For Vraj Gopis, Krishna is in their souls and their mental faculties, in their life-breaths, their senses and their bodies, in external objects. The total love of these Gopis is seen, by their renouncing entirely all worldly things, everything that was theirs, and even their very Selves (Krishna alone becomes their self), made themselves a blank paper on which Hrishikesh (Lord of senses-Krishna) could write whatever He wished. Here with this surrendered attitude there was literally nothing left of the Gopis as persons- they had made themselves mere instruments for Krishna to do what He wished with. To Gopis, Krishna was the sole basis of their continued existence because Krishna was the only desire that remains for them and it is not overstating if we conclude that if this desire were not present, their very selves, their very existence would disappear. When we read, let us think that we are sitting in the assembly where Maharishi Shree Shukadeva is reciting Srimad-Bhägavatam to Maharaja Parikshith. Or, let us think that we are in Vrindavan, at the place where the Gopis are speaking with Sri Krishna. Let us humbly prostrate to these Gopis, take them as our Gurus, to bless us to have the same moods as they have, to be on the same platform as they are, so that we could also sing the Gopi Geet & be blessed to see the divine form of Lord Sri Krishna please open the link & listen Gopi Geet.. .https://youtube/watch?v=9F16Xuv4AOo गोप्य ऊचुः जयति तेऽधिकं जन्मना व्रजः श्रयत इन्दिरा शश्वदत्र हि । दयित दृश्यतां दिक्षु तावका स्त्वयि धृतासवस्त्वां विचिन्वते ॥१॥ The gopis said: O beloved, Your birth in the land of Vraja has made it exceedingly glorious, and thus Indira, the goddess of fortune, always resides here. It is only for Your sake that we, Your devoted servants, maintain our lives. We have been searching everywhere for You, so please show Yourself to us. शरदुदाशये साधुजातसत्सरसिजोदरश्रीमुषा दृशा । सुरतनाथ तेऽशुल्कदासिका वरद निघ्नतो नेह किं वधः ॥२॥ O master of our hearts, we are your priceless servants. O beloved, fulfiller of all our desires, Is it not slaughter on your part to strike us with the rays of your divine eyes which are more beautiful than the petals of a beautiful lotus in the clear autumn lake ? विषजलाप्ययाद्व्यालराक्षसाद्वर्षमारुताद्वैद्युतानलात् । वृषमयात्मजाद्विश्वतोभया दृषभ ते वयं रक्षिता मुहुः ॥३॥ O Mighty One! from the destruction through the poisonous water of Yamuna [by the demon Agha in the guise of a Kaliya snake], from deluging rain and raging storms, from lightning and from demons Vrishabh and Vyom, time and again, you have protected us from various types of fears.. न खलु गोपिकानन्दनो भवानखिलदेहिनामन्तरात्मदृक् । विखनसार्थितो विश्वगुप्तये सख उदेयिवान्सात्वतां कुले ॥४॥ You are not just the son of Yashoda. but you are inherent witness in all embodied beings. O eternal companion! In response to the prayer of Brahma, the creator of the universe, you have reincarnated among the yadus to protect the world. विरचिताभयं वृष्णिधुर्य ते चरणमीयुषां संसृतेर्भयात् । करसरोरुहं कान्त कामदं शिरसि धेहि नः श्रीकरग्रहम् ॥५॥ O the fulfiller of all desires! whoever takes refuge in your lotus feet from the torments of samsara (materialistic world), they become fearless by your protection. O our beloved, the bestower of all boons, do lay your hands on our head. व्रजजनार्तिहन्वीर योषितां निजजनस्मयध्वंसनस्मित । भज सखे भवत्किंकरीः स्म नो जलरुहाननं चारु दर्शय ॥६॥ O Destroyer of the miseries of the inhabitants of Vraja! Your mere smile is enough to shatter false pride of your love ones. O our beloved companion, graciously accept us, your servants. We are fully surrendered at your lotus feet. Show your most beautiful lotus like face to us. प्रणतदेहिनां पापकर्शनं तृणचरानुगं श्रीनिकेतनम् । फणिफणार्पितं ते पदांबुजं कृणु कुचेषु नः कृन्धि हृच्छयम् ॥७॥ Your lotus-feet destroy the sins of those who submit to you - the lotus feet that follow the foot steps of grazing cows, and which are coveted by the goddess of Fortune, and which gracefully danced on the hood of Kaliya Snake. O Lord, please put your lotus feet on our chest(heart) to soothe our burning desire and rid us of the sorrows lurking in our hearts. मधुरया गिरा वल्गुवाक्यया बुधमनोज्ञया पुष्करेक्षण । विधिकरीरिमा वीर मुह्यतीरधरसीधुनाऽऽप्याययस्व नः ॥८॥ O Lotus-eyed One! Your speech is so sweet. Every single word, every little sound, every single letter is very charming. Even the most wise and learned get engrossed in it and sacrifice everything for it. After tasting the nectar of the sound of your voice, your faithful Gopis are falling in love. Now give us the gift of life with the divine nectar from your lips.. तव कथामृतं तप्तजीवनं कविभिरीडितं कल्मषापहम् । श्रवणमङ्गलं श्रीमदाततं भुवि गृणन्ति ते भूरिदा जनाः ॥९॥ The nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. These narrations, transmitted by learned sages, eradicate one’s sinful reactions and bestow good fortune upon whoever hears them. By mere listening to them removes all sins and sufferings and bestows the supreme bliss and welfare as well. Certainly, those who spread the message of Godhead are most munificent. प्रहसितं प्रिय प्रेमवीक्षणं विहरणं च ते ध्यानमङ्गलम् । रहसि संविदो या हृदिस्पृशः कुहक नो मनः क्षोभयन्ति हि ॥१०॥ Your smiles, Your sweet, loving glances, the intimate pastimes and confidential talks we enjoyed with You—all these are auspicious to meditate upon, and they touch our hearts. But at the same time, O deceiver, they very much agitate our minds. चलसि यद्व्रजाच्चारयन्पशून् नलिनसुन्दरं नाथ ते पदम् । शिलतृणाङ्कुरैः सीदतीति नः कलिलतां मनः कान्त गच्छति ॥११॥ O beloved master, your feet are more tender and beautiful than a Lotus. When you take the cows for grazing, our hearts become restless at the very thought of your feet being pricked by the spiked husks of grain and the rough grass and plants. It is indeed painful for us. दिनपरिक्षये नीलकुन्तलैर्वनरुहाननं बिभ्रदावृतम् । घनरजस्वलं दर्शयन्मुहुर्मनसि नः स्मरं वीर यच्छसि ॥१२॥ At the end of the day, when you return from the forest, we see your beautiful lotus face covered with dark curly locks and covered with dust. Our beloved, when You repeatedly show us Your lotus face, You arouse lusty desires in our minds. प्रणतकामदं पद्मजार्चितं धरणिमण्डनं ध्येयमापदि । चरणपङ्कजं शंतमं च ते रमण नः स्तनेष्वर्पयाधिहन् ॥१३॥ Your lotus feet, which are worshiped by Lord Brahma, fulfill the desires of all who bow down to them. They are the jewels of this universe, In times of difficulty, they are appropriate object of meditation, by which all sufferings are removed. O the resident of Kunj ! Please put your pious lotus feet on our chest (heart) to bless and give peace to confer supreme beatitude and peace to us. सुरतवर्धनं शोकनाशनं स्वरितवेणुना सुष्ठु चुम्बितम् । इतररागविस्मारणं नृणां वितर वीर नस्तेऽधरामृतम् ॥१४॥ O our hero, Fill us with your enchanting music which drop like ambrosia from the flute kissed by your lips and the pitch, which heightens our spiritual ecstasy, dispel our sorrows and make us oblivious to every other allurement. Your sweet music is divinely intoxicating. अटति यद्भवानह्नि काननं त्रुटिर्युगायते त्वामपश्यताम् । कुटिलकुन्तलं श्रीमुखं च ते जड उदीक्षतां पक्ष्मकृद्दृशाम् ॥१५॥ O our beloved, during the day, when you go off to the forest, every moment (without seeing you) passes like a yug (age). When you return in the evening and we eagerly look upon your most beautiful face framed with curly locks, our pleasure is hindered by our eyelids. At that time, we feel that the creator of eyelids made it without reason. पतिसुतान्वयभ्रातृबान्धवानतिविलङ्घ्य तेऽन्त्यच्युतागताः । गतिविदस्तवोद्गीतमोहिताः कितव योषितः कस्त्यजेन्निशि ॥१६॥ Dear Achyuta, You know very well why we have come here. We have disobeyed and disowned our own relatives, husband, son, brother and our family just to have a glimpse of You. Who, but a cheater like You, would abandon young women like us, who come to see You in the middle of the night, captured by the melodious music of Your flute? रहसि संविदं हृच्छयोदयं प्रहसिताननं प्रेमवीक्षणम् । बृहदुरः श्रियो वीक्ष्य धाम ते मुहुरतिस्पृहा मुह्यते मनः ॥१७॥ Our minds are repeatedly bewildered as we think of the intimate conversations we had with You in secret, feel the rise of lust in our hearts and remember Your smiling face, Your loving glances and Your broad chest, the resting place of the goddess of fortune. Thus we experience the most severe hankering for You. व्रजवनौकसां व्यक्तिरङ्ग ते वृजिनहन्त्र्यलं विश्वमङ्गलम् । त्यज मनाक् च नस्त्वत्स्पृहात्मनां स्वजनहृद्रुजां यन्निषूदनम् ॥१८॥ O beloved, Your all-auspicious manifestation is for the removal of sorrows of residents of Vraja and for the well being of the entire universe. Our heart and mind long for your heavenly association. Please bless us with some remedy that will put an end to the pain in our heart. यत्ते सुजातचरणाम्बुरुहं स्तनेष भीताः शनैः प्रिय दधीमहि कर्कशेषु । तेनाटवीमटसि तद्व्यथते न किंस्वित् कूर्पादिभिर्भ्रमति धीर्भवदायुषां नः ॥१९॥ O dearly beloved! As your feet are more tender than a lotus, we use utmost caution while putting them on our chest(heart). With same tender feet you wander in the deep forest bare feet. The mere thought of you treading with those tender feet on the thorny, stony paths in the forest give us pain and we loose our wits. O Lord, our existence is only for you. We are only living for you. We are only yours!! इति श्रीमद्भागवत महापुराणे पारमहंस्यां संहितायां दशमस्कन्धे पूर्वार्धे रासक्रीडायां गोपीगीतं नामैकत्रिंशोऽध्यायः ॥ https://youtube/watch?v=9F16Xuv4AOo Attachments area Preview YouTube video Gopi Geet (full) - Shri Thakurji
