the Mūlaprakriti, the Supreme goddess, who is the feminine counterpart and internal potency ( hladini shakti) of Krishna. [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] Radha accompanies Krishna in all his incarnations. [19] [20] Radha's birthday is celebrated every year on the occasion of Radhashtami. [21] [22] which means "I ceaselessly praise Radha who is none other than Krishna, and Sri Krishna who is none other than Radha, whose unity is represented by the Kaamabeeja and who are forever resident in Nikunja Goloka Vrindavana."

The Nimbarka Sampradaya worship the youthful form of Krishna, alone or with his consort Radha, is one of the earliest dating at least to the 12th century CE, just as Rudra Sampradaya does. [67] [11] [26] According to Nimbarkacharya, a founder of the sampradaya, Radha is the eternal consort and wedded wife of Krishna, who lives forever with him in Goloka. [21] [68] [69] Nimbarka's philosphical position is dualistic monism and he centered all his devotion to Krishna and his consort Radha. [21]

Vemsani 2016, p.222: "The Devibhagvata purana and Padma purana describe Radha's cosmological role as Prakriti and Shakti" In Krishnaism, Krishna is referred to as Svayam Bhagavan [11] and Radha is illustrated as the primeval potency of the three main potencies of God, Hladini (immense spiritual bliss), Sandhini (eternality), and Samvit (existential consciousness), of which Radha is an embodiment of the feeling of love towards Krishna ( Hladini). [12] [13] In Barsana - Shri Radha Rani Temple (Shreeji temple), Rangeeli Mahal (Kirti Mandir), Shri Maan Mandir (Maan Garh) The date of Chandidas poem Srikrsnakirtana is still under question however the text remains one of the most important evidences of early portrayal of the popular story of "Lord Krishna's love for the cowherd girl Radha" in Bengali literature and religion. The 412 songs of Srikrsnakirtana are divided into thirteen sections that represent the core of the Radha-Krishna legendary cycle, with many variants providing excellent comparative material. The manuscript clearly suggests that the songs were meant to be song, and implies particular ragas for the recitation. There is considerable debate as to the authenticity of the text that has significant religious meaning. [84] Warkari Tradition [ edit ]Kripal, Jeffrey J. (1998). "Review of Devī: Goddesses of India".
