[Smt. Priyanka asked: Gopikas were incarnations of sages. Whereas, Chandralekha was the incarnation of a Goddess. Was she the only one, who was the odd one out in the group of Gopikas? If so, was she born to set a specific example regarding facing opposition from worldly relations in the category of care not-devotion?]
Swami Replied:- Raadhaa was the incarnation of God Shiva whereas Chandralekha was the incarnation of Goddess Satii. Both left their lives for the sake of God. Both demonstrated the pure devotion to God at the cost of their own lives. In both cases, the family bonds opposing their devotion to God were responsible. Krishna can be treated as God Shiva directly because both God Vishnu and God Shiva are one and the same. All this is a divine drama to preach the devotees regarding real and pure love to God.
