Sri Sri Radha Vrindavana-chandra |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2011 10:57 AM PDT  Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. She appeared on the eighth day of the bright fortnight in the month of Bhadra (August – September) fifteen days after the birth of Lord Sri Krishna. She was found in a field by Maharaja Vrushabhanu, along with his wife Kirtida Sundari, became her foster parents. All great authorities on devotional science (bhakti yoga) consider Her to be the greatest devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Her devotion is so exalted that even the self-satisfied Supreme Lord Krishna is intensely attracted to Her. Devotees try to follow in Her footsteps in trying to please Lord Krishna. Krishna is considered Her property and only She can deliver the sincere devotee. Thus devotees pray to Her fervently to bless them with Krishna bhakti. On this day, devotees fast till noon. The Deities are offered gorgeous new dresses and ornaments. A spectacular abhisheka or ceremonial bath will be offered to Srimati Radharani and Vrindavan-chandra. The Maha Abhisheka is performed with auspicious items like honey, milk, fruit juices, turmeric water, etc. After the abhisheka, songs extolling Srimati Radharani's wonderful qualities and pastimes with Lord Krishna are sung and arati is performed.  |
