Shri Raadhaa Stotram

From a conversation between Shrila Brahma and Shrila Narada in the Brahmanda Purana



grihe raadhaa vane raadhaa raadhaa prishthe purah sthitaa

yatra yatra sthita raadhaa raadhaaivaaraadhyate mayaa (1)

 



Radha is in the home, Radha is in the forest, and She is both behind and before me. I worship the all-pervading Radhaji, wherever She is present.

SRI VASUDEVA UPANISAD



1 Om. The great sage Narada bowed down before the Supreme

Personality of Godhead, Lord Vasudeva and asked: O Lord, please

world of Vaikuntha. Because every day the gopis… Continue

By the way the Janma tithi vidhi is for Janmastami I have read it before, I will do some research from Hari Bhakti Vilasa

about Pancamrta, when it says sugar this is obviously not white (demoniac) sugar like in the west but some high class stuff .Srila Prabhupada never mentioned to have abhisekam like on Janamstami every day.I can understand if you do it on Janmastami or Visnutattva days? Every day you do this…

How could Jaya and Vijya just have returned to Vaikuntha ---? They are in Goloka Vrindavan dancing with Lord Caitanya, they got cursed by the 4 kumaras but it was a blessing so they could join Lord Caitanya, lets pray for their mercy as did Bhaktivinoda Thakura .How could they have returned to be doorkeepers in Vaikuntha ,they would have always longed for the Golden form of Lord…

Krsna has stated clearly in Bhagavad Gita ,demigodworship is not wanted
