Gyro - its interesting that you have raised the statement that gopikas are just thougths are in reality not true wives/concubines/lovers of krishna.
thats exactly the same with the whole mahabharat - is what we should also explore to beleive in.
as much as how gopikas are explained as selfless love, bakthi, prema (as u say) is what the whole mahabarat could be... hidden messages woven beautifully in a story format.
every stage of ramayana and mahabarat are messages on how to live life woven extraordinarily in a massive mega story format with various sub stories.
today u have doctrates and students in research decipering various new things.
have we thougth as a possibility the below..
yesteryears - students of gurukul under the guidance of guru's to have done R&D at la doctorate, to simplify the messages of SD to the next generations.. maybe the best format decided was the format of STORY, to take the messages to the masses.. maybe the masses didnot understand SD and the Upanishads.. so a story format could be simpler and get the attention and surrender of people, if its depicted as KRISHNA/RAMA the all pervading.
so maybe thats how these epics where formed?!!!!
infact if u notice, more recently buddha came up with simple stories (Jakarta) involving animals and humans in short stories with messages to the common man. he had a moral in each story.
we have moral science in school.
so why cant the epics be great work with a moral in each part... we have lost the morals and are holding on to the stories and its characters.
maybe thats what the great students/gurus thougth also.. if tomorrow the morals are lost, the story will stand the test of times and will benifit the god fearing... they were wiser.
cheers
