Namaste,

I know that the Hare Krishna chant refers also to Radha by the term Hare. Are there mantras that refer to Devi Radha by name? I believe that Radha-Krishna are one Lord, but I feel particularly strongly drawn to the Lord in her female form.

I appreciate any thoughts or advice.

Namaste Patrick,

This probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but these resources should be useful for worship of Radha Mata.

Here's some more of what you are not exactly looking for. A great Radha bhajan by members of the Sri Nimbarka Sampradaya..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7HKj0MlZWY

Members of same sampradaya chant the Yugal Mantra;

Radhe Krishna Radhe Krishna Krishna Krishna Radhe Radhe
Radhe Shyam Radhe Shyam Shyam Shyam Radhe Radhe!!

Other than that there is the mula mantra used in arcana and puspanjali;
srim ram radhikayai svaha. However I don't believe that is used as a japa mantra (I could be wrong).

There is also a Radha gayatri mantra. But like many mantras it should likely be taken from a gualified guru in order to be effective.

You may be better off chanting Radha slokas for the time being, such as this one..


tapta-kāńcana-gaurāńgi
rādhe vṛndāvaneśvari
vṛṣabhānu-sute devī
praṇamāmi hari-priye



O Gaurangi! Whose complexion is like molten gold! O Radhe! Queen of Vrindavana! O daughter of Vrasabhanu Maharaja! O Devi! O dearmost of Hari! I offer my salutations unto you again and again!
