ବୃନ୍ଦାବନ-ବିହାରିଣୀଂ ନବ-ସୌନ୍ଦର୍ୟ-ମଣ୍ଡିତାମ୍ ।
ରାଧାଂ ରସିକ-ସାର୍ବଭୌମୀଂ ନମାମି ପ୍ରେମ-ଦେବତାମ୍ ॥
On Rādhāṣṭamī, devotees remember that without the mercy of Śrī Rādhā, one cannot attain the grace of Kṛṣṇa. ISKCON devotees especially worship Rādhārāṇī as the embodiment of pure devotion (bhakti) and pray for Her blessings to serve Śrī Kṛṣṇa with love and humility.
करुणामूर्ति राधे वृन्दावनवनेश्वरी ।
प्रणमामि सदा भक्ताभीष्ट-फलप्रदे ॥
Meaning:
O Rādhā, embodiment of compassion, Queen of Vṛndāvana forests! I always bow to You, the fulfiller of all the desires of devotees.
Happy Radhashtami to all of you 💖💖
