Sri Radhashtami Celebrations

[ISKCON Sacramento]

Dear Friends,

Hare Krishna! You are invited with family and friends to join the Sri Radhastami celebrations this Sunday Sep 12th, 2021 starting 5:00 PM, at Ashton Park, 4251 Ashton Dr, Sacramento, CA 95864.

Radhashtami is celebrated on the eighth day of the bright fortnight (shukla paksha ashtami) in the month of Bhadra (August – September). It is a very significant festival for the devotees. On this auspicious day devotees pray to Her to bless them with Krishna-bhakti. The best worshipper and most beloved devotee of Lord Krishna is Srimati Radharani, She appears in this world in Varsana in the home of Vrsabhanu Maharaha and Kirtida. She is the center of many of the loving pastimes of Sri Krishna and the cowherd damsels of Vrndavana. 

The complete conception of God includes God and His energies, which exist simultaneously with Him and are in a sense identical to Him. The sum of Krishna's energies is Radha, His eternal consort.

"Radharani is a tenderhearted feminine counterpart of the supreme whole, resembling the perfectional stage of the worldly feminine nature. Therefore, the mercy of Radharani is available very readily to the sincere devotees, and once She recommends such a devotee to Lord Krishna, the Lord at once accepts the devotee's admittance into His association." —Srila Prabhupada, Bhagavatam 2.3.23
