Radha Rani and Her Eight Companions

💥Ashta-Sakhi- Radha Rani’s Eight Divine Companions💥

✨Radha Rani is a revered Hindu deity. ✨

In Hindu Vaishnava tradition, she is worshipped as the supreme embodiment of divine love (Bhakti)

and the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. 🌿

She is not merely a mythological character, but a central spiritual figure in Hindu devotion,

 especially in Vrindavan tradition.

Ashta-Sakhi means “the eight closest companions of Radha Rani.” 🍀

They are divine attendants and loving friends who assist Radha and Lord Krishna in their eternal

 pastimes (Leela's) in Vrindavan.
