Krishna Teasing the Gopis
Krishna is often shown with a flute.
When he played his flute all the gopis or milk-maids fell in love
with him.
He is often depicted with the gopis all around him. It is said that he
had intercourse with 16,000 women and fathered as many as 80,000 sons. He
would tease the gopis and take their clothes.
This is the quest for union with the divine. |
