    Of course He likes Chandravali too but the left wing gopi known as Srimate Radharani has Him wrapped around Her little finger and Sri Krishna stole Srimate Radharani's mood to taste the Highest manifestation of Radhabhava in His form of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. "The left wing and right wing of the gopis has been explained by Rupa Gosvami in his Ujjvala-nilamani. The left wing is described in this way:mana-grahe sadodyukta tac-chaithilye ca kopana
    abhedya nayake prayah krura vameti kirtyate
    "A gopi who is always eager to be jealously angered, who is very enthusiastic for that position, who immediately becomes angry when defeated, who is never under the control of a hero, and who always opposes Him is called a vama, or a left-wing gopi."
    Srila Rupa Gosvami describes the right-wing gopis in this way:
    asahya mana-nirbandhe nayake yukta-vadini
    samabhis tena bhedya ca dakshina parikirtita
    "A gopi who cannot tolerate womanly anger, who speaks suitable words to the hero, and who is satisfied by His sweet words is called a dakshina, or a right-wing gopi."

Vrinda Devi , Baladeva, and the Gopis, by HH Tripurari Swami acbssp

Q. The Srimad Bhagavatam describes Krishna's pastimes with the cowherd girls (gopis) and in one place says that Krishna's brother Balarama was romantic with the gopis as well. The text reads as though Krishna and Balarama were involved with the same gopis but the commentary to verse 10.65.17, which cites Sridhara Swami, Jiva Goswami, and Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, states that this was not the case. The question I have is why couldn't Balarama, being an expansion of Krishna and thus the…

The Glories of Krsna's Flute

The Glories of Krsna's Flute Third-gender devotees especially relish hearing the pastimes of Lord Krsna’s venu or flute. In the spiritual world, all objects—both animate and inanimate—are fully conscious and possess personified forms. Thus, verses describing Krsna’s flute as male are not merely allegorical. In the Bhagavata Purana, the gopis exclaim among themselves as follows:   My dear gopis, what auspicious activities must the flute have performed to enjoy the nectar of Krsna’s lips…
