The Lord’s Advent: Yoga-māyā’s Mission, Saṅkarṣaṇa’s Transfer, and the Demigods’ Prayers
गच्छ देवि व्रजं भद्रे गोपगोभिरलङ्कृतम् । रोहिणी वसुदेवस्य भार्यास्ते नन्दगोकुले । अन्याश्च कंससंविग्ना विवरेषु वसन्ति हि ॥ ७ ॥
gaccha devi vrajaṁ bhadre gopa-gobhir alaṅkṛtam rohiṇī vasudevasya bhāryāste nanda-gokule anyāś ca kaṁsa-saṁvignā vivareṣu vasanti hi
أمرَ الربُّ يوغا-مايا: «يا أيتها الإلهة المباركة، اذهبي إلى فْرَجَ، المزيَّنة بالرعاة (غوبا) والراعيات (غوبي). هناك في غوكولا نندا تقيم روهِني زوجة فاسوديفا، وزوجات فاسوديفا الأخريات يعشن هناك متخفّيات خوفًا من كَمسا. اذهبي إلى هناك».
Nanda-gokula, the residence of King Nanda, was itself very beautiful, and when Yoga-māyā was ordered to go there and encourage the devotees with fearlessness, it became even more beautiful and safe. Because Yoga-māyā had the ability to create such an atmosphere, the Lord ordered her to go to Nanda-gokula.
FAQs
Because Vraja (Nanda’s Gokula) is presented as a safer refuge from Kaṁsa’s persecution, where Rohiṇī and other wives are already sheltered.
Rohiṇī is Vasudeva’s wife who resides in Nanda’s Gokula; she is associated with the Yadu family and is sheltered in Vraja during Kaṁsa’s threat.
Seek the shelter of a spiritually safe environment (satsaṅga and dharmic community) when facing fear and pressure, and protect devotion through wise, timely action.
