“Radhey Radhey” Krishna Mantra
The Glory of the Name of Shree Rādhā and the Benefits of Chanting Rādhe–Rādhe.
Goddess Rādhā is the daughter of King Vrishabhānu and Queen Kalāvati, and she appeared in the sacred land of Barsānā, a village eternally connected with divine love. From the very beginning, Shree Rādhā is known not merely as a historical or mythological personality, but as the embodiment of pure, selfless love (Prem-Bhakti). She is eternally the most beloved of Lord Shree Krishna and the supreme example of divine devotion.
According to Vaishnava traditions and many Puranic scriptures, Shree Rādhā is not different from Lord Krishna. She is believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi and also the internal pleasure potency (Hlādinī Shakti) of Krishna Himself. It is said that when Krishna desired to taste His own sweetness and love, He manifested Himself in the form of Rādhā. Thus, Radha is Krishna, and Krishna is Radha—two forms, one divine essence.
Because of this deep spiritual truth, devotees of Lord Krishna lovingly chant the sacred mantra “Rādhe–Rādhe”. This name is not just a word; it is a divine vibration that carries immense spiritual power. Chanting the holy name of Rādhā purifies the heart, awakens devotion, and leads the soul towards the ultimate goal of life—Krishna-prema and liberation.
Let us understand in detail the glory of the name of Shree Rādhā and the benefits that devotees of Lord Krishna receive by chanting the Rādhe–Rādhe mantra.

The Glory of the Name of Shree Rādhā
Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha are eternally one. Scriptures repeatedly emphasize that there is no difference between Radha and Krishna. Both are equally worshipable and revered by devotees.
Devotional service (Bhakti) and chanting are the simplest and most powerful ways to attain Radha-Krishna. Through pure devotion, the devotee ultimately attains liberation.
Statement by Veda Vyasa:
Radha Bhajati Tam Krushnam Sa Ch Tam Ch Parasparam।
Ubhayoh Sarvasamyam Ch Sada Santo Vadanti Ch ॥
Meaning:
Radha worships Krishna, Krishna worships Radha, and both adore each other. Saints always declare that they are equal in every aspect.
— Brahma Vaivartha Purana, Volume 4, Chapter 52
Power of the Syllables “Rā” and “Dhā”
The Brahma Vaivartha Purana beautifully explains the mystical power hidden in the name Radha.
“Rā” brings Krishna’s ecstatic joy to full bloom.
“Dhā” makes Krishna run behind the devotee in divine eagerness.
Lord Krishna Himself declares that upon hearing “Rā”, He grants supreme devotion, and upon hearing “Dhā”, He loses Himself in divine love for Radha.
The syllable “Ra” represents charity and divine giving, while “Dha” represents liberation. Thus, Radha is the merciful goddess who grants liberation effortlessly.
Mahadev’s Declaration
Lord Shiva (Mahadev) tells Goddess Parvati that Krishna remembers Radha’s loving movements in the Rāsa dance, and therefore calls her Radha. By chanting “Ra,” a devotee attains rare salvation, and by chanting “Dha,” he runs to the lotus feet of Shri Hari.
Prayer of the Saints
“Sa Radheti Sada Hrdi Sphuratu Me…”
Saints pray that the divine name of Radha, composed of two transcendental syllables and representing ultimate truth, may forever shine in their hearts.
Conclusion
Radha and Krishna are eternally one, yet beautifully manifested in two divine forms to express pure love. Chanting the holy name of Shree Radha leads devotees to salvation, inner peace, divine love, and ultimate happiness. The glory of Radha’s name has been glorified in Brahma Vaivartha Purana and many other sacred texts.
By sincerely chanting Rādhe–Rādhe, life becomes simple, joyful, prosperous, and spiritually fulfilled.
Rādhe Rādhe 🌸
