Why Iskcon gives preference to Radharani over Rukmini and Satyabama > especially when She is not Krishna's wife? How far is it right to worship > and glorify Krishna and Radha together ? Radharani is glorified in the Puranas as the Supreme Energy. She is the source of the Gopis and the Queens of Dvaraka. Rukmini and Satyabhama are expansions of Radharani. In the spiritual world Parakiya Rasa is considered more elevated than Sakiya rasa therefore Radharani doesn't openly marry Lord Sri Krishna, but actually during the period when Lord Brahma stole the cowherd boys Lord Sri Krishna expanded Himself as all the cowherd boys and married all the Gopis so actually they are all His wives. However, for the sake of lila it is a higher expression of love to abandon social norms so that environment was allowed to be created by Lord Sri Krishna to increase the loving intensity.
