Radha Ashtami ka Pavitra Arth
Hindu dharm mein Radha Ashtami ek aisa tyohaar hai jo bhakti aur prem dono ko ek saath darshata hai. Yeh din Radharani ke janm ke roop mein manaya jata hai, jo Bhagwan Shri Krishna ki anant shakti aur prem ki devi ke roop mein pooje jati hain. Jahan Krishna “Ishwar ka Purush tatva” hain, wahin Radha “Prakriti aur Bhakti ka sarvottam roop” hain. Radha aur Krishna ek doosre ke bina adhoore hain, isiliye unki pooja hamesha ek saath hi ki jati hai. Radha Ashtami humein yaad dilati hai ki bina Radha ke Krishna bhi sampoorn nahi hain, aur bina bhakti ke prem bhi nirarthak hai.
Radha Ashtami ki Kahani aur Itihas
Radha ji ka janm Barsana gaon mein hua tha, jo Mathura ke paas sthit hai. Puraanon mein varnan hai ki Radha ji, Vrishbhanu ji ke ghar paida hui thi. Unka bachpan Krishna ke saath khelte aur Vrindavan ki galiyaan unke prema-ras se bhari hoti thi. Radha ji ka prem sirf manushya ka prem nahi tha, balki ek divya bhakti ka roop tha jahan unhone apne aap ko poori tarah Krishna ke liye arpit kar diya.
Krishna aur Radha ke prem ko kabhi bhi sharirik drishti se nahi dekha jata, balki isse “atma aur paramatma” ka milan maana jata hai. Isi liye Radha Ashtami ko “Prem aur Bhakti ka tyohaar” kaha jata hai.

Radha Ashtami Vrat Vidhi
Is din bhakt subah brahm muhurt mein uth kar pavitra snan karte hain. Fir wo safed ya peele kapdon mein Radha-Krishna ka dhyan karte hain. Mandir mein jaa kar ya ghar mein hi Radha-Krishna ki moorti ya tasveer ko phoolon se saja kar pooja sthapit ki jati hai.
Radha ji ko gulab aur mogre ke phool bahut pasand hain, isiliye unki pooja mein in phoolon ka vishesh mahatva hai. Vrati is din nirjal ya phalahar vrat rakhte hain. Radha ji ke saamne dhoop, deep, naivedya aur mantras se pooja ki jati hai. Is din Radha Ashtak, Radha Sahasranam, aur Krishna bhajans gaane ka vishesh mahatva hai.
Shaam ko aarti ke baad bhakton ko prasad baanta jata hai. Bahut log is din Barsana, Vrindavan aur Mathura ja kar mandir darshan karte hain jahan Radha Ashtami par vishesh utsav hote hain.
Pooja Kaise Karein
Radha Ashtami par pooja karte waqt ek vishesh vidhi ko follow karna chahiye:
Sabse pehle ghar ke mandir ko achhi tarah saaf karein. Fir Radha-Krishna ki moorti ya photo ko asan par rakhein. Pooja shuru karne se pehle Radha ji ko gangajal se snan karaiye ya kam se kam unke charan mein gangajal chadhaiye. Fir unhe kumkum, roli, chandan, pushp aur phal arpit karein.
Radha ji ki aarti karte samay “Radhe Radhe” ka jap karein. Is din Radha ji ko dahi, makhan aur mishri ka bhog lagana shubh mana jata hai, kyunki unhe yeh bahut pasand hai. Shaam ke samay bhajan aur kirtan karke Radha-Krishna ka smaran karna vrat ka sabse mahatvapurn hissa hai.
Radha Ashtami par Kya Pehna Chahiye?
Radha Ashtami par peele, safed aur gulabi rang ke kapde pehna shubh mana jata hai. Ye rang pavitrata aur prem ke pratik hote hain. Mahilaen is din saari ya lehenga pehenti hain aur phoolon ka shringar karti hain. Purush bhi kurta-pajama ya dhoti pehen kar pooja karte hain. Barsana aur Vrindavan mein is din log Radha-Krishna ke rang mein rang jaate hain aur poore shringar ke saath bhajan kirtan mein shamil hote hain.
Radha Ashtami Kahan Sabse Zyada Manayi Jaati Hai?
Sabse bada Radha Ashtami ka utsav Barsana mein hota hai, jo Radha ji ka janm sthal hai. Yahan Radha Rani Mandir mein vishesh shringar, aarti aur utsav hota hai. Vrindavan aur Mathura ke mandiron mein bhi Radha-Krishna ki jhankiyan nikalti hain. Har taraf bhakton ka sangam hota hai aur log “Radhe Radhe” ke naam se galiyaan gunjati hain.
Radha Ashtami ka Adhyatmik Sandesh
Radha Ashtami humein sikhati hai ki prem bina sharton ke hona chahiye. Radha ji ne apni puri zindagi Krishna ke naam arpit kar di, bina kisi swarth ke. Is tyohaar ka sandesh hai ki bhakti aur prem zindagi ke asli marg hain. Radha ji ka prem ek aisa prem hai jisme na apna pan hai, na ahankar.
Aaj ki bhaag daud bhari zindagi mein Radha Ashtami humein yaad dilati hai ki insaan ko apne andar prem, daya aur shanti jagani chahiye. Yeh tyohaar humein atma aur parmatma ke milan ki taraf agrasar karta hai.
Radha Ashtami aur Bhakti Ras
Radha ji ko bhakti ka saar maana jata hai. Jaise suraj bina roshni ke adhoora hai, waise hi Krishna bhi Radha ke bina adhoore hain. Unki bhakti humein yeh sikhati hai ki jab tak hum apna ahankar chhod kar prem aur samarpan ke marg par nahi chalte, tab tak hamari bhakti poorn nahi ho sakti.
Bhajan aur kirtan is din bhakton ko ek alag hi anubhav karwata hai. “Radhe Radhe” ka naam lene se man mein ek shanti aur sukh ki anubhuti hoti hai.
Radha Ashtami ke Bhog Aur Prasad
Radha ji ko doodh, dahi, makhan aur mishri ka bhog lagana bahut shubh mana jata hai. Iske alawa kheer, malpua aur panchamrit bhi Radha-Krishna ko arpit kiya jata hai. Barsana aur Vrindavan ke mandiron mein is din vishesh prasad banta hai jo bhakton mein baanta jata hai.
Radha Ashtami ek aisa tyohaar hai jo sirf ek devi ka janm divas nahi, balki ek adhyatmik sandesh hai. Yeh humein batata hai ki prem aur bhakti dono saath-saath chalne chahiye. Radha ji ka prem humein yeh sikhata hai ki ishwar ko paane ka marg sirf aur sirf prem hai.
Is saal Radha Ashtami par hum sab apne andar se ahankar ko door karke prem aur bhakti ko jagayein. Radha ji ki kripa se humari zindagi mein shanti, samriddhi aur sukh aaye.
“Radhe Radhe” kehne se jo shanti milti hai, wo kisi aur naam mein nahi.
