Gopi-gita - The Gopis' Song of Separation

In this beautiful song of the gopis, we are taken to Sri Vrndavana, to the bank of the Yamuna, where the gopīs are expressing the deep pain in their hearts in their separation from Sri Krsna. The moods of their song would be impossible to understand had our venerable ācāryas not revealed them. In Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja's commentary, he draws on the meanings they imparted, sprinkling them with the splendid realizations in his own heart, along with well grounded instructions for us all.
The Sanskrit words gopi-gita mean ‘the beautiful song of the gopis.’ We learn from the ancient Vedic literature and from our lineage of spiritual masters that the gopis are the transcendental expansions of Sri Krsna’s inherent inconceivable power, His pleasure-giving potency, Sri Radha. It is by the influence of this internal power that the Absolute Truth Sri Krsna exists in four features: His personal form as the supreme cause of all causes and supreme relisher of all transcendental mellows; His incarnations along with Their abodes and infinity of divine pastimes; all living entities; and the unmanifest state of material nature.
Five thousand years ago, the great sage Srila Sukadeva Gosvami mercifully revealed the gopis’ divine song during his recitation of Srimad-Bhagavatam to the saintly King Pariksit, as they sat together on the banks of the Ganga, surrounded by numerous sages and self-realized souls. Those Gopi-gita verses later manifested as Srimad-Bhagavatam’s Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-one.
