Krishna and Gopika

The love between krishna and gopika recognize purest form of love. Gopis are Shruti rupa, Veda rupa, Rushi rupa and Deva rupa, they were very  knowledgeable and were able to understand the form of Krishna. They loved Krishna more than anyone else and proved as the examples of the bhakthi-yoga.Gopika's love is supreme form of devotation. Radharani ji was one of gopi, who expresses her emotion about Lord Krishna in following words: 

 "Whether you embrace me lovingly or make me broken heart by not being with me, or simply crush me under your feet, still you will always remain my one and only worshipful Lord forever. You are free to do or behave however you wish to, but I will always love you and only you unconditionally."

 The gopis of Vrindavan total 108 in number, The main name of gopi were,
  • Lalita Sakhi
  • Vishakha Sakhi
  • Campakalata Sakhi
  • Citra Sakhi
  • Tungavidya Sakhi
  • Indulekha Sakhi
  • Rangadevi Sakhi
  • Sudevi Sakhi

Gopis are said to exemplify Suddhabhakti which is described as 'the highest form of unconditional love for God'. Rasa lila means the sweet act of Krishna. It is often freely rendered as the dance of love. Krishna and gopikas represents the coming togethrt of Prakriti and purusha. When Gopis hear the sweet music of flutes, they sneak away to listen krishna!
Krishna lila with gopikas
In my word, the path shown by gopikas to love krishna is sweetest way to spirituality, The life of the Gopikas was indeed exemplary. They led perfect lives. the Gopikas tell Krishna, 'We belong to you.Therefore, Krishna protected them at all times wherever they were. The hearts of the Gopikas were soft, sweet and blissful. Krishna relished their pure love. Gopikas are so innocent. Gopikas learn us that we have to Love Krishna (God) unconditionally without demanding or expecting surrender to krishna is main part of krishna devotee.
