The Goddess on Love
Srimati Radharani said: "If you
want to understand My love for Krsna then listen... Prema (love) is so great
that even the knowers of the Vedas cannot know it, nor others who claim to know
it. Sakhi! (the name of a companion) One who teaches prema (love) to an
inquisitive person cannot know it, nor can their hearer know it. It's all just
imitation! Prema (love) disappears before both the discriminate and
indiscriminate person, but that pure-hearted soul who is free from
discrimination and who is full of sacred greed, is able to approach the throne
of natural love. That is shown through the lover's activities, which are only
dedicated to the happiness of the beloved."
"O dear sakhi! In whom else in all
the three worlds or beyond them but in Krsna, the prince of the cowherds, is
this prema (love) to be found? Only the doe-eyed gopis of Vrndavana can relish
this, according to their qualifications."
"Of all these gopis, Lord Krsna is
most attracted to Me. That is well known in the world. That can never be false.
He considers My love to be as great as Mount Meru, and the love of the other
gopis to be like three or four mustard seeds."

The Greatness of The Goddess
Who Is Radha?
Radharani is described as the topmost uttama heroine in the following statement, where Krsna says to Subala: "Radharani will renounce everything if that will make Me happy for a moment. Even if I torment Her with suffering She never becomes angry with Me in Her heart. If She hears the rumor, even if it is untrue, that I am slightly unhappy, Her heart cracks. With these transcendental good qualities Radharani shines as the best of all the beautiful-eyed gopis."
In the Krama-dipika, Sri Krsna spoke to Candarama, the moon. “Radha’s name is superior to hundreds of My names. Even I do not know what benefit awaits that person who always chants and remembers Sri Radha.”
The moment I hear the sound 'Ra' from anyone's lips, I grant them My supreme prema-bhakti (loving devotion). But the next moment when I hear the sound 'dha', I completely lose Myself and become intoxicated in Radha-nama. Because of My great longing to hear the name of My Beloved, I run after the devotees who chant Radha-nama.
Simply by vibrating the sound 'Ra', Shri Krishna's ecstatic jubilation fully blooms; simply upon hearing the sound 'dha', He chases after vibrator with great awe and reverence. (Brahma Vaivarta Purana)
Shri Krishna says: "O Narada!! If you have faith in the process of prema-bhakti (loving devotion) and wish to attain my favour, then please become the worshipper of Shrimati Radharani in the mood of ecstatic emotion." (Bhavisyottara Purana)
Shri Krishna says: "O Narada! I tell you truly truly, again truly, truly, again and again - without the mercy of Shrimati Radharani, one cannot attain my mercy." (Narada Purana)
Kalindi has stated that ''Surely Shri Radhika is the very soul (Atma) of Lord Krishna Who is Atma-Rama, that is, One Who delights in Himself alone.''
Bhagavan Krishna is always immersed in Shri Radha consciousness, which is His very soul. Therefore learned sages who have grasped the secret esoteric significance of this deep mellow call him 'Atma-Rama.'
The holy name of Radha is fully accomplished in perfection as follows: the syllable 'Ra' denotes dana, bestowal of a gift, and the syllable 'dha' indicates nirvana, liberation. Thus, She Who mercifully bestows liberation into the eternal kingdom of painlessness is called 'Radha.' (Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Shri Krishna-janma-khanda)

On War 1
My own feeling was that in being the first to use it (the atomic bomb), we had adopted ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children…William D. Leahy
