Krsna’s calling at New Vraja Dhama

Devotees often say that Radhastami is the most important festival at New Vraja Dhama. Although the verdict shall be taken according to one's individual preference, i humbly agree with the premise, for She is known as Vrindavanesvari and the mood on Her day at New Vraja Dhama is always additionally surcharged by some mysteriously special substance. "She is not a woman", Jayapataka Maharaja said recently in Mayapur, "She is the pleasure potency of the Lord. If you can please Radharani, and She tells Krsna that there is this devotee who is nice, then He will be very happy to give His mercy". At New Vraja Dhama, Janmastami could be taken as the central annual event, Govardhan-puja can be described as the most opulent worship, Gaura Purnima can be taken as the most munificent and most merciful day, but in this community Radhastami is surely the most important festival and celebration.
