SRI RADHASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS – 29th AUGUST 2017 - TUESDAY

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 Vrndavana. On this most auspicious Radhashtami  day, may Sri Radha shower Her divine blessings on all. Fasting on the most sacrosanct Radhshtami day yields the fruit of fasting on thousands of Ekadasi days.
