Where there is the sun, there is sunshine , where the is Krishna there is Radharani.

Where there is a lotus flower, there is the beautiful scent of the flower. They are synonymous in that sense .

The acaryas tell us where there is Lord Krishna, there is Srimati Radharani , The Supreme Goddess of fortune,  and wherever Krishna appears in His incarnations or His expansions in  Vaikuntha regions or when He leaves Vrndavana and takes up residence in Dwarka , Radharani in one of  Her expansions appears with Him . Indeed the mystery of Nava Vrndavana and Satyabhama is given by Rupa Goswami, while Krishna was in Dwarka ,  Srimati Radharanis deep effection for Krishna is revealed,  knowing that Krishna of Vrndavana, even though residing in Dwarka,  was feeling the pangs of seperation from Vraj , Radharani knew Krishna could not live without Her ,so she came  as Satyabhama and brought  along Her  Vrndavana,  wherever there is Vrndavana there is Radharani.

Srimati Radharani serves Krishna in all capacities . As a friend, mother ,servant, and lover , as a friend, she plays many  competitive games with him and generally comes out victorious , as a mother she thinks of the pain He must feel when His lotus feet trample of grass storks , as a servant , she wants to serve His lotus feet in every way , but He wants more so she sacrifices everything,  even Her reputation,  and as a lover she exhibits the highest Bhava , madana maha bhava , in conjugal mellows ,and Krishna faints , and Radharani boldly declares to Her friends “The beautiful one is mine .”

Radharani , as Durga devi, administers strict discipline on the jiva in a bid to wake them up from the foolish attempts to become an enjoyer of a temporary material situation , and  encourages them to revive their original purposes of rendering loving services and  in a cooperation with Her family.
