Summary: I have selected a few drops from the ocean of nectar which glorify the position of Srimati Radharani and the means of achieving her favor. The first quote was selected because it presents non-Puranic accounts, ie. quotes from the Upanisads (see Quote #1) recognizing Radharani for her super-excellence even amongst the forms of the Lord's internal potency, the goddess of Fortune. Although the Upanisad's address her by name, Radha is not directly identified by name in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
Here we find the rules and regulations for observing Kartik plus additional explanation of Damodarastakam Prayer which should be sung and deeply meditated upon everyday during Radhika's holy month, as well as other useful information that will help us to be absorbed in the mellows of love for Sri Damodar.

It was 500 years ago that Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu predicted that the holy names of Krishna would be chanted in every town and village throughout the world. His Divine Grace. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada appeared in this world just to fulfill the divine prophecy of Lord Chaitanya.
Acting on the order of Lord Chaitanya, Rupa and Sanatana Goswamis established Vrindavana as a sacred place of pilgrimage for the devotees of Lord Krishna. However, the people outside India had heard nothing abou

Srimati Radharani by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami |

Knowledge about Srimati Radharani, Her relationship with Krishna, Her relationships with Her sakhis and gopi manjaris is expanded throughout the confidential literatures of Gaudiya Vaisnavism. In recent years these books are becoming more accessible to English speaking readers. We are becoming more aware, at least theoretically, that devotion to Srimati Radharani is the topmost expression of Krishna consciousness. |

Before Srila Prabhupada came to the Western countries nobody knew that there existed an eternal and transcendental place called Sri Navadvipa Dham. In Srila Prabhupada’s pranam mantra:
“namas te Sarasvati deve Goura Vani Pracharine Nirvisesha Sunyavadi Pascatya desha Tarine”
means that “by preaching Mahaprabhu’s vani (instructions)” he is delivering the ‘pascatya desa’ western countries from impersonalism and nihilism.”

I MIGHT BE A PAUPER and enjoy coming to talk with you, but even if I were the richest man in the world, I might still enjoy a simple talk. Especially if I were a very great man, it would not be difficult for me to spend a little time with my own chosen friends. Similarly, Krishna’s being the Supreme Lord, infinite and inconceivably great in every way, does not inhibit His wanting to enjoy simple relationships. Although the greatest person, He likes to enjoy a little sport, some friends, a bit o
| The Glories of Govardhan |  |
The Vedic scriptures proclaim that the glories of Lord Krishna are unlimited and eternal and no one is able to reach the end of them. In the same way, who can fully describe the splendid glories of Sri Giriraja-Govardhana, the best servant of the Lord and at the same time non-different from the Lord Himself? To protect his dear vrajavasis from Indra’s wrath, Sri Krishna held the Hill on the small finger of His divine hand for seven days. The area of Govardhan is full of w

Prabhupada: So without this faith, nobody can achieve the association of Krsna. There are two things. You become associate of Krsna, or you become associate of this material world. So if you do not become associate of Krsna, then the next step is this association of material world. And association of material world means accepting one type of body and enjoy or suffer for some time; then you get another body. Mrtyu-samsara-vartmani [Bg. 9.3]. Now we have to make our choice, whether you want to st
SB 4.26.7 Purport
Marriage means taking complete charge of a woman and living peacefully without debauchery. At the present moment, however, debauchery is unrestricted. Nonetheless, society makes a law that one should not marry more than one wife. This is typical of a demoniac society.
SB 4.21.46 Purport
According to the Vedic version, there is a hellish planet called Put, and one who delivers a person from there is called putra. The purpose of marriage, therefore, is to have a putra, or son who
