श्री राधा चालीसा
उत्पत्ति और कथा
Traditional Hindi devotional chalisa · Traditional · Devotional era
Radha, daughter of King Vrishabhanu of Barsana, is the beloved of Krishna and the heart of his pastimes (leela) in Vrindavan. Worshipped as the embodiment of pure love and as Krishna's own bliss-power, she is adored together with him as Radha-Krishna. This Chalisa sings her beauty, her place in the rasa-dance, and the truth that Krishna himself is won not by penance but by the loving remembrance of Radha's name.
✦ शास्त्रों में वर्णित
The Chalisa declares that though one perform a million sacrifices and penances, Krishna does not accept the devotee as his own until they sing the name of Radha; and that the son of Yashoda himself follows behind whoever remembers her name, so devotees of Braj greet each other only with 'Radhe Radhe.'
