Headed by Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, the beautiful young girls of Vrajabhūmi constantly meditated upon Lord Kṛṣṇa,and became drowned in pure love for Him. Very dear to Him, theyattained the stage of prema-bhakti (devotional service in pure love of God), which is free from any taint of material fruitive activities. In their desire to attain Kṛṣṇa, they rejected all concern for popular opinion, Vedic convention, and even their ownchildren, husbands, and homes. I repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto them.
