Greatest cheater

With the help of a gopi who is like the greatest cheater of all cheaters, Krsna personally enters the gopis houses. The following is a hint of the direction these pastimes take.

Hero Heroine

In the rasa-dance pastimes Krsna was the amorous hero and the many gopis were His amorous heroines.

Never Ending

Externally, the rasa-dance festival came to an end, but in did not end within the gopis' hearts. It is said: When the rasa-dance festival had come to an end, the beautiful-eyed gopis became diligently engaged in their household dutiese. Still, they always thought of those pastimes of
  1. singing and 
  2. dancing
It was as if those pastimes were always manifest before their eyes.

Tree Plantation

Vrnda and the gopis planted tamala trees and splendid plants on the pathways leading far from Vraja, pathways Krsna's gopi-beloveds traveled to meet Krsna. In this way they served Lord Hari.

Duplicates

When the left the rasa dance and turned to their homes, the gopis did not fear their kinsmen, for Lord Krsna's maya potency had manifested duplicates of every gopi at every house. Aware of this, the gopis simply returned home by the regular path.

Fair and Dark

. A fair gopi and a dark Krsna. 
A fair gopi and a dark Krsna. 

This was repeated hundreds of thousands of times in that rasa-dance circle. 
In the middle of that circle Krsna (Dark) played the flute and danced with Radha (Fair). 


Elephant Vs Lion


  1. Glory to the wild elephant of the beautiful-eyebrowed vraja-gopis pride and anger. 
  2. Even though He defeated it, the lion Krsna always feared that elephant. 

Joked

From the sky the demigods joked,

"0 Krsna, why do You wish to give delight to the gopis

  1. They gaze at You with crooked eyes and 
  2. They praise You with crooked words."

Riddle

"0 king of the intelligent, please solve this riddle.

  1. Some persons love only persons who love them. 
  2. Some persons do not love others, even if others love them. 
  3. Some persons love everyone, whether these persons love them or not. 
  4. Some persons love needy and helpless persons, whether such persons love them or not.
In His mind understanding the meaning of this riddle, Sri Krsna said:

These four persons are respectively:

  1. Persons greedy after their owen self interest, 
  2. Ungrateful persons, 
  3. Pious persons, and 
  4. Persons who know the highest truths of spiritual life. Or, these persons may also be respectively described as bewildered fools,

Amorous

The

  1. yearning to meet, 
  2. meeting, 
  3. embraces, 
  4. kisses, and other amorous activities of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna seem exactly like those of ordinary amorous couples. 
However, Sri Sri Radha-Krsna s amorous pastimes are free of any impurity or imperfection.

  1. all-glorious, 
  2. all-blissful, and 
  3. all auspicious. 
The amorous activities of other couples are not like Radha-Krsna s pastimes. They are merely the conditioned soul's selfish struggle to please himself.

Rivals and Friends

Radha s rivals spat out the following words, which were like a great coil of smoke from the growing fire of envy burning within her: "

Saintly girl, look! The footprints of this wicked-hearted girl no longer follow Lord Krsna's delightful footprints, That girl must have been very bold. First She sipped the nectar of Lord Krsna's lips, nectar we all find to be delightful, and then She suddenly disappeared."

To these words Sri Radha's gopi friends gave the following reply:

"Aha! Why are Radha's footprints marked with auspicious signs no longer visible here gopi-friends, Holding Her to His chest, dear Krsna must have begun to carry His delicate-limbed beloved."

To those words, Sri Radha's rivals gave this reply:

"Look! For a long time amorous Krsna carried that gopi on His chest. When Her garments and other
things became disarrayed, He became aroused. Here His footprints are pressed very deeply. Here are sprinkled drops of His perspiration, drops mixed with kunkuma and flower-garland fragments. Here He pushed aside the vines as He walked on the path."

To these words Sri Radha's friends replied,

"Here the footprints become faint. Here, averse to Her beloved, the beautiful gopi must, with gracefully bent
knees, rested on Sri Krsna's thighs."

Then Sri Radha's rivals said,

"Here amorous Krsna must have rearranged amorous Radha's flower crown when it became disrrayed and begun to fall apart."

Then they also said, "These crooked footprints on path after path reveal Sri Sri Radha and Krsna's pastimes, pastimes that stand beyond the boundary of ordinary shyness and modesty.

Worship

We think in the following way: The girl named Radha is glorious and fortunate. The creator Brahma created Her with extraordinary names, qualities, and beauty. Destiny certainly favors Her. Because She is rapt in worshiping (radh) Lord Krsna, She is called Radha (the worshiper). Her name may be interpreted

  1. "She who worships Krsna" or 
  2. "She who is worshiped by Krsna". The Nirukti confirms this explanation.

Perhaps

On Krishna Rejecting Them

The gopis thought,

  1. Perhaps we should give up our lives, or 
  2. perhaps we should fall to the ground before dear Krsna's feet, or 
  3. perhaps we should be angry with Him, or 
  4. perhaps we should reject Him and return to our homes, or 
  5. perhaps we should drown ourselves in the Yamuna's dark waters. Then again, 
  6. perhaps we should not do any of these things. 
  7. Perhaps we should only seek vengeance by beating on the forehead of harsh and cruel Krsna.

Birth and Death

In Padma Purana, Uttarakhanda, it is said:

"Sages took birth as girls in Gokula. According to their desire, they attained the association of Sri Krsna. By associating with Him, they attained liberation from the ocean of repeated birth and death."

Gaz

The gopis said:

"By hearing the melodies of Krsna's flute, we gopis attain a condition like that of the cows when they hear Krsna s flute.

Still, there is a difference between us and the cows.

The cows respond by gazing in Krsna's moonlike face at every moment. We gopis cannot gaze at Krsna's face in that way. In what yuga will we be able to always gaze at His face"
