Hladini-shakti Srimati Radhika
Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati Prabhupad says, “We worship Krishna because He is Radharani's favorite. Our interest is in Radharani, and Krishna is Her favorite. And only because She wants Krishna do we have any connection with Him. We are really saktas, worshipers of God's potency; not saktas like the worshipers of Durga, but suddha-saktas. The real, original potency, Krishna's dedicating Moiety, is in Vraja. Both direct and indirect connections with Krishna come through Her. This is Radha's position."

Creeper of Bhakti
Śrīmad Bhakti Śrī-rūpa Siddhanti Gosvāmī Mahārāja
Among all the jivas who are wandering throughout the universe, one who has accrued spiritual merit over many lifetimes obtains the seed of the creeper of bhakti, or sraddha. This takes place when the jiva, by Krishna's mercy, is favoured by His dear associates. Endowed with that sraddha, the disciple as a gardener, plants that seed in his heart. He waters it by hearing and chanting the instructions flowing from the mouth of SriGurudeva.
