Pure love for Krishna transcends knowledge of His divinity, uniting all souls across race and culture through ecstatic devotion.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Yaśodāmāyi was always thinking of Him, "Here is my son. How to give protection? How to give Him food? How to..." She did not that He is God, but she knew...
Gopī knows... He did not know what is Kṛṣṇa. They know "There is God." That's all. That God is in front of them, that they did not know.
They thought, "Our beloved child, beloved friend, dear master..." That's all, absorbed in Kṛṣṇa. That is the..., their purpose. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They weren't distracted by Kṛṣṇa's opulence as God. Prabhupāda: Hmm? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They weren't distracted by Kṛṣṇa being God. They were simply seeing Kṛṣṇa. [break] Prabhupāda: ...saw the universes, universe, within the mouth of Kṛṣṇa.
So he... She was desiring so many things. Then, when there was no solution, "Oh... He's my child." That's all.
She forgot everything, that, what his desire was, what she desired[?], whether it is magic or this or this or that: "Don't mind. There is my child. That's all." [pause] Hare Kṛṣṇa. [break] Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: This is his wife.
So they were friends. She was this woman's friend before this woman knew about Kṛṣṇa. So she's trying to encourage her.
Prabhupāda: Very good. [break] ...yātrā is going on nicely. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: She's supposed to appear in New York Ratha-yātrā, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
