Bhaktivedanta Manor - Hare Krishna Temple Watford

Radhastami
2025-08-31 | Bhaktivedanta Manor, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD258EZ, United Kingdom
Sunday 31 August 2025
Srimati Radharani’s glorious appearance on this planet occurred on this day around 5,000 years ago. She is the divine female energy of Lord Krishna, His loving potency, which He is all attracted by.
She is the foremost maha-bhagavata, the greatest devotee. Krishna is all-attractive, but Radharani is so great that she attracts even Krishna. Five thousand years ago, when Lord Krishna came to this planet to perform His pastimes, Srimati Radharani also appeared.
On Radhastami day, devotees meditate on the exalted position of Srimati Radharani and offer prayers to her.
