The mental agony of Gopikās without kṛṣṇa: A discussion
Nilachal Mishra
God kṛṣṇa is the most important God in Hindu religion. He is the God of love. He possessed supreme quality and he is the origin of all wealth. Kṛṣṇa had limitless power which is existed from his birth. He is known as pārthasārthī because he acted as the charioteer of Arjuna during mahābhārata war. Śrīkṛṣṇa played with gopikās which is famous as Rāsalīlā. The Bhāgavatpurāṇa describes that līlā and the mental agony gopikās in the absence of kṛṣṇa very beautifully. The mental agony of gopikās described in the tenth Skanda of Bhāgavad mahāpurāṇa. The primary focus of Bhāgavat mahāpurāṇa is bhakti and that bhakti is towards kṛṣṇa. The nectar or rasa which finds in this purāṇa, that is not seen in another text of Indian literature.
