Meaning Of The 15 Tithis Gap? Why Radha Ashtami follows Janmashtami; lunar and bhakti lens

The time between Janmashtami and Radha Ashtami is determined by the lunar calendar’s phases. Janmashtami takes place on the eighth night of the waning moon, whereas Radha Ashtami occurs on the eighth night of the waxing moon. This natural difference leads to around fifteen tithis between the two festivals. The events suggest a metaphorical journey where Krishna’s arrival inspires the path of love and devotion towards Radha.
