On this day of Radhaashtami, adorer are allowed special sanctions which are
not allowed generally. Like, Radharani's name is usually not chanted due to the
possibility of committing faults towards her. Neither people are allowed to
enter into Radha Kunda, or Radharani's Pond, which is considered holy. On the
day of Radhastami, people wait until midnight in order to bathe there. People
chant her names on the ''appearance day'' or birthday of Sri Radha. Radharani
is believed to ''appear'', being an eternal companion of Krishna, she does not
take birth or die.

Sri Radha was older to Lord Krishna and it is believed that the divine girl
did not open her eyes until Sri Krishna was born. The relationship of Sri
Krishna and Radha surpasses human concepts and is metaphysical in nature. It is
supernumerary to affirm that one may get Krishna only through the sympathy of
Radha.
