Damsels of Vraja

Pastime Behind the Puzzle!

During the month of Margasirsa, every day early in the morning the young daughters of the cowherds would take one another’s hands and, singing of Krishna’s transcendental qualities, go to the Yamuna to bathe. Desiring to obtain Krishna as their husband, they would then worship the goddess Katyayani with incense, flowers, and other items. The Vaisnavas generally do not worship any demigods. Yet the damsels of Vraja, who are beyond compare in their affection for Krishna, were seen to worship Durga. But we must understand the purpose of the damsels of Vraja. Generally, people worship the goddess Durga for some material benediction. Here, the Damsels of Vraja prayed to the goddess to become the wives of Lord Krishna. The purport is that if Krishna is the center of activity, a devotee can adopt any means to achieve that goal. The damsels of Vrindavan could adopt any means to satisfy or serve Krishna. That was the superexcellent characteristic of the gopis. They worshiped goddess Durga completely for one month in order to have Krishna as their husband. Every day they prayed for Krishna, “The son of Nanda Maharaja, to become their husband.”
