What's a GOPI? Gopis’
are kind of like Groupies’ except their rock star is Krishna..... aka God. His body is a
smoky shade of blue, and when not shirtless, he wears rather sexy bohemian
garb and often eyeliner. Like Pan in Greek Myth, Krishna plays a mellifluous flute,
luring the Gopis’ of Vrindaven. Gopis' are depicted as country cowherd girls
or milkmaids. They are all in Divine Devotional Love with Polyamorous practicing Krishna. When he
plays his “flute” they drop everything and run to him in wild abandon and “dance”
in Bhakti Bliss. It is said that Krishna, in the Divine embodiment of God,
replicates himself in order to dance with each Gopi in the illusion that she is
the only one who is dancing with him. Merciful or duplicitous? He gets around. But he does have a favorite Gopi (don’t they all), Radha. There are said to
be seven others close to him; Asta Sakhis (8 Gopis') all together to form the core
group of beloveds. Beyond those there are quite a few more… a Harem as it were. After all,
he is God.
