Radhe Krishna and not Krishna Radhe

Remember when Shri Krishna was leaving Vrindavan for Gurukul and promised Radha to comeback and marry her, she respectfully denied the proposal saying she was a simple village girl and their love was fine till the time Shri Krishna too was a cowherd boy. but since, he is going to be a King now, It would not be possible for him to marry her. She asked him two things to which he replied: "Ask me and they are yours". I shall always reside in your heart, but not with you. People should remember me as your love and hence we still take the name "Radha" before "Shri Krishna". Saying Radha's name after Krishna would have not served the purpose effectively.

It starts from Mata Pita, Radha Krishna, Sita Rama, Uma Maheshwara, Lakshmi Narayana Radha Madhava. Parvati Parmeshwar and so on. Just goes to reflect the Vedic attitude towards women, it is a clear indicator that she forms the foundation of our society. Women are accorded the greatest respect in Vedas,and recognised as the active principle Shakti of the static energy from Ishwara. We always address mother first because her merciful nature father is generally known to be very strict similarly Krishna is strict God but Radharani is merciful and also Shri Krishna loves Radharani more than anything so when he hears Radharani a name on somebody's tongue Krishna gets attracted to wards that devotee.

Dear devotees chanting Radhe Radhe is enough, if sometime you want to remember Govind like I do I chant Radhe Govind. Why my guru told when we say only “Ra” the Bramha (Shree Krishna) run to us to listen “dhe”. Shree Krishna loves Radhe name so much that he run to us to listen to it such is the name Mahima . Shree Krishna himself takes Radhe name Nitya (continuously). If we become devotee of Shree Radha Rani, the devotion to Shree Krishna is already done.

The core concept of Hinduism are Dharma and Bhakti. Bhakti will shine inside the soul of a person only when he follows his Dharma with utmost dedication as per the words of Shri Krishna in Shrimad Bhagwad Gita. Attaining that pure form of devotion towards the Lord is the ultimate aim of Jivatma. Radha personified that bhakti swaroop. Selfless devotion towards Lord Krishna. Not only Radha but all gopika. They were so innocent and considered Krishna as a child and showered unfathomable bhakti towards Krishna.

The Lord holds such bhaktas close to his heart. If we recite the name of such bhaktas he will be pleased. That is the reason we say " Radha ". We should wish one day we also attain such level of selfless devotion as Radha towards the Lord. Krishna as per mythology is considered as the Original Person. He will be the only entity when he awakens, so he creates potencies around him. One is paraphernalia potency.

He surrounds himself with 'relationship' entity called Hladini potency or pleasure potency, which represents "absolute love" - the root of all love which we experience. So Hladini is in the form of Radharani, who is mentioned very less in all scriptures because she is known to be the very personal secret and less spoken about aspect of Krishna as she is whom Krishna will chase. Indirectly it gives a message to living beings, that Krishna will only chase 'love' or 'bhakti' (devotion). Radha is 100% devoted to Krishna and Krishna is 100% devoted to Radha and this is definition of absolute love.

So in this world, always Radha should precede Krishna because Krishna chases love, who in turn will reciprocate thus completing the cycle and the cycle then continues to infinite love. So Radhe Krishna or Radhe Shyam represents 100% love which is the be all and end all of things. Popularly the three aspects are called sat-cit-ananda (sat means creator, cit is paraphernalia, ananda is relation through love, sat is Krishna, chit is Balram and Ananda is Radha. Similarly sat is Rama, chit is Lakshman, ananda is Sita, sat is Jagannath, chit is Balram and ananda is Subhadra and so on and so forth).

When Lord Krishna was about to leave this world (during the time, when he was hit by a king/hunter by an arrow at his feet), he was taking leave from everyone (not by meeting in person, just by talking from where he was seated, he was communicating to everyone he wanted to). When it came to Radha's turn, She asked to Lord Krishna that she loved him so much and she will never be associated with Lord Krishna after he is gone, since Lord Krishna did not marry Radha. As we all know Lord Krishna is a great communicator and knows how to convince everyone, So he told to Radha, out of all the wives he has, no one's name will be taken along with him except Radha and on top of that he also mentioned that, Radha's name will be taken first followed by his own name.
