THE GOPIS SEARCH FOR KRISHNA GAME

THE GOPIS SEARCH FOR KRISHNA GAME

A child is chosen to play Krishna by reciting one Hare Krishna mantra. The other players represent the gopis. They cover their eyes and count to 100 while Krishna hides. Then they all begin to search for Him, calling to Him and chanting His name. The first one to find Him hides in the same place, quickly and quietly. The next players to find Him hide there too. The game continues until all the gopis are hiding with Krishna. Then the gopi who first discovered the hiding place plays Krishna next. Now He hides and the others try to find him. It’s very hard not to make a noise or giggle when someone finds Krishna.
