This is one of most asked question from the general crowd as well as seekers beginning their journey in spirituality. Did Radha and Krishna marry?

The inner confidential meaning of Bhagavan or God
Parasara Muni describes Krishna as Bhagavan in Vishu Purana (6.5.47) – aishvaryasya samagrasya. Aishvarya means opulence and revered qualities of somebody. Parasara Muni is calling Krishna as the owner of 6 opulence – wealth, beauty, fame, knowledge, strength and renunciation. We will get back to what is special about these 6 qualities very shortly.

Who are Rasika Vaishnavas?
Rasika Vaishnavas are exalted saints who have achieved the stage of prema-bhakti. They have elevated themselves to the asakti (attachment to the Lotus Feet of Krishna and Radharani) stage by their own endeavour of lalsa (desire), lobha (greed) and desperation to attain topmost spiritual perfection, and then achieved the stage of complete prema-bhakti by kripa […]
The inner confidential Vrindavan mood of Panchtattva & how to use this big secret to do intense rasamayi bhajan?
The Panchtattva – Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita Acharya, Gadhadhara Pandit and Srivas Acharya are most merciful. Mahaprabhu is the audarya (most magnanimous) avatar of Krishna who gives vraj-prema-bhakti to everybody without seeing any qualification at all!

Radharani is our Queen (Swamini). She is our beginning, middle and end. Feb 17: Today started on a funny note. The pigeons (whose tuu tuuu sound usually wakes me up in the morning) didn’t listen to my Radhe Radhe instructions and rather started making a louder sound instead (For those who didn’t understand this, please […]
I am full of material conditioning namely lust, greed, pride, envy and ego. Am I worthy to take shelter of Krishna?
Rasika Acharyas give a very interesting answer to this. If one is free of illness, is he required to go to hospital? Nope, Isn’t it? Hospital is meant to cure people of illness. Likewise, we give our clothes to the dhobi (washerman) only when it becomes dirty. Similarly, owing to our conditioning of birth after […]

Had heard from Rasika Acharyas that there are two types of devotees in regards to surrender on Krishna. One of them is of types, “I will do this today for Krishna, I will do that tomorrow for Krishna.” They will plan their entire life, make stories and whatnot. But the second type of surrender as […]
