    Re: Worshipping Radha - yes or no?

    Namaste,

    I found an article on Shiva Samhita, which describes different kalAs w.r.t. nAdI-s and chakra-s

    The text does not define all 16 kalA-s

    http://archive.org/stream/SivaSamhit...mhita_djvu.txt

    148. In the sinus of the forehead there is the nectar-containing moon, having sixteen digits (kalas, i.e, full). Let him contemplate on this stainless one. By constant practice, he sees it in three days. By merely seeing it, the practitioner burns all his sins.
    I hope this is helpful and members do not mind quoting Shiva Samhita in Vaishnava sub-forum.

    Namaste Amrut ji,

    I was occupied with celebrations hence couldn't reply to you. Thanks for sharing the information.

    In general, a human can master or achieve 5 siddhis, some may achieve 8 or 9 siddhis, but not any further. Only humans with deva-anSa or some avatars can master more than 9 kalA-s.
    Anything new I read about my friend Shree Raama Chandra Prabhu takes me towards prosperity. I need to do an introspection and figure out my current state in comparison to what a human can achieve.

    Namaste Anirudh ji,

    In spiritual progress, the success depends upon faith, devotion and surrender. More the faith, devotion and surrender, more is the success.

    There is nothing that Rama or Krishna cannot give us, so if we do not get something that we want, then either there is something wrong in our devotion or that our demands are purposefully not fulfilled as they may clash with our primary motive to be at the lotus feet of Lord. If attaining lotus feet of Lord is the goal, then our worldly desires and expectations may not be fulfilled.

    Jai Shri Rama

    Thanks for sharing your views. It is true that there is nothing Shreeman Naaraayan can't give. I have left to his discretion to decide my destiny. But I don't stop myself from trying to achieve what I believe as good for me.

    Namaskar,
    I don't know much on this topic but I would certainly share my views.First of all,as much as I know Radha was the incarnation of Shri Maha Lakshmi in the Dwapara Yuga.So worshipping her is like Worshipping Maha Lakshmi.Moreover,Shri Krishna himself gave a boon to Radha that her name will always come before him and that's why we all chant "Radhey Krishna".Also as I know,without Radha Rani's Kripa one can't reach Shri Krishna.As it is said in one song-

    "Radha Shakti Bina Na Koi,
    Shyamal Darshan Paave,
    Shyamal Darshan Paave."


    It means without Radha's power no one can get the glimpse of Shri Krishna.So I think worshipping Maa Radhey Rani is similar to devoting oneself to Shri Krishna.

    Dhanyavad
