Dance of Radha and Gopis with Krishna

Today's write is inspired by some angel, my devotional self, divine love. This was long due. I know if I wouldn't have written it some angel would have been disappointed becuase for past 5 days they have been pushing me to write what they wanteed to say.

Hmm, Archangel Gabriel out here. I know what you are thinking. How can an angel write about some other religion other thn Christ. But you know the truth is that angels have no religion. They live in all the concepts that exist because ntlimately all concepts merge in one truth. They have emerged from one truth. I want to share wit you the story of Radha, Krishna And Gopis.

They are well known in India. Krishna is prayed all over India in different forms with different names. He was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The Preserver in trinity of Gods. He had all the qualities of complete incarnation. This means that he had the qualities of :

Divine Love
Divine Being
Divine Creativity
Divine Inspiration
Divine Design
Divine Knowledge
Diveine Nectar
Divine Intoxication
Divine Bliss
Divine Understanding
Divine Taste
Divine Fargnance
Divine Matrix
Divine Nothingness
Divine Speech
SDivine Wealth
Divine Name
Divine Sound
Divine Manifestation
Divine Appearance
Divine Magnetism
Divine Synchronicity

So were his qualities that since his birth people were attracted to him. Be it demons or Deities, all praised him. Demons created all possible blocks so that tey could get Nirvana or Ascension achieving Death through his hands.
As a child all women were attracted to him. Even though he was black, he was so charismatic that everyone waned to be with him. Even the separation at night will be a torture for men, women, children, animals and plants. Nature used to dance and give fragnance of spring when Krishna was there.
As he grew the love for Krishna Grew in all the Women, called gopis.

***Gopis were the women who milked the cows and prepared curds, Ghee/ clarified butter and butter for sale.***

They were so much in love with Krishna that they used to dance when he played the flute. It was not that they were not married rahter their love was so pure and unconditional, color, age, marriage, race, caste, sex didn't matter. They were so much surrendered in all possible ways, be it ego, body, mind, emotions or spirit.

This surrender and love was also in Radha, a distant cousion plus lover of Krishna. She was also married to someone else but it didn't matter. Her love for Krishna was so pure that they were one even without getting married, having sex or copulation. Their love was beyond any physical body. This is the only reason that Radha is depicted with Krishna than his Main Wife 'Rukmini', who was the incarnation of Shree Lakshmi, Wife of Vishnu. Remebr that Krishna is the incarnation of Vishnu.

Coming back to Divine love, divine Surrender and Divine intoxcation, though it was present in both, Radha and Gopis, yet, it seems that gopis were one step higher. Just because of the reason that thye knew they can never be Radha to Krishna. Yet, when Radha-Krishna danced with Gopis, Gopis were able to replicate Krishna. There were as many Krishna's as the number of Gopis, dancing with them.

It is the characteristic and devotion of Gopis that God manifested with them. It is that unconditional love, compassion, Divinity, oneness, happiness, dedication and intoxication in Gopis that they can be with God himself.

He to whom the present is the only thing that is present, knows nothing of the age in which he lives.
