SRI RADHASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS – 9th SEPTEMBER 2016 - FRIDAY

Sri  Radha is none other than Sri Mahalakshmi, who out of great compassion, facilitates the individual Self to get the divine grace of the Supreme Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the glorious Yogesvara. According to the Scriptures, the best way to approach Sri Krishna is through first obtaining the boundless grace of Sri Radha. Even a grave sinner gets redemption through her ceaseless divine grace and becomes purified to serve the lotus feet of Sri Radhakrishna.  Let us not miss this opportunity to offer our humble and sincere prayers to the ever fresh and fragrant queen of Brindavan. On this most auspicious Radhashtami  day, may Sri Radha shower Her blessings on all. 

श्रीगोविन्दप्रियां राज्ञीं वृन्दावन मनोहरीम् !

कृपास्वरूपिणीं दिव्यां राधा देवीं नमाम्यहम् !!
माधुर्यरससंपूर्णां माधवमनमोहिनीम् !
महाभावनिमग्नां तां मधुराधां नमाम्यहम् !!

HOLI CELEBRATIONS

The grand festival of Holi is connected with many incidents from the Scriptures.

Hiranyakasipu asked his sister Holika to take Prahlada in her  lap and enter a  huge ball of fire.  As Holika  had the boon that she would not be burnt by fire, Hiranyakasipu tried to kill his son Prahlada through her . But by divine intervention it did not work and Prahlada was saved while Holika died. In remembrance of this  Holika dahan (burning of Holika)  is done .

Krishna applied various colours on Radha and other  Gopis and  all of them enjoyed in  exalted ecstasy.

Ogress Putana  was killed by Krishna on this day.

This day  is also in relation to the episode of   Kamadeva being burnt by Siva while the former attempted to  disturb his meditation.

Ogress Dhundhi  gave a lot of trouble to children in the kingdom of Raghu .  The Children  drove her  away  by their pranks on this day.  Even today Children play many pranks and fling abuses during Holika dahan.

Holi represents joyful  play with colours and waters.

Let us remember the delightful plays of Radha and Krishna on this auspicious day.
Happy  Holi.

जय जय श्रीराधे
