MADE BY LOVE - The Creation of Nava Vrajavana

CC Adi 4.83: "The transcendental goddess Srimati Radharani is the direct counterpart of Lord Sri Krishna. She is the central figure for all the goddesses of fortune. She possesses all the attractiveness to attract the all-attractive Personality of Godhead. She is the primeval internal potency of the Lord."


saptame gaura-varna-vishnor ity anena sva-saktya caikyametya prante pratar avatirya saha dvaih svam anusikshayati 
In the seventh manvantara (Vaivasvata Manu), the Supreme Personality of Godhead Shri Gaura-Vishnu will accept a golden complexion due to attaining oneness with His pleasure potency Shrimati Radhika and descend on this earth [...]" Purusha-bodhini Upanishad-Atharva-veda, 6th Prapathaka

ONE SPECK OF DUST!

SB 4.20.25 "My dear Lord, You are glorified by the selected verses uttered by great personalities. Such glorification of Your lotus feet is just like saffron particles. When the transcendental vibration from the mouths of great devotees carries the aroma of the saffron dust of Your lotus feet, the forgetful living entity gradually remembers his eternal relationship with You. Devotees thus gradually come to the right conclusion about the value of life. My dear Lord, I therefore do not need any other benediction but the opportunity to hear from the mouth of Your pure devotee."

SECRETS IN VRAJA



Listen to the unsaid things
Of the song that Radha sings

                                       Gita Govinda

SB 10.21.4 "The cowherd girls began to speak about Krishna but when they remembered His activities, O King, the power of Cupid disturbed their minds, and thus they could not speak.

The Gopis spend their daytime speaking about Krishna.
He is in the forest and their feelings of separation churn their love while they wait anxiously for His return.  Gopis' love for krishna is kept secret because of social constraints. So, in silences and in bodily expressions and in crooked discourses and puns, lovers, unmistakably, conceal messages of deep love.
Therefore the Gopis talk  indirectly referring to their love for Krishna, by glorifying the birds, the clouds, peacocks, all the living entities of Vraja, who get His association.   So, after long talks their voices choke in recalling His activities and beauty to their friends and love inflames their hearts.  The Gopis' minds always reach out to Krishna enabling them to see Him through the love in their hearts, this makes the Gopis' love for Krishna the highest expression of Love of Godhead.
