Krishna & Gopis

Gopi is a word of Sanskrit (गोपी) origin meaning 'cow-herd girl'. In Hinduism specifically the name gopi (sometimes gopika) is used more commonly to refer to the group of cow herding girls famous within Vaishnava Theology for their unconditional devotion (Bhakti) to Krishna as described in the stories of Bhagavata Purana and other Puranic literatures. Of this group, one gopi known as Radha (or Radhika) holds a place of particularly high reverence and importance in a number of religious traditions, especially within Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

  1. According to Stanford Medical, It's really the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh on average 19 kilos less than we do.

    (And really, it is not about genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING to around "how" they are eating.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...
