Radha Ashtami ek pavitra Hindu tyohar hai jo Radharani, Bhagwan Krishna ki divya sakhi aur shakti, ke janm din ke roop me manaya jata hai.

Radha Ashtami Ki Kahani

Katha ke anusar, Vrishabhanu Maharaj aur Kirti Devi Barsana ke raja–rani the.
Ek din unke ghar ek sundar kanya ka janm hua. Jab us bachchi ne janm liya, tab uski aankhen band thi.
Vrishabhanu ji aur Kirti Devi bahut chintit hue, lekin kuch samay baad jab Yashoda Maiya apne laal Krishna ko lekar Barsana aayi, tab chhoti Radha ne pehli baar Krishna ko dekha aur turant apni aankhen khol di.

Ye drishya sabne dekha aur har koi hairan ho gaya.
Us samay se log kehte hain ki Radha ji ne Krishna ke darshan ke liye hi janm liya tha.
Ye ghatna Radha-Krishna ke divya sambandh aur prem ke shuddh svaroop ka prateek mani jati hai.

Radha Ashtami Ka Mahatva

Radha ji ka naam “Raas” aur “Dha” shabdon se bana hai — jiska arth hai “jo raas me vasan karti hain” yani Krishna ke prem me sada vasant hain.
Radha ji bhakti ka sarvottam roop hain.
Unka prem sharthheen, nishkam aur pavitra hai.
Is din bhakt Radha ji ki pooja karke apne hriday me shuddh prem aur bhakti jagate hain.

Radha Ashtami hume sikhata hai ki bhakti ka arth kewal puja–path nahi, balki dil se samarpan aur prem hai.
Radha ji ne apna har shwas Krishna ke naam me arpan kar diya tha, isi liye unhe bhakti ki devi mana gaya hai.

Radha Ashtami Ki Pooja Vidhi

Radha Ashtami ke din bhakt vrat rakhte hain aur subah snan karke pooja ki taiyaari karte hain.

Ghar ya mandir me Radha-Krishna ki murti ko sajaya jata hai, unhe phoolon, vastra aur bhog se alankrit kiya jata hai.

Pooja ke samay ki vidhi:

1. Sankalp: Subah snan karke pooja ka sankalp lein aur Radha ji se aashirvaad maangein.
2. Sthapana: Radha-Krishna ki murti ko kamal phool ya chowki par sthapit karein.
3. Abhishek: Panchamrit (doodh, dahi, ghee, shahad, aur gangajal) se abhishek karein.
4. Vastra aur Shringar: Lal aur peele vastra Radha ji ko arpan karein, unhe phool aur ghoonghro se sajaayein.
5. Bhog: Tulsi patra, mishri, makhan aur kheer ka bhog lagayein.
6. Aarti: Aarti karein aur mantra jaapein —
   “Om Radha Krishnaya Namah”
7. Bhajan–Kirtan: Shaam ko Radha-Krishna ke bhajan gaye jate hain aur kirtan ke saath utsav manaya jata hai.

Radha Ashtami Ka Aadhyatmik Sandesh

Radha ji ka prem hume sikhata hai ki asli bhakti me kabhi swarth nahi hota.
Unka prem keval prapti ke liye nahi, balki samarpan ke liye tha.
Radha ji ne hamesha Krishna ko apne antaratma me basaya, aur Krishna ne Radha ko apni bhakti ka pratik banaya.

Ye tyohar hume yaad dilata hai ki Radha bina Krishna ke adhoore hain, aur Krishna bina Radha ke nishpran.
Dono milkar prem aur bhakti ke do paksh hain — ek sharir se nahi, man aur atma se jude hue.

Conclusion

Radha Ashtami prem aur bhakti ka aisa utsav hai jo hume antar shuddhi aur prem ke mahatva ka gyaan karata hai.
Radha ji ke charanon me samarpit hone se man me shanti, prem aur divya anand ka anubhav hota hai.
Ye din keval ek tyohar nahi, balki atma aur parmatma ke milan ka divya prateek hai.
