Barsana Dham


Speech by H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

Barsane wari ki!
Jai! Raseshwari Radha Rani ki! Jai!
Barsana Dham ki! Jai! Jai Shree Radhey!

Now, we are going to have darshan of Radha Rani, Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani. Raseshwari name comes from the Upnishads (Upanishads). It is an eternal name. It is also said in many Puranas and by all the rasik Saints of Divine Vrindaban who descended on the Earth planet and established the glory of Radha and Krishn (often misspelled as Krishna). Our historical Saints like Hari Das, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who was a descension of Radha Herself, Hit Harivansh, all those great great Masters, they revealed the Truth that there is one absolute supreme Divine love power that is called Mahabhao--Mahabhao Shree Radha Thakurani. This has been said by all the rasik Saints.

They also explained that Mahabhao is a state of absolute absolute form of Divine love where even the Divine wisdom drowns in its own experience of love. that is Mahabhao. Mahabhao is Radha Rani. Same Mahabhao has two forms, Radha and Krishn (Krishna), so whatever is Radha, the same is Krishn. Krishn is Radha; Radha is Krishn. Radikho Upnishad says that the same Mahabhao appears in two forms, Radha and Krishn (Krishna).

This devotional theory and that Divine state was explained in the writings but was never established in the form of a Temple. So we have established that fact in the form of this Temple of Raseshwari Radha Rani, Barsana Dham. So (in the shrine) we see Radha, and Radha and Krishn (Krishna); the main Deity of Radha is here and next to her the Deities of Radha and Krishn. It means Radha Herself is Radha, Radha Herself is Krishn (Krishna).

For devotional purpose, a devotee who desires to receive the love of Radha Krishn, who desires to receive the bliss of Divine Vrindaban, adores both, Radha and Krishn (Krishna). But there are some personal preferences. Some devotees like to remember Radha more than Krishn. Some devotees like to remember Krishn (Krishna) more than Radha. Some like to remember both. That is their option. There is no difference in devotion. There is no difference in the effect of such a devotion as long as they adore both Radha and Krishn. In this way, when a devotee understands the secret, he tries to absorb his mind into the love of Radha Krishn (Krishna). And how to absorb, there is only one way. To listen or to do the chanting of Divine name. Now we’ll start the chanting of Radha Krishn (Krishna).
