About
This day is commemorated with a great deal of reverence, love, and magnificence in ISKCON Nellore. Bhajans, kirtans, Radha-Krishna katha, and special aartis are among the activities available to devotees. At ISCKON Nellore, a bhog (food offering) is offered as prasadam. Additionally, events like Anna Daanam, Gau Seva and Pushpa Archana are held. Radha Rani, who bestows upon devoted devotees great spiritual devotion, inner tranquilly and heavenly favour, is pleased when this puja is celebrated. The festival embodies the spirit of unselfish devotion to Krishna.
Radha Ashtami Puja begins early with the devotee taking a sankalpam (vow) after purification through achamanam. The altar is cleaned and decorated with flowers and rangoli, and a picture or idol of Srimati Radharani is placed with reverence. The puja starts with lighting a diya and incense, followed by chanting of Radha Gayatri or Radha-Krishna mantras. A kalash is prepared, and panchamrit abhishekam (milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugar) is performed on the deity or photo, followed by a sacred bath with rose water.The deity is then adorned with sandal paste, kumkum, turmeric, and flowers. Offerings of naivedyam (sweets, fruits, or sattvic food), tulsi leaves, and pushpa archana (flower offerings) are made while singing bhajans. A heartfelt aarti is performed, and devotees seek Radha Rani’s blessings for devotion and inner purity. The puja concludes with distribution of prasadam, celebrating the appearance of divine love and compassion in Radha.
