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."

Bhagavata-dharma
Sri Srimad Bhakti Pramode Puri Goswami Maharaj
Though the Bhagavata-dharma is difficult to understand (durbodha), that does not mean that it cannot be understood at all. Those who practice these religious principles taste the nectar of immortality, but this is not the mundane ambrosia of the demigods in Svarga. It is the nectar of devotional rapture.
