Radhe Radhe
राधे राधे
rādhe rādhe
Meaning
In Braj this name is both a greeting and a jaap — Radhe Radhe on meeting, Radhe Radhe on parting. The tradition says the road to Krishna opens through Radha's name; there is no gentler name of love and surrender.
How to do the jaap
Special on Radhashtami and through Jhulan; otherwise it is a name for every hour. A mala of 108, or simply the day's habit — the Braj way.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a method for saying Radhe Radhe?
No — that is the beauty of this name. In Braj it runs like breath; if you need a method, you have walked past the name.
