Namaste,
I was told that the Hare Krishna mantra addresses Radha and Krishna but that one should not worship Them until one is really experienced. (When I recite the Hare Krishna mantra then the image of Lord Rama keeps appearing in my head which makes me feel assertive, which I don't like). So, to change the effect I made up a mantra that rhymes with the Hare Krishna mantra and I later learned that this mantra already exists. Its words are:
Radhe Krishna Radhe Krishna Krishna Krishna Radhe Radhe
Radhe Shyam Radhe Shyam Shyam Shyam Radhe Radhe.
I also learned that this mantra belongs to the teachings of a tradition by Nimbarka and that this tradition is different from Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Should I follow the concept of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and not worship Radha ("directly") or should I worship her? Where can I find material about Nimbarka in English?
