Origin of All the Divine Goddesses

Swami Nikhilanand

Who is Radha Rani? You heard yesterday that she is the Mahabhav personified, Madanakya Mahabhav, which is a state of Divine love that even Shree Krishna doesn't reach to or doesn't stay at, but with Radha's grace, He can taste some of that ras, Madan ras. So Her Divine status is the topmost because Shree Krishna Himself is worshipped by everybody - Jagavandan. He is worshipped by not only the souls, but by all of His swanch (Divine expansion), all the various forms of Bhagwan are Shree Krishna's own expansions, Brahma, Vishnu, Shankar. They're all anch of Shree Krishna's anch, Maha Vishnu. Maha Vishnu is but a tiny part of Shree Krishna's personality, or He is Shree Krishna when He's merely revealing the almighty aspect of His personality, but not revealing that prem aspect. And that Shree Krishna worships Radha Rani.

Radhiko Upanishad says that Radha means the One who is worshipped by Shree Krishna, the one whose aradhana is done by Supreme Brahm, Shree Krishna. Radha Rani also has swanch, Lakshmi, Parvati, Durga. Again from Radhiko Upanishad, Ved is saying that we worship Radha, we surrender to Radha. Why? Because She is the origin of Lakshmi, Durga, Parvati, Saraswati. They're all Her anch. They're a part of Radha Rani. Sanshat Kamala, Shailputri, Radha Rani's anch is Kamala meaning Lakshmi, Shailputri meaning Durga, Parvati. They are all from Radha Rani and They also inhabit all the brahmands. They take avatar in each brahmand.

Just like we say that Shree Krishna's form, Maha Vishnu, takes avatar in every brahmand as Vishnu of that brahmand. Brahma is also His anch, Shivji is also His ancha, swanch. So there are infinite Brahmas, infinite Vishnus, infinite Shiva's because there are infinite brahmands in this endless creation.

Similarly there's a Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati in each and every brahmand as well. They are all swanch of Radha Rani and just like Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar are surrendered to Their anchi, Shree Krishna. Unlimited Kamalas, unlimited Varnis, unlimited Parvatis are all naturally surrendered to Radha Rani and They worship Her.

So Ved is telling us that's the question was that some Brahmagyanis were asking why leaving the upasana of everyone, do great saints surrender to Radha and Ved came in person to answer that question. Shruti personified came to answer that question to those Brahmagyanis and told them that She is the origin of all the Divine Goddesses, all the forms of Divine Goddess are none other than Radha.
