On Radha Ashtami, also known as Radha Jayanti, the Goddess of unwavering devotional love, Radha Rani, was born. Exactly fifteen days after Janmashtami, on the eighth day of the month of Bhadrapada (Shukla Paksha), this religious celebration is held.
Radha is the adored Gopi of Krishna who is mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana in the Vaishnava devotional or bhakti tradition. She is not just Krishna’s mistress but also the goddess of devotion, the path that leads to the ultimate emancipation and spiritual love for all souls.
Because Lord Krishna spread this spiritual message throughout this hallowed country and because Radha and Krishna represent the ideal fusion of wisdom and love, the event is especially meaningful to followers in Kurukshetra.
