Audio. Sri Radhastami, Vrindavan, 1999. Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj explains that Radhastami is when Lord Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead's divine potency Radharani appears in a form for playing with the Lord. Srila Swarup Damodar Goswami said, "For the divine play of the Sweet Absolute, He wants to divide Himself as Power and Powerful, and that is Radha Krishna." When it was manifested we cannot say because it is eternal, it cannot be counted by our time and space theory, it is achintya, inconceivable. Radharani is the divine potency of Lord Krishna and She is giving all the happiness, love and all the affection to everyone for the service of Lord Krishna.

Srimati Radharani."

Audio: Sri Radhastami Discourse 2004 by Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj.
"Everything you want to know, you can understand through your Gurudev.
And Gurudev's position is always supreme. In the Scriptures it is said,
(sloka) 'If Krishna will be angry, Gurudev can save that person,
Radharani can save that person. But if Radharani will be angry, Krishna
cannot save him.' (Sloka). Then our protection, our environment -
everything - through Radharani's mercy if it will come to us we will be
so grateful, so fortunate and so good practitioners. We are practising
service to Radha Krishna, and that is called Krishnanushilana:
practising the procedure of satisfying Radharani and Sri Krishna."
