Today is Janmashtami. The birth anniversary of Lord Krishna, this festival is celebrated on the eight day of the Krishna Paksha of the month Shravan (August – September), according to Hindu calendar. It’s a perfect day to remember Radha for although we never take Krishna’s name alone, it’s always – “Radha Krishna” for us. Here are few things you should know about Radharani, for without her this festival wouldn’t have been so vibrant and Krishna’s popularity may not have even existed. Radha is the daughter of Vrishbhanu Gopa and Kirti Devi. She is sometimes considered as the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. Radha lived in a village called Repalli that was a little away from Vrindavan. Radha was five years elder to Krishna. She was in love with Krishna from her younger age. In fact, mythology says that as children, Krishna and Radha playfully married once, but their pure love never converted into a real wedding. Radha’s life in Vrindavan took a drastic turn after Krishna left. She was forced by her mother to marry a man. In fact, they had a child together. Though Radha is a mysterious character in Hinduism, she is known to be the strength of Krishna. The Hindu goddess whose place is always depicted alongside Krishna and has been in main centre within the theology of Vaishnava traditions, according to which, Radha is the original Goddess or Shakti. Radha is always being worshipped in the Nimbarka Sampradaya, as Nimbarka – central religious figure, and known to be the founder of the tradition, was declared that Radha and Krishna together constitute the absolute truth, following the advent of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also within the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. Radha Chalisa mentions that Radha is arguably the most important Gopi in Raas (sacred dance) with Lord Krishna. Radha is often referred to as Radhika, Radharani, and Radhe in speech. Radha’s superiority is observed in Krishna’s flute, which repeats the name Radha. In fact, when Krishna brought all his wives to meet Radha, they all together declared her the most beautiful and sacred hearted woman in the whole universe. Since then she is remained beside Krishna until the end of the universe. Birthday of Radha is celebrated as Radhaashtami across the country and especially in the north, with full devotion and joy. Radha Ashtami is mainly take place after 15 days of Janmashtami. Radharani’s birthday is the sacred eighth day of the month of Bhadrapada (August-September).

Happy Janmashtmi and Radhaashtami folks!

Is Krishna a non vegetarian?

'Rama, Krishna & Valmiki were non-vegetarians' - The Hindu.

October 16, 2016 12:00 am | Updated December 01, 2016 06:17 pm IST - MANGALURU: Seeking a larger debate on the food habits of mythological personalities and ancestors, Udupi district in-charge Minister Pramod Madhwaraj said on Saturday that Valmiki, Rama and Krishna were non-vegetarians. Speaking after inaugurating the Maharshi Valmiki Jayanti celebrations, Mr. Madhwaraj said caste had not been a bar for those scaling new heights.

Food habits

He said he was consciously making the statement in the light of the ongoing debate on food habits across the country. The Minister sought a debate that would include the food habits of mythological personalities. The Minister said Valmiki, hailing from the lowest stratum of the caste system, wrote the Ramayana . Excellence was not restricted to a particular class, caste or community. Valmiki’s achievements had come a long way in eradicating the caste system, he said. Mr. Madhwaraj said Maharshi Veda Vyasa, son of fisher woman Satyavati, had penned the Mahabharata . In the present times, the mother and son would have been socially boycotted, he noted. All such issues needed to be debated, he stressed. The Minister wondered how certain castes and communities could claim exclusive rights over the worship of Gods.
