Parama Caitanya Hari Tāṅra Śakti Baneśwarī
Sarva Sakhīra Paraspara Bhāva — The Relationships of All the Sakhīs
The Vedas say Lord Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His transcendental potency is the queen of Vṛndāvana forest. To serve the master of all potencies, the transcendental potency manifests many other potencies from Her own form.
Thus the sandhinī potency manifests the various worlds, the samvit potency manifests knowledge and the individual spirit souls who stand on the border of matter and spirit, and the
hlādinī potency manifests the gopīs.
The eternally perfect gopīs (sakhīs) are all manifested from the hlādinī potency. The root of the hlādinī potency is Śrī Rādhā. Candrāvalī and the other gopīs are all followers of Śrī Rādhā. No one can place any obstacle before Śrī Rādhā's love for Lord Kṛṣṇa.
The way of spiritual love is wonderful. Although she seems to be a rival, Candrāvalī nourishes Rādhā's love for Lord Kṛṣṇa. Although they are different persons in different forms, with a single heart the gopīs please the youthful divine couple of Vraja.
