Bhagavan
Shri
Krishna
’s
Vraj
Lila’s
indispensable
mates
are
Shri
Radhikaji

Shri
Yamunaji.
Yamuna,
is
not
merely
a
river,
she
is
literally
the
fluid
form
of Bhakti,
utter
devotion,
flowing
eternally.
She
provides
a
path
to
those
who
seek
Krishna
sailing
in
the
boat
of
devotion. |

During
the Raasotsava
when
Shri
Radhikaji
was
upset
because
of
Shri
Krishna’s
sudden
disappearance
(to
bring
down
the
ego
of
other gopanganas),
the
Lord
sent
Shri
Yamunaji
in
his
own
costume
and
ornaments;
moreover
she
also
looked
like
him
(saarupya)
to
wipe
away
the
gloom
from
Shri
Radhikaji’s
face.
Since
than
Shri
Yamunaji
is
always
seen
in
clothes
and
ornaments
similar
to
Shrinathji
(Shri
Krishna).
