O Goddess, there is no doubt that
by the mercy of this prayer one
immediately becomes liberated,
because in this world there is
nothing equal to the thousand
names of Sri Radha.

Introduction

We who are chanting the Hare Krsna mantra are always chanting the name of Srimati Radharani. How this is so was explained by Srila Prabhupada in the following purport (CC Adi 7.73)

"Simply addressing the energy of the Supreme Lord as Hare and the Lord Himself as Krsna very soon situates the Lord within the heart of the devotee. By thus addressing Radha and Krsna, one directly engages in His Lordship's service. The essence of all revealed scriptures and all knowledge is present when one addresses the Lord and His energy by the Hare Krsna Mantra, for this transcendental vibration can completely liberate a conditioned soul and directly engage him in the devotional service of the Lord."

In another purport (CC Adi. 4.56), Srila Prabhupada futher explains the importance of chanting the holy names of Radha, as follows:

"In fact, Radharani is the internal potency of Sri Krsna, and She eternally intensifies the pleasure of Sri Krsna. Impersonalists cannot understand this without the help of a maha-bhagavata devotee. The very name 'Radha' suggests that Srimati Radharani is eternally the topmost mistress of the comforts of Sri Krsna. As such, she is the medium transmitting the living entities' service to Sri Krsna. Devotees in Vrndavana Therefore seek the mercy of Srimati Radharani in order to be recognized as loving servitors of Sri Krsna."

The following verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam is quoted in Sri Caitanya-caritamr
