The Story of Uddhava’s Message to the Gopis

After Lord Krishna left Vrindavan to live in the city of Mathura, the hearts of the gopis—the loving cowherd girls of Vrindavan—were filled with longing. Every day, they remembered Krishna’s sweet smile, His flute, and all the magical moments they shared by the Yamuna river and in the flowering forests.

The gopis’ love for Krishna was so deep that even though they could not see Him, they felt His presence in every flower, every song of the birds, and every gentle breeze. Among them, Radha’s love was the purest and most selfless, teaching everyone the meaning of true devotion.

In Mathura, Krishna thought of the gopis too and wished to send them a special message of love and wisdom. He called His dear friend Uddhava, a wise and gentle soul, and said, “Please go to Vrindavan and give My message to the gopis. Tell them that I remember their love always, and explain the path of true devotion.”

Uddhava traveled to Vrindavan and was welcomed with kindness. When he saw the gopis, he was amazed by the depth of their love for Krishna. The gopis asked, “O Uddhava, how is our beloved Krishna? Does He remember us? Our days and nights pass only by remembering Him.”

Uddhava shared Krishna’s message: “Krishna wants you to know that He lives in your hearts, even though you cannot see Him. He is never far away from anyone who loves Him truly. True devotion is when we think of the Lord at all times, whether we are near or far.”

The gopis listened, their eyes full of tears and joy. They told Uddhava, “We do not want anything for ourselves. All we wish is to serve Krishna, to remember Him, and to love Him forever.”

Uddhava was deeply moved. He realized that the gopis’ love for Krishna was the highest kind of devotion—selfless, pure, and always thinking of the Lord before themselves. Uddhava prayed to one day have even a small portion of their loving devotion.

When Uddhava returned to Mathura, he told Krishna, “The gopis have taught me more about love than anyone else. Their hearts are your real home.”

The story of Uddhava’s visit to Vrindavan reminds us all that true love for God is never separated by distance, for the Lord lives in the hearts of His devotees always.

Moral for Young Vaishnavs:
True devotion means loving God without asking for anything in return and remembering Him in your heart at all times. Pure love and faith keep us close to the Lord, no matter where we are.
