PRAY TO RADHARANI

His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Today is Srimati Radharani's birthday, Radhasthami. So we called you
for a meeting. Radharani is the source of spiritual inspiration. Our
request to everyone present here today is that you should pray to
Radharani. This word hare or harA indicates Radharani. This repetition
of addressing Radha and Krishna or Hare Krishna is to pray, "My dear
Lord, and spiritual energy of the Lord, kindly engage me in your
service. I am now embarrassed to be engaged with this material
service. Please engage me in your service." This is good sense. We are
servants here. We are engaged in so many services. But it is not
giving us comfort.

Krishna is paraM brahman. He cannot enjoy anything material. He has to
create the source of enjoyment by his own spiritual potency. That is
Radharani. Radharani is described in the zAstra:
rAdhA-kRSNa-praNayavikRtir hlAdinI-zaktir asmAd (Cc. &#257;di 1.5). She is
Krishna's hlAdinI-zakti, she gives pleasure to Krishna. Today is
Radhasthami. If we pray to Srimati Radharani she will be kind.
Therefore in Vrindavan everywhere you will hear, "Jaya Radhe!" If
Radharani is pleased with you then you will be able to approach
Krishna very easily. That is the goal of our life.
vIta-rAga-bhaya-krodhA man-mayA mAm upAzritA — You cannot take
shelter of Krishna directly. You have to take shelter of His potency
(Bg. 4.10).

— Lecture in Calcutta, September 1974.
