Recently, I ran across this song “Gopi Gita”, which is a 19-verse devotional song Composed by Sage Vyasa as part of the Bhagavata Purana. Turns out it is basically verses 1-19 from the Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, chapter 31. I don’t know if it is a bonafide song, as it is not in our “Songs of the Vaisnava Acaryas” songbook. And Srila Prabhupada didn’t get to Canto 10, Chapter 31, in his translations before his passing. He did however Give us “KRSNA The Supreme Personality of Godhead“, so we have the entire song in one beautiful chapter.

Chapter 31

One gopī said, “My dear Kṛṣṇa, ever since You took Your birth in this land of Vrajabhūmi, everything appears to be glorious. The land of Vṛndāvana has become glorious, and it is as if the goddess of fortune is personally always existing here. But it is only we who are very unhappy, because we are searching for You, but cannot see You with our greatest effort. Our life is completely dependent upon You; therefore we request that You again come to us.”
