Rādhārāṇī Is Fully Spiritual

“Her mind, senses and body are steeped in love for Kṛṣṇa. She is Kṛṣṇa’s own energy, and She helps Him in His pastimes.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 4.71, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is as fully spiritual as Kṛṣṇa. She should never be considered material or like a conditioned soul.
  • Her body, mind and senses are spiritual and fully shine in love of Kṛṣṇa.
  • She is the personified hlādinī-śakti, the pleasure-giving energy of the Lord’s internal potency. She is the only source of enjoyment for Śrī Kṛṣṇa and helps Him in His pastimes.
