We tend to think that others love us unconditionally, but the truth is that such love ceases to occur if we do not fulfill their needs. Let us aspire to be like the Gopis of Brajwho loved Shree Krishna in Madhurya Bhav with total selflessness (Nishkamta). Their devotion was constant (Nirantar) and exclusive (Ananya). Like the Gopis, the only souls who love us unconditionally, selflessly and constantly are God and Guru.

On this Gopi Prem Diwas, let us understand the meaning of true and divine love which is ever-increasing. Please join us to celebrate Gopi Prem Diwas at the beautiful Radha Krishna Temple of Dallas (Allen) in acknowledgement of their true and pure love for us souls.

Feel free to come to this divine Temple in the bhav of a Gopi and offer flowers or a garland for our beloved Shree Radha-Krishna. If you wish, cook some Bhog for them with love and offer it to them, Shree Sita-Ram and Shee Maharajji during the afternoon or evening Bhog. The Divine God and Guru always accept whatever devotees offer with love.

पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति |
तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मन: || 26||

patraṁ puṣhpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayachchhati
tadahaṁ bhaktyupahṛitam aśhnāmi prayatātmanaḥ

If one offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or even water, I delightfully partake of that item offered with love by My devotee in pure consciousness [Bhagavad Gita 9.26].
