Lord Krishna and Radha

Krishna the cow herder enjoyed the dance of love (rasa-lila) with the gopis many of whom are expansions of His own internal energies. The supreme gopi known as Radha is the object of Krishna's highest devotion. The beautiful dance of rasa- lila would occur in the autumn season at night under a full moon when Lord Krishna would captivate the young gopis with the extraordinary music of His flute.
