But amongst
the gopis and the cowherds boy and the Vrndavana inhabitants, there is
no business. "We love Krsna unconditionally. That's all. We do not
know anything except Krsna." This is Vrndavana atmosphere.

You have seen
the picture in our Nectar of Devotion. Krsna's friends... Krsna is
resting. They are all engaged in service. Somebody is fanning,
somebody is massaging. Although they are friends, there is equality,
none of them think that Krsna is greater than them. No. They think, "Krsna
is our friend, very nice friend, very beautiful friend, and very
powerful friend." Every day they go to the forest, and they see one
demon is killed by Krsna. So they become very much devoted. Their love
for Krsna increased by seeing Krsna's activities, beauty, opulence.
Similarly, the gopis. So they did not think Krsna is God. They did not
know. Even Mother Yasoda, Nanda Maharaja, all the inhabitants of
Vrndavana, they did not know, neither they did care to know whether
Krsna is God or not. They simply loved Krsna, without any
identification.We are worshiping God, Krsna, because we are impressed
with so many things, that Krsna is the Supreme Lord, He is the
Absolute Truth. And therefore we are little inclined. "All right, let
us serve Krsna if He is God." You see? There is some condition: "If
Krsna is God, so if I do not love, if I do not worship, there may be
something wrong." So that is business. But amongst the gopis
and the cowherds boy and the Vrndavana inhabitants, there is no
business. "We love Krsna unconditionally. That's all. We do not know
anything except Krsna." This is Vrndavana atmosphere.

Dear Prabhu's please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please forgive my offenses. I humbly request you to send any quotes from Srila Prabhupada which describe his transcendental qualities and pastimes. In this way together we may be able to compile a book for his glorification and our meditation on his exalted personality. Thankyou. Your servant Mukunda dasa.
