Worship of Krishna Without Radha is Futile
Sri Gurudeva first narrates on why Sukadeva Goswami did not take the name of Radha directly in Srimad Bhagavatam. He then explains the meaning of a hymn written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, ‘rādha-bhajane yadi mati nāhi bhelā’. He also emphasizes on the fact that without understanding Krishna-tattva nobody can understand Radha-tattva. He narrates Brahma-vimohanlila to indicate how even Brahma failed to understand Krishna when He appeared as a cowherd boy.
