Who is Srimati Radharani?

People in general do not know about Radharani. The truth about Her is a very confidential subject hidden even from the Vedas. As a result there are many misconceptions - or no conceptions at all - about Her.

Srila Prabhupada says, "The two transcendentalists Radha and Krishna are a puzzle to materialists. The description of Radha and Krishna from the diary of Srila Swarupa Damodara Goswami is a condensed explanations, but one needs great spiritual insight to understand the mystery of these two personalities."

Just as Krishna is the fountainhead of all forms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Radharani is the fountainhead of all goddesses, such as Laksmi, Rukmini, and Satyabhama.

This book offers a glimpse into the pastimes of Srimati Radharani as they have been described in different scriptures and also explained by the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan. Some of the pastimes come from books about guided pilgrimages to Vrindavan, when the stories told are not referenced in any scripture but are part of the local oral tradition.

Before describing the pastimes of Radharani, the book explains Her ontology and the purity of Her love for Sri Krishna. This information is from Srila Prabhupada's translation of Sri Chaitanya-charitamrta, written by Srila Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami.
