**Topic**-''The birth of Radharani was not from the womb of any human being.''.....
Srila Prabhupada says, "From this word aradhyate, Radha has come. 'So this janma is today, and Radha, this name is sometimes not found in Bhagavata.'......
Prabhupada: Don't take that Radharani is an ordinary woman, like we have our wife or sister or mother. No. She is the pleasure potency. And the birth of Radharani was not from the womb of any human being. She was found by Her father in the field. While father was plowing, he saw one little nice child is lying there, and he had no children, so he caught it and presented to the queen, "Oh, here we have got a very nice child."

While father was plowing, he saw one little nice child is lying there, and he had no children, so he caught it and presented to the queen, "Oh, here we have got a very nice child."
"How you got?" "Oh, in the field." Just see. Radharani's janma is like that. So this janma is today, and Radha, this name is sometimes not found in Bhagavata. So the atheistic class of men protest that "Radharani's name is not in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. How this name came, Radharani?" But they do not know how to see it. There is anayaradhyate. There are many gopis, but there is mention that by this particular gopi He is served more pleasingly. Krsna accepts this gopi's service more gladly. Anayaradhyate. Aradhyate. This aradhate, this word, aradhyate means worshiping. From this word aradhyate, Radha has come. But Radha's name are there in other Puranas. So this is the origin.>>> Ref.

KMD RE: Radha and Krishna
1) Shri Radha & Shri Krishna are one & the same Supreme Divine Personality of Godhead. Shri Radha is Param Ishwari & Shri Krishna is Param Ishwar. Both are one & the same Param Satya, the Supreme Absolute Truth. They are non different. Shri Radha is the Supreme Energy & Shri Krishna is the Supreme Energetic. There is NO mundane sexual relationship between Them. They are absolutely pure, spiritual, divine & transcendental. They don't have a mundane biological human body. They have a Divine Spiritual Form which is Eternal, Full of Knowledge & Full of Bliss. Both are declared as the Supreme of all the supremes in the Vedic Scripture. They are above the Supreme Divine Brahman Effulgence. Hence, They are "Parabrahman" - The Supreme Divine Spirit or the Supreme Absolute Truth.
2) Shri Radha ji is directly mentioned with complete description in RIG VEDA, ATHARVA VEDA, Shri Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Padma Purana, Agni Purana, Narada Purana, Vayu Purana, Skanda Purana, Garga Samhita & Narada Pancharatra. Her wonderful descriptions are given in Radha Upanishad from Rig Veda. Also in Radhika Tapani Upanishad & Gopal Tapani Upanishad from Atharva Veda. Although, She is indirectly mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam, She is present in each & every shloka of Srimad Bhagavatam.
3) Shri Radha ji is declared as Mool Prakriti Ishwari, the Supreme Almighty Goddess, in Rig Veda.
4) The names of 5 Principal Goddesses are mentioned in Prakriti Khand of Shri Brahma Vaivarta Purana. They are Shri Radha, Shri Mahalaxmi, Shri Durga, Shri Saraswati & Shri Gayatri. From these 5 Principal Goddesses, Shri Radha ji stands Supreme.
5) Shrimati Radharani is our Original Supreme Mother. She is "sarva laxmi-mayi," - embodiment of all the Divine Forms of Goddess Shri Mahalaxmi. She is also declared as the Original Supreme Goddess of Fortune. Those who consider Her to be some mundane romantic entity, are committing a serious offence, which can destroy the good fortune of such offender.
PADA: Yes, the ISKCON GBC leaders idea that persons prone to -- illicit sex with men, women and children -- should also be worshiped as pure devotees and "eternal servants of Srimati Radharani" and "assistants of the gopis" etc. are severe offenders to Krishna, the gopis, Srimati Radharani etc. ys pd

Henry Doktorski: I'll say one thing about this (Ramesvara) fellow, he's an incredibly sly fox! I guess leopards don't change their spots. One of my Facebook friends received the following personal message from Ramesvara and shared it with me:

Hare Krsna. Pamho. AGTSP!
I would humbly inform you that I was never interviewed for the 11 Naked Emperors . Since then I have communicated with the author but a history book without such first hand interviews still is missing important perspectives
Your aspiring servant
Ramesvara dasa
My thoughts? Talk about omitting important facts! Or perhaps the fellow is getting senile. Yes, Ramesvara was not interviewed for my book "Eleven Naked Emperors." And the book is missing important perspectives, which I admit in the Preface. But why is that?
I asked him for an interview, BUT HE REFUSED! He wrote to me:
“It’s probably best for you and all concerned that I stay quietly on the sidelines. My bad reputation with your many readers would tarnish your genuinely good and valuable efforts. I respect you greatly and offer my humble obeisances and prayers for this endeavor to be successful and that it prove to be very helpful to many devotees.”
Robert Grant (Ramesvara), Facebook message to the author (May 4, 2015).
You can read this in the Preface to ENE, p. xxiii. I even sent him a complimentary copy of the book! This is the thanks I get!
Srimati Radharani teaches all living entities:
Serving Krishna is the highest principle.
