“Certainly no means of perfection is superior to the worship of Sriman Madana-gopala’s lotus feet. That worship yields results far beyond what one would expect. It should be performed daily through nama-sankirtana, along with reverence and affection for the many places of Sri Gopala’s pastimes— places which one should regularly visit.”

[ Srila Sanatana Goswami, Brihad Bhagavatamrta, 2.1.104-105 ]

“From the very birth of Lord Hari this place of Vraja had again become complete with all worldly opulences. And since Vraja was the place of residence of Sri Hari it had especially become the playground of all Lakshmis ( gopis). Moreover, just like the beautiful rabbit-marked moon beautifully stands out among the various stars, the form of Sri Radha was especially magnificent among them all. Moreover, the moon in its waxing phase only exhibits its ordinary brightness, but Sri Radha exhibited a beautiful brightness filled with amazing qualities.”

[ Srila Jiva Goswami, Gopal-purva-campu, 15th Purana ]
