Name of Radharani

[Guest guest]

My dear Taruna,

 

the name of Radharani is most auspicious and there are hundreeds and

hundreeds of slokas glorifying Her holy name.

 

But we, as followers of Srila Rupa Goswami, understand the deep pain

Radharani feels in seperation from Krishna. Radharani is non different to

Her name, as is Krishna from His name.

 

Thus we don't call Radhe-Radhe, in other words seperating Her from Krishna,

but we say Hare Krishna (Radha-Krishna), as was examplified by His Divine

Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

 

Even in Vrindavan when someone would meet Srila Prabhupada with the greating

Radhe-Radhe, Srila Prabhupada would always reply Hare Krishna.

 

There is nothing wrong with chanting Radhe-Radhe, it's just a question of

the sentiment. And the sentiment which has been taught to us by our privious

acaryas is that we always worship Radha and Krishna together, not

seperately.

 

I am sure plenty of devotees can quote so many slokas on the wonderful

glories and benefits of chanting of Radharani's name, but our business is to

follow the foot steps of Srila Prabhupada.

We are chanting Radharani's name along with Krishna's - Hare Krishna.

 

Hare Krishna!

 

your servant, Padmalochan Das
