The natural beauty of Vrindavan is often detailed in stories about Krishna's life and lush flowers and creepers often help set the scene for Krishna's meetings with his consort Radha in the forests of Vrindavan. Certain gopis (milkmaids) called sakhis help facilitate Krishna and Radha's illicit meetings in the forest. Each sakhi has a special talent that she uses to make the couple's time together as enjoyable as possible. Making an allusion to the flowers and creepers of Vrindavan, Swami Sivananda had this to say about the sakhis' service to Radha and Krishna: A Sakhi does not yearn to play with Krishna all by herself. She feels a keener delight in contriving Krishna's dalliance with Radha. Radha is indeed the wish-yielding Creeper, Kalpalata, of the love of Krishna. The Sakhis are the leaves flowers, and shoots of the creeper. If the nectar of dalliance with Krishna waters the creeper, the leaves, etc., take delight in it million times more than if they themselves had been watered.
