Radhashtmi 2026

Posted by Aditi on September 17, 2026 at 6:52pm in Bhakti, Scriptures, and Personal

Hare Krishna to all the Mataji's and Prabhuji's 

I'm a non-initiated devotee and since on 19th September 2026, our most beloved Radha Rani's birthday is coming. I want to ask that how to keep the fast for Radhashtmi. Since different sampradaya follows different methods of fasting, and I'm not currently initiated into any.. I'm really confused about fasting timings that if I should keep it till noon or like ekadashi the whole day. 

I would be really grateful for your guidance..

Radhe radhe!!

    Hare Krsna dear mataji,

    PAMHO.

    There will be differences in the sampradayas. It is on you to choose and decide which sampradaya you would like to follow.

    We are Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaishnav sampradaya. We fast till noon on Radha Ashtami. The foods that Radharani likes is - Arbi, Chikoo and Rabri. We try to offer these to Her on this day.

    Happy Radha Ashtami celebrations.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Radha Rasamayi DD
