Prabhup\u0101da:<\/span>
\nSo that day is today. First you have to worship R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore in V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana you will see all devotees, they will address one another, “Jaya R\u0101dhe.” Still. Because they know that “If R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b is pleased, if I can please R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b…” R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b is presented the original pleasure potency, always absorbed in thought of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. So anyone who comes before R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b to serve K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, oh, She becomes so pleased, “Oh, here is a devotee of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a.” She immediately recommends, “K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, oh, here is a devotee. He is better than Me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This is R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b. I may be a…, not devotee. I may be most fallen rascal. But if I try to reach K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a through R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, then my business is successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore we should worship R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b first.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is our business. Instead of offering directly one flower to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, you just put it in the hands of R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b = “My mother R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, jagan-m\u0101t\u0101, if You kindly take this flower and offer it to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a.” Don’t try to offer K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a directly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just offer through R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b. It will be very much appreciated by R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b.<\/span><\/p>\n

So this is our philosophy, to please K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a through R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, and just today is the auspicious day of R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b’s appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we should offer pu\u1e63p\u0101\u00f1jali and pray to R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b that “R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, kindly be merciful and tell about me to Your K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a.<\/span><\/p>\n

To Your K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is Yours.” K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, R\u0101dh\u0101-K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is not independent. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b’s property.<\/span><\/p>\n

So you have to approach K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a through R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is, today is the auspicious day. Worship R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b very nicely and be happy.<\/span><\/p>\n
