If Lord Gaura had not appeared as the yuga-avatara in Kali-yuga, humanity would have remained unaware of the highest expressions of divine love found in Sri Radha’s glory. Just as Krsna is the source of all divine forms, Radharani is the origin of all goddesses, yet knowledge of her was limited before Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s advent. Mahaprabhu revealed her glory, which is only briefly touched upon in the Vedas, and explained her mysteries to the world. However, understanding Srimati Radharani requires guidance from true Vaisnava teachers in the lineage of Sri Caitanya. This collection of Radharani’s pastimes gathers accounts from scriptures and teachings by the Gosvamis of Vrindavan, and additional stories passed down by Vrajavasis and great sadhakas. It begins with radha-tattva, illuminating the purity of Sri Radha’s love for Sri Krsna.
