If there is no right or wrong except what a god decides is right or wrong, then that bends reality around his decisions. It makes right and wrong merely a whim. Naturally this creates chaos, which is perhaps what you have observed in this passage. I don't know the nature of this passage, however perhaps it is not meant to be taken as a statement of fact but as a logical test for you. What do you think about that?

You didn't ask me, but since this is an internet forum, I'll answer anyways.

You have Krishna here, an incarnation of Vishnu, stealing the Gopi's clothes.

If the Divine isn't uptight about silly pranks and nudity, maybe we oughta not be, either.

Another way I've read it is Krishna(or your chosen form of God) doesn't want us to be ashamed. He(or she) wants us to come to him/her just as we are. We don't need to cover up.

If I correctly understand you, you are thinking that right and wrong are not based upon the whims of individual gods and goddesses. Therefore this passage suggests that perhaps the reader is too uptight about nudity?

What's right and wrong changes from place to place, era to era.

If the reader looks at this story and is horrified, it may say more about the reader than Krishna or the Gopis.

It doesn't mean the reader is wrong(or right, or anything in between)... it just tells us something about that reader.

This reply surprises me, because it brings up a relevant development. My family uses a popular social network service, and we put a lot of family posts and pictures on there. New developments like kids growing old enough to drive are celebrated there. In recent years this free and advertising supported service has changed its format. Now when I visit to network with friends or to communicate with family or see developments in their lives, I am deluged with advertisements for prostitutes. These come in the form of videos which I am unable to opt out of.

Do I have a problem with porn? No. Do I want it on this service which is for dealing with family? No. Its perverse. Do I want to support prostitution and perhaps human trafficking on the service which I use to see family and friends? No.

So in a way it seems related to this thread.

I actually left Facebook over that, over a decade ago. Though it wasn't simply advertising, it was a lot of visually explicit posts from folks I honestly liked besides their posting behavior.

I'm sorry you have to put up with it.

I agree, it shouldn't be there.

I'm not really a fan of the idea of porn(told you I'm not much fun). I don't expect the world adopt my views, though. There oughta be a time and place for such, at the very least, and more times and places its not appropriate(in my opinion). But the business world doesn't care. They want what sells...

I think the perverse ads you're seeing and the Gopis and Krishna differ. The ads are merely selling sexual content; there isn't much humanity to it.
The Gopis and Krishna were childhood mates. It was a prank between friends. As Krishna grew into a young man, the Gopis would all fall for him(Radha in particular).

In Hinduism, it is okay to desire God as a spouse or lover(it is a form of Bhakti worship). I don't think union with the divine are what the ads are shooting for...

Thank you, that really helps me understand this thread better!
