Talk About Krishna, Think About Him,

and Chant His Holy Names

When affection is developed for Krishna, one surpasses and transcends all Vedic injunctions

Krishna addressed the Gopis thus:

"It is better for you to go home, simply talk about Me and think of Me, and by this process of constantly remembering Me and chanting My names, you will surely be elevated to the spiritual platform. There is no need to stand near Me. Please go back home."

The instruction given herein by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, to the gopis was not at all sarcastic. Such instructions should be taken very seriously by all honest women. The chastity of women is specifically stressed herein by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, this principle should be followed by any serious woman who wants to be elevated to a higher status of life.

Krishna is the centre of all affection for all lliving creatures. When this affection is developed for Krishna, one surpasses and transcends all Vedic injunctions. This was possible for the gopis because they saw Krishna face to face.

- Srila Prabhupada in Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
