WHETHER KRISHNA CAN BE WORSHIPPED WITHOUT RADHA?

The proper means to worship KrshNa is only through obtaining the divine grace of RAdhA. One who strives for the divine association of KrshNa without first unconditionally  surrendering to the lotus feet of RAdhA is like one who wants to enjoy the beauty of Full Moon on a night which is not a full moon night. One who has not tasted RAdhA prema rasa will not be able to enjoy a drop of nectar in spite of the availability of the vast divine nectar ocean.

râdhâ-dâsyam-apâsya yah prayatate govinda-sangâshayâ
so’yam purna-sudhâ-rucheh parichayam râkâm vinâ kânkshati.
kincha shyâma-rati-pravâha-lahari-beejan na ye tâm viduste
prâpyâpi marmita-ambudhim-aho bindum param prâpnuyuh.

जय जय  श्रीराधे
