Radha Nama: The Authentic Way to God’s Abode

RADHARANI

Why we must Chant Sri Radha Nama?

In this video post, we shall cover the following points about the glory of Srimati Radhika’s Holy Name, Sri Radha.

1. The role of the four Varnas and the four Purusharthas

2. What Radha Nama can do for us

3. The Radha Nama and the transcendental world

4. The nature of our happiness

5. Sri Krishna’s addiction to Sri Radha Nama

6. How can we get a taste of Sri Radha Nama

The great Uttama Adhikaris of the Bhakti and Prapatti Marga state that the name of Srimati Radharani is beyond the four Purusharthas namely Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.

The role of the four Varnas and the four Purusharthas

When you perform Dharma, such as your daily duties, you get Artha or Money. For example, a Brahmin collects Dakshina because he does his duty of doing Karma Kanda and collects funds from his Yajamana or rightful Customers. Dharma allows this. A Kshatriya can take part in state and country politics and lead the people of the country toward their Dharma.

Similarly, a Vaishya can do business and earn profit as long as he does not loot his customers for undue profit. A member of the fourth class should serve the other three classes and earn a salary. This is his rightful Dharma. Thus through Dharma one earns money or Artha. With the money, one can satisfy one’s food, clothing, shelter and entertainment needs. This is Kama.

KSHATRIYA DHARMA

When a person yearns for freedom from this repeated birth and death, it is called the Yearning for Moksha or Liberation. But whenever a person takes up chanting of Sri Radhika’s Nama, the Nama takes him beyond Dharma. Artha and Kama. At a certain stage, Sri Radhika’s Nama offers Moksha to the chanter. Moksha refers to the domain of the ocean of light, reaching which the spirit soul never returns to the mortal plane.

Going Beyond the Domain of the 4 Purusharthas

But Sadhakas and Bhaktas of Srimati Radharani claim that there is a world beyond the ocean of the Light of Brahman. This world is the transcendental universe of Sri Krishna and Srimati Radharani where they sport their eternal pastimes. In this world, all the inhabitants have a perfectly transcendental body with which they serve the divine couple.

RADHA NAMA

The goal of the earthly devotees of Srimati Radharani is to enter that transcendental abode of Sri Krishna and Srimati Radharani by chanting the Radha Nama. The Radha Nama connects you to a Sampradaya or an authentic spiritual system that takes you into Radha Upasana, following which entering that divine Abode becomes possible. That is why Sri Radhika’s Nama shall take you beyond the four goals of human life namely Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.

Sri Krishna becomes a devotee of the devotee of Sri Radha

You can find the greatness of Radha Nama is described in the authentic Pauranic text Brahma Vaivarta Purana. This text says that the Lord of the Universe becomes a bonded servant of a Jiva who even utters one Radha Nama with love. It goes on to say that Sri Madhava or Sri Krishna becomes mad when he just hears the syllable Ra and then when he hears the syllable Dha, he eagerly runs in the direction of the sound to reward the individual who has just uttered these syllables.

SRI RADHA KRISHNA

Not only Sri Krishna but all the incarnations and Lord Vishnu Himself abound with joy when they hear Sri Radhika’s Nama. Thus perfection has o,nly one definition and tha? is Sri Radhika’s Nama. When one recites Sri Radhika’s Nama again and again, they inch towards perfection, that which is beyond this material universe. The Radha Nama projects such an individual into an unparalleled universe, unimagined by any mortal of this material universe.

Such is the power of Radha Nama. We do not even know what is ordinary happiness. We feel that attaining a good job, a car, a bungalow, a good family, etc. contributes to our happiness. In the end, we know only suffering. What to talk of the transcendental bliss that Radha Nama can offer us. If only we would have surrendered at the feet of a true Bhakta of Srimati Radha can we know of such bliss.

Serving Sri Radhika alone grants us Eternal Bliss

Attaining Radha Nama from such a great Bhakta and chanting Radha Nama with love can grant us that transcendental love for Srimati Radharani. The holy name of Sri Radha is self-manifest, and a person who chants it with a service attitude will see Sri Krishna directly and spiritually. Sri Krishna cannot be grasped through the material senses, but when one serves Him with a service attitude, starting with the tongue, they will be automatically manifest. Chanting Sri Radha Nama is thus the highest form of Service to Sri Krishna.

Serve Sri Krishna through Radha Nama

KRISHNA AND COES

There is no other genuine way of serving Sri Nandanandana Krishna other than chanting Sri Radhika’s Nama. The holy name of Sri Radha is non-different from Sri Radhika Herself and thus contains all Her sweetness to the fullness. However, when our material tongue chants Radha Nama for the very first time, we feel that Radha Nama is ordinary or even mundane.

An Analogy to Explain Radha Nama

Consider this, you are completely sick and you are on steroids and antibiotics. How would your favorite food taste? Awful isn’t it? Isn’t that natural? But as you recover with good health, continuing to eat food every day, slowly your sickness will go, medicines will go away and your favorite food will start tasting like your good old days.

Similarly know that Sri Radha’s Nama represents our original transcendental nature. We have been sick with material nature and Radha Nama tastes bitter. Know that Sri Radhika’s Nama is both medicine and food. The more we consume it, the more sweetness it will generate and take us beyond material nature. This is a guarantee.
