Here in this material world they are so much attached to sex life. So it is Caitanya Mahāprabhu who first of all opened this secret of attachment within Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa love affair, it was Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu opened. It was there in the Bhāgavatam, but other ācāryas, like Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, they propogated Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa, very courteous service to Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. Nobody spoke about love between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu took sannyāsa when He was only twenty-four years old. He had very beautiful young wife at home, very affectionate mother, old mother, and there were nobody else to take care of them. They belonged to a very highly respected Brahmin family. The Brahmin family, they do not accumulate money and bank balance. And the lady, they can plea, "If something comes tomorrow, then we shall eat." That is brahminical culture, not that I keep something for tomorrow; even after eating, it is not finished, then I keep it in the refrigerator. No. Everything should be finished today, and tomorrow we shall see. Tomorrow we shall depend on Kṛṣṇa. That is Brāhmaṇa culture. So in this condition He left home, Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Why? Anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayāvatīrṇaḥ kalau ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 1.4|CC Ādi 1.4]]).

There were many incarnations of Kṛṣṇa, hundreds and thousands, but this incarnation gave us something unique. Anarpita-carīṁ cirāt karuṇayā: taking compassion with the fallen souls of this age.

([[Vanisource:CC Adi 1.4|CC Ādi 1.4]], Vidagdha-mādhava 1.2)

Here in this material world they are so much attached to sex life. So it is Caitanya Mahāprabhu who first of all opened this secret of attachment within Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa love affair, it was Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu opened. It was there in the Bhāgavatam, but other ācāryas, like Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, they propogated Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa, very courteous service to Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa. Nobody spoke about love between Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. This is the unnatojjvala, very highly elevated spiritual affairs. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu disclosed this. The idea is, if one is . . . becomes attracted with the loving affairs of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, then he will forget the so-called sex enjoyment in this material world.

:yadavadhi mama cettaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravinde
:nava-nava-rāsa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt 
:tadavadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne
</div>

(Yamunācārya)

You will find that Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa līlā the gopīs, they are simply helping Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa to combine, jaya rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī (Gītāvalī). The kuñjas in Vṛndāvana, there are nine bushes, so the gopīs are helping to attract meeting of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in those kuñjas. They are personally not interested to meet with Kṛṣṇa directly; they want to see Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa meet, and they enjoy.
