Why Was This Name Given?
Radha’s name means worship itself; she was named for the radiant, selfless love that became the very definition of devotion to the divine.
The Story
Radha loved Krishna so completely that her name is spoken before his — Radha-Krishna — for the devotee is dearer to God than God is to himself. Hers is not romance but the soul’s longing for the divine.
To name a daughter Radha is to wish her a heart capable of love without condition.
