THE LILA OF THE GOPIS
The lila of the Gopis seems to be conceived as something which
is always going on in a divine Gokul and which projected itself
in an earthly Brindavan and can always be realised and its
meaning made actual in the soul. It is to be presumed that the
writers of the Puranas took it as having been actually projected
on earth in the life of the incarnate Krishna and it has always
been so accepted by the religious mind of India.
