     Krishna wanted to play in the water with the Gopis. So he took a water sport device and filled with water. He had his clothes tied tightly. At that time a Gopi came and stood like a warrior in the water. At that time Krishna hugs her tighlty from the back without her knowledge. In this very happy moment they see each other and get engrossed. This Krishna who is playful with the Gopis and is a medicine giving life to his devotees should protect us.
