Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Dear friends and devotees, Bakthi is eternal. 22b.Raadhaashtmi (Bhadrapada bahula ashtami) The eighth day of the moon is always Shakti’s own day and so is the ninth. Radha Ashtami is celebrated on the eighth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada (August-September). On this tithi, Radha was born. She was an incarnation of Laxmi and is worshipped accordingly. Radha, the favorite and consort and mate of Krishna, is also a symbol of human soul drawn to the ineffable god, Krishna. She also stands for pure divine love to which all fickle love returns. On this day after early morning ablutions, the image of Radha is bathed in Panchamrita and then richly adorned and ornamented before offering food and worship. Fast is kept on this day and prasad distributed. (A collection) With love and regards, Sastry. Never miss a thing. Make your homepage.
