He’s (God) seated right within you, in every atomic particle. He is the very Creator. This is all His creation. So there is nothing strange in this. It’s only that we need to get educated with this spiritual philosophy and, with the practice of our devotion, grow into wisdom and become wise devotees. Only then we can accept.
जाने बिनु न होइ परतीती। बिनु परतीती होइ न प्रीती॥
Jāne binu na hoi pratītī. Binu pratītī hoi na prītī.
- Ramayan (Uttar Kand)
No knowledge, then no acceptance. No acceptance of that philosophy, of that truth, of the concept, then no faith. And no faith means no love. And no love means no attainment. Then we will continue to go through the cycle of transmigration, as we have been doing since time immemorial. It’s not that only today we are endowed with this human form.
Thus, He is my every relation. And who is Radharani? She is the very Swamini (Divine mistress), the very Lord, the very soul of the Supreme soul, Paramatma (the Supersoul), Shree Krishna.
But don’t be under this confusion once again that,
“Oh, so Radha is higher and Shree Krishna is lower.”
No. There is no duality. There is only one tattva (Absolute truth).
अद्वितीय इक तत्व है, राधा तत्व प्रधान।
याको दूजो रूप है, स्वयं कृष्ण भगवान॥Advitīya ik tattva hai, Rādhā tattva pradhān.
Yāko dūjo roop hai, svayaṁ Kṛiṣhṇa Bhagavān.जोई राधा सोई कृष्ण हैं, इन मेन भेद न मान।
इक हैं ह्लादिनी शक्ति अरु, शक्तिमान इक जान॥Joī Rādhā soī Kṛiṣhṇa haiṁ, in men bhed na mān.
Ik haiṁ hlādinī shakti aru, shaktimān ik jān.- Bhakti Shatak
Shaktiman (the possessor of Divine power) is Shree Krishna, and the Shakti (Divine power) of Shaktiman, Brahm Shree Krishna, is Radha. Just as the Shakti of Shaktiman Lord Ram is Mata Sita, and just as the Shakti of sarva Shaktiman Bhag\wan (the Almighty Lord), Bhagawan Shankar, is Mata Parvati, who has the different names Durga and Kali. Without Shakti, there is no Shaktiman. Without Shaktiman, there is no Shakti.
So, Supreme Divine Beloved Shree Radha-Krishna graced this entire Brahmand (universe), anant Brahmands (countless universes). They graced them all at the same time when They descended on Earth. Not only 5,000 years ago, but in every Dwapar yug (the third of the four cosmic ages), the Supreme Lord descends as Shree Radha-Krishna, and in every Treta yug (the second of the four cosmic ages) as Shree Sita-Ram.
So, Kishoriji Radharani, whom we see here (in the shrine), is the worshipful Divine Mother of every one of us. And Shree Krishna, Shyamsundar (the beautiful dark-complexioned Lord), Priyatam (the Divine Beloved), is the Beloved of every soul.
Have this shuddha bhav (pure devotional sentiment). In the form of Radharani, Shree Krishna is our worshipful Divine Mother. At the most, if you have Gopi bhav (the devotional mood of the Gopis) or Sakhi bhav (the devotional mood of a companion of Radha), then She is the Sakhi (Divine companion), the Shreshth (supreme) Sakhi.
But Shree Krishna is every relation, any relation. In that form as Shree Krishna, the Supreme Almighty Godhead descends and shows that, “I am the Beloved of every soul.”
