Question:

Bhakta Ruben:
Dear Master, can you tell me what is the origin or the meaning of the name “Radha”? Thanks.

 

Answer:

Prabhuji:
The name Radha derives from the Sanskrit root “aradhana”, which means “adoration”… namely, Radha or Radhika is the unsurpassed one, as for her admiration to Lord Krishna… this you can find in AC Bhaktivedanta’s purport on the Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chap. 4, text 87…
