“(Therefore) Radha is parama-devata, the supreme goddess, and She is worshipable for everyone. She is the protectress of all, and She is the mother of the entire universe.” —Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi 4.89
Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. Five thousand years ago, when Lord Krishna came to this planet to perform His pastimes, Srimati Radharani also appeared.
The complete definition of God has both God and His energies, which exist simultaneously with Him and are in a sense identical to Him. When we all of krsnas energy we Radha, His eternal consort. Like the sun and sunshine, Krishna and Radha are one. Radha is loving devotion to god personified. We can also say she is bhakti personified.
“Radharani is a tenderhearted feminine counterpart of the supreme whole, resembling the perfectional stage of the worldly feminine nature. Therefore, the mercy of Radharani is available very readily to the sincere devotees, and once She recommends such a devotee to Lord Krishna, the Lord at once accepts the devotee’s admittance into His association.” —Srila Prabhupada, Bhagavatam 2.3.23
Srimati Radharani is Krishna’s pleasure potency. The devotees of the Krishna humbly try to glorify Srimati Radharani because by her mercy they can easilty advance in Krishna consciousness.
The sun cannot exist without the sunshine, nor the sunshine without the sun. We say, “the sun is in my room”—even though the sun itself is ninety-three million miles away—because the sun appears in the form of its energy. Therefore the energy (the sunshine) and the energetic (the sun) are simultaneously one and different. Similarly, Radha and Krishna are simultaneously one and different. Krishna, the self-effulgent Lord, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Srimati Radharani is His supreme pleasure energy. Together They constitute the complete Absolute Truth. If one wishes to understand Radha and Krishna, one must understand Them by hearing submissively from a bona fide authority
