Radhastami Meditations by HH Jayapataka Swami:

Markings on Radharani’s lotus feet, eleven on one foot and eight on the other. So, she is transcendental. And we should try to please her. Navadvipa Dhama, Prabhupada gave instruction to develop it, but I located where the different places are. But as far as developing, we only developed two places a little bit. Radhakunda , Shyamakunda and Arkatila. And there are so many other places. So I was thinking that Radharani wants Navadvipa Dhama to be preserved. It’s glories to be understood. There’s so much to do. Also, Prabhupada was saying how here we have Radha Krsna and the Astha Sakhis. So he said that Bengalis, they like to worship Shakti. So here we should have so many Shaktis.Radharani is the original Shakti and She has her eight immediate expansions, Her Astha Sakhis. So he said, “This will be very attractive to the Bengalis and this will be attractive to everybody.” So here we have Radha Madhava and the Astha Sakhis.
