To save him from his maternal uncle Kansa wrath, the infant Krishna was spirited away soon after birth to Gokul, the village of the gopas (cowherds) in Braj. It was here that he grew to manhood, in the tender care of his foster parents Nand and Yashoda in the happy company of the cowherds.

Lord Krishna was a world-teacher and a lover of men. His divine form holds the heart of India captive even today. The Bhagavata, the Mahabharata, the Vishnu Purana-all proclaim Sri Krishna was the only one with that beauty and elegance of form in all the three worlds. Lord Krisna was a noble embodiment of all the great qualities of head and heart. His childhood lilas contain countless object-lessons for all thinking men. He was a glorious and extraordinary personality.

He did Rasalila, the secrets of which can only be understood by devotees like Narada, Radha, the Gopis and Sri Gouranga. Lila is the mosaic of music and dance of Krishna with the gopis: as a group and with Radha in particular. His frolic with the gopis expresses the intimate relationship between God and the devotees, where the melody flowing from Krishna's flute is the call of the Divine, inviting all creatures to rejoin God in eternal bliss. His affair with Radha accentuates the linkage between the human soul and the Divine.
