|| Gopi Geet ||

Srimad Bhagavat contains Gopi Geet. It is contained in the first half of book ten, chapter 31, verses 1 to 19 of Bhagavat Purana.

In nineteen tender verses, Gopis, narrate his glory at the time of his disappearance during the Rasa Leela. Krishna planned Rasa leela to lift Gopis' to a higher spiritual state. Lord Krishna was perturbed by the introvert pursuit of Gopis and in order... to teach them a lesson, he disappeared into the forest.

Gopis became breathless when they did not find Krishna, Bemused Gopis' looked all over. Then, with their mind, soul and body in unison with Krishna's memories, they arrived at the banks of river Yamuna. Immersed in his unfathomable love and earnestly longing for his heavenly vision, Gopis' started singing the glory of his divine grace and the very tunes became known as Gopi Geet - cries for Krishna.
