My Gratitude

Without the inspiration of Srila Prabhupada and the guidance of my spiritual master, Bhakti Gauravani Goswami Maharaja, I would never have dared to attempt writing this book.

Without the support of my husband, Parama Karuna Dasa, I could not have accomplished anything.

Without the collaboration of the cowherds, I would not have had much to tell.

And without readers, this book would have no meaning.

My deepest gratitude.

I also wish to thank my family, who are always present.

But above all, my thanks go to the Supreme Cowherd, Krishna, who has, in His kindness, allowed us to enter—if only in part—into His intimate pastimes: those enjoyed among cows and gopas, pastimes not so easily approached.
