Sri: 


Here is the mail from Sri.Sri.Sri.China Jeeyar Swami on related 
question about Radha that appeared in another forum. 

Question : I have a question which has been left unanswered by many 
religious speakers whom I have asked about conducting the Kalyanam of 
Radha with Lord Krishna. Is Radha Krishna Kalyanm celebrated? 


ANSWER; JAI SRIMANNARAYANA

NO. IT IS NOT. ACCORDING TO ORIGINAL SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM, COMPOSED BY 
THE GREAT SAGE VEDA VYASA, THERE IS NO CHARACTER CALLED AS "RADHA" AT 
ALL. 

THE MENTION OF RADHA IS AVAILABLE IN RAJASA PURANA LIKE 'BRAHMA 
VAIVARTHA PURANAM'. 

WE CAN TAKE 'RADHA' AS A SYMBOL OF DEVOTEE WITH SELFLESS DEVOTION. IN 
SANSKRIT "RADH" MEANS TO PLEASE. THE DEVOTION OF ONE, WHO PLEASED 
LORD WITH HIS HEART, DEED AND WORD, WILL BE CALLED AS RADHA. BECAUSE 
THE WORD 'DEVOTION' IS IN FEMININE GENDER, SO THE WORD 'RADHA' ALSO 
BECAME A FEMININE GENDER WORD. WHEN A CHARACTER IS PERSONIFIED THAT 
CHARACTER BECAME 'LADY RADHA'. 

HOW LORD LOVES SUCH A DEVOTEE AND HOW SUCH DEVOTEE IS MERGED IN LORD, 
IS SEEN IN RADHA-KRISHNAS. HENCE RADHA IS NOT REALLY A PERSON, IT 
APPEARS. THAT IS THE REASON WHY KALYANAM IS NOT PERFORMED TO THEM. IT 
IS DONE TO THOSE WHO WERE REALLY THERE DURING HIS PERIOD.
