nadyah kadacid agatya

vasamsi krishnam gayantyo
vijahruh salile muda


TRANSLATION


One day they came to the riverbank and, putting aside their clothing as they had done before, happily played in the water while singing the glories of Krishna.


PURPORT


According to Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, this incident occurred on the day the young gopis completed their vow, which was a full-moon day. To celebrate the successful completion of their vow, the girls invited young Radharani—the daughter of Vrishabhanu and the special object of their affection—along with other important gopis, and brought them all to the river to bathe. Their playing in the water was meant to serve as the avabhritha-snana, the ceremonial bath taken immediately upon the completion of a Vedic sacrifice.

Srila Prabhupada comments as follows: “It is an old system among Indian girls and women that when they take bath in the river they place their garments on the bank and dip into the water completely naked. The portion of the river where the girls and women take bath was strictly prohibited to any male, and this is still the system. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, knowing the minds of the unmarried young gopis, awarded them their desired objective. They had prayed for Krishna to become their husband, and Krishna wanted to fulfill their desires.”

Sri Katyayani vrata ( Worship ) Part - 12



The Bhagavata Purana in 10th Canto, 22nd Chapter, describes the legend of Katyayani Vrata, where young marriageable daughters (gopis) of the cowherd men of Gokula in Braja, worshipped Goddess Katyayani and took a vrata or vow, during the entire month of Margashirsha, the first month of the winter season, to get Lord Krishna as their husband. During the month, they ate only unspiced khichri, and after bathing in the Yamuna at sunrise, made an earthen deity of the goddess on the riverbank, and worshipped the idol with aromatic substances like sandalwood pulp, and lamps, fruits, betel nuts, newly grown leaves, and fragrant garlands and incense. This follows the episode where Krishna takes away their clothes while they were bathing in the Yamuna River.

She is worshiped as the Demigod who if you make vow of fasting, would give you the husband you have wished and prayed for. The fasting, called Kätyäyané-vrata is made for a whole month, offering such things as sandal, flowers, incense, etc.

"During the month of Märgaçérña, every day early in the morning the young daughters of the cowherds (gopis) would take one another’s hands and, singing of Krishna’s transcendental qualities, go to the Yamunä (Jamuna) to bathe. Desiring to obtain Krishna as their husband, they would then worship the goddess Kätyäyané with incense, flowers and other items".


Each day they rose at dawn. Calling out to one another by name, they all held hands and loudly sang the glories of krishna while going to the Kälindé (Kalindi--personified Jamuna) to take their bath. [ Source :http://en.wikipedia.org ]

Sri Katyayani Vrata ( Srimad Bhagvatam : 10.22.8 ) Part - 13

Chapter Twenty-one contains twenty verses, describing how Krishna entered the forest of Vrindavana in the autumn, playing His flute, and how He attracted the gopis, who were singing His glories. The Twenty-second Chapter contains thirty-eight verses, describing how the gopis prayed to the goddess Katyayani to obtain Krishna as their husband and how Krishna later stole the garments of the gopis while the gopis were bathing in the Yamuna. (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srimad Bhagavatam 10th Canto Summary.)

sri-suka uvaca



bhagavams tad abhipretya
krishno yogesvaresvarah
vayasyair avritas tatra
gatas tat-karma-siddhaye


TRANSLATION


Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and master of all masters of mystic yoga, was aware of what the gopis were doing, and thus He went there surrounded by His young companions to award the gopis the perfection of their endeavor.


PURPORT


As the master of all masters of mystic power, Lord Krishna could easily understand the desires of the gopis, and He could also fulfill them. The gopis, like all young girls from respectable families, considered the embarrassment of appearing naked before a young boy to be worse than giving up their lives. Yet Lord Krishna made them come out of the water and bow down to Him. Although the bodily forms of the gopis were all fully developed, and although Krishna met them in a secluded place and brought them fully under His control, because the Lord is completely transcendental there was not a trace of material desire in His mind. Lord Krishna is the ocean of transcendental bliss, and He wanted to share His bliss with the gopis on the spiritual platform, completely free of ordinary lust.

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura explains that the companions of Krishna mentioned here were mere toddlers two or three years old. They were completely naked and were unaware of the difference between male and female. When Krishna went out to herd the cows, they followed Him because they were so attached to Him that they could not bear to be without His association.

Krishna Steals the Garments of the Unmarried Gopis

This chapter describes how the marriageable daughters of the cowherd men worshiped Katyayani to get Lord Sri Krishna as their husband, and how Krishna stole the garments of the young girls and gave the girls benedictions.



Text 12


tasya tat kshvelitam drishtva
gopyah prema-pariplutah
vriditah prekshya canyonyam
jata-hasa na niryayuh


TRANSLATION


Seeing how Krishna was joking with them, the gopis became fully immersed in love for Him, and as they glanced at each other they began to laugh and joke among themselves, even in their embarrassment. But still they did not come out of the water.


PURPORT


Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura explains this verse as follows:

“The gopis were from most respectable families, and they might have argued with Krishna: ‘Why don’t You simply leave our clothes on the bank of the river and go away?’

“Krishna might have replied, ‘But there are so many of you that some of the girls might take clothes belonging to another.’

“The gopis would reply, ‘We are honest and never steal anything. We never touch another’s property.’

“Then Krishna would say, ‘If that’s true, then simply come and get your clothes. What is the difficulty?’

“When the gopis saw Krishna’s determination, they were filled with loving ecstasy. Although embarrassed, they were overjoyed to receive such attention from Krishna. He was joking with them as if they were His wives or girlfriends, and the gopis’ only desire was to achieve such a relationship with Him. At the same time, they were embarrassed to be seen naked by Him. But still they could not help laughing at His joking words and even began to joke among themselves, one gopi urging another, ‘Go ahead, you go first, and let us see if Krishna plays any tricks on you. Then we will go later.’ ”

It is difficult for ordinary persons like myself to get into such deep lila. However, I was in Vrindavan Dham at Chir Ghat a few weeks ago , during Kartik. A shloka was read by one local brijvasi boy while he asked me to offer a piece of cloth on the tree.
It struck me all of a sudden and the vibes still keep echoing in the mind.
