Krisna and Rasa Lila in Gokulam - Explanation

.
These days people unknowingly or knowingly comment on krishna's leela in gokula, but what is the real fact, we can analyze... The lila performed by krishna in gokula is called rasa lila.

Timeline of Sri Krishna's Life
======================

Birth
========
Appearance at midnite of Sravana, Rohini star, Ashtami of Krishna paksha (July 19/20), year 3228 BC to Devaki

Taken by Vasudeva from Mathura to Nanda and Yasoda in Gokula

Garga muni performs the naming ceremony and names the baby as Krishna.

Till 3 Years of age
=====================
.lived in Gokula

. killed Putana, Sakatasura, Trinivarta demons

3 - 6 years of age
====================
. moved to Vrindavana

.killed Bakasura, Aghasura, Dhenuka

. moved to Nandagrama

7 - 10 years of age
======================
. Brahma steals and returns cowherd boys

. Govardhana puja & lifted mount Govardhan

. Played rasa-lila with the gopis  <<<<  Is 7-10 age boy behaviour like this is wrong???

. invited to Mathura for wrestling match

. killed Canura and Balarama killed Mustika

. killed Kamsa and Balarama killed his brothers

Rasa Lila is played when they were children. It was a divine love not sexual love. All gopis felt that Krishna was dancing with them alone. It is a beautiful story of pure love that has been made into a sexual fantasy for the artists. Radha was a gopi.

In south India (tamil nadu and Kerela) they never had this Radha. It was always Rukmani Satyabhama sametha krishnmasrye. Mira and Andhal also believed to loved Krihna, Similarly Raskhan and Jaydeva also loved Krishna. There is no sexuality involved in these relationship. People are so limited that they have to understand with their limited brain. So they express divine love in terms of sexual love.

So understanding krishna is quite complex, if you do not understand, then try to surrender, thats the only way..
