Just imagine being an eternal gopa, you a cowherd boy who likes to travel with Krsna Balarama to eternal kirtans in many villages of Vrndavana area. They do kirtan, everyone dances, prasadam is served. Night falls, the villagers rest. Lord know where Krishan is very late at night.
The kirtan starts next morning again, taking up where it left off, Everyone is ecsatic, some crying, others shaking, and many smiling very broadly. The kirtan goes on, Krsna and Balarama leave with our kirtan party, and go to the next village. We will be back again in a week or so. The kirtan just gets sweeter and the prasadam tastier. Never stops.
Coming back from riding ebikes and paddling our kayaks on mirror-like blue pools and stream in the forest, filled with fish and m,any fruits hanging from lush fragrant gorgeous scenic trees, filled with birds and gentle monkeys, with Murari.
Later then approaching the festive flowered garden gates of the Rasa lila grounds, where you enounter beloved Siva Manjari and greet Her your siksha Guru devi with great affection and appreciation of her ecstatic merciful qualities.
In older than Krsna gopi form, manjari, one can take care of baby Krsna and Balarama and Sudevi, and protect Him, take Him to the lake and bathe,to enjoy the sweet forest, sit under the gentle warm Goloka-style waterfall, eat peanuts from the shell and watch the birds and Goloka animals, and share nuts to them. Some come close to be with Baby Gopal. even deers come ! Wee birds try to land on His arm sometimes, drunk with nectar. The parrots like to sing there, and otherwise be very mishievovus and playful
You enter the Gate, and instantly you are that eternal gopi manjari, whose duty is to serve prasadam, play instruments, and radiate joy and service, and love, as the joyous party continues into the eternal night.
Thus one can relish so much more, as gopa dasa and gopi dasi both. Apparently this is possible by the Divine Grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and Srila Gopiswara Mahadeva Siva Manjari devi.
