to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
The topmost surrendered devotee are the gopis. There is no more higher
exalted devotees than the gopis. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu recommended
that the gopis, ramya kacid upasana vraja-vadhu-vargena ya kalpita. There is
no better type of worshiping Krsna than the method by which gopis worship
Krsna. They, their love was so intense that they did not care for any
family, any honor or any prestige -- nothing. That is the highest, topmost
loving stage of Krsna. And Krsna also loved the gopis, so much so that Krsna
asked them that "You cannot expect any return from Me for your ecstatic
love. I cannot give you. It is beyond My power." So they purchased Krsna.
And the topmost gopi is Radharani.
