In this beautiful song of the gopÄ«s, we are taken to ÅšrÄ« Vá¹›ndÄvana, to the bank of the YamunÄ, where the gopÄ«s are expressing the deep pain in their hearts in their separation from ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa. The moods of their song would be impossible to understand had our venerable ÄcÄryas not revealed them. In ÅšrÄ« ÅšrÄ«mad BhaktivedÄnta NÄrÄyaṇa GosvÄmÄ« MahÄrÄja's commentary, he draws on the meanings they imparted, sprinkling them with the splendid realizations in his own heart, along with well grounded instructions for us all.
