SRI RAADHA RAANI DEVI ; Srimathi Radha Adhiratha

1. Raadha RaaNi is a Goddess. SHE is Lakshmi , Sakthi Amsa Janitha.

She is born in Barsaana near Vrindaavanam . Her father is Vrusha Bhaanu,

a local Chieftain; Her mother is Keerthida. Raadha is Raaseswari , born earlier than Krishna , waiting for Her Paramaathma. Raadha is the symbol of Nishkaama Prema , eternal, pure and unblemished. Her real nature is revealed by Nimbaarkar , a Vaishnavite of Dwaitha-Adwaitha Philosophy.

This Love - Bhakthi Maarg is further propagated by Sri Chaithanya Mahaa Prabhu. Love for Krishna is exemplified by Meera Bai , Sathi sakku Bai ,

Pundareeka , Guruji Sreela Prabhu Paada and many many others.

If RukmiNi stands for pious love , Sathyabhaama stands for egoist love , Draupadi stands for unflinching faith , Akroora stands for pure Bhakthi ,

Sri Raadha RaaNi Devi stands for Immortal boundless selfless Love.

Om Raadha - Krishna Lakshmi NaarayaNabhyam Namha Om.

2 . Raadha is the wife of Sootha Adiratha , a charioteer . Raadha is the foster Mother of KarNa , who is proud to be known as Raadheya and Sootha puthra. Raadha , like Yashoda , is motherhood personified.

A motherhood of selfless affection for Her adopted son . What should have been Her happiness when KarNa became King of Anga Raajya and what should have been Her unsurpassed sorrow at the demise of KarNa. Om Shaanthi. Om Shaanthi . Om Shaanthi.
