PART 1 Sloka: tṛṇād api sunīcenataror api sahiṣṇunā (Siksastaka 3). Mahaprabhu said that in Kali-yuga, the only sadhana is harinama.

PART 1

Shyamala-gopi wants to have darshana of Krishna.

The gopis blame Krishna’s flute for stealing their chastity.

The gopis devise a plan to steal Krishna’s flute.

They steal it from Madhumangala.

The ranks of Lalita and the other sakhis of Srimati Radharani.

The stolen flute is hidden in Srimati Radharani’s braid and slips out of there when Sri Krishna bows to Sri Radha.
