Radha Govind and Radha Madhav

Posted by krishna dasi on September 21, 2016 at 3:17pm in Krishna

Hare Krishna

Dandvat Pranam to all Vaishnavas.

I am about to setup my altar as per the Iskcon standard. I live in Kolkata and was about to get the photo of Radha Krishna. Then someone told me that in the Kolkata temple, they are Radha Govinda where in Mayapur, they are Radha Madhav.

I am wondering are they different in meaning, appearance and qualities ?

      I am very grateful for such a nice explanation - I have understood the concept/essence of this.

      Thank you for the nice explanation.

      I have one doubt - in Mayapur , they say He is Radha Madhav, (there Krishna is black in color), whereas in Kolkata temple, He is Radha Govind.

      I can understand that He is the same personality of Godhead everywhere.
