In the rich and soulful tradition of Sanatan Dharma, the worship of Gopal Ji — the child form of Lord Krishna — holds a very special place in the hearts of devotees.

Let’s understand the deep spiritual significance and benefits of this sacred practice.
🌼 Who is Gopal Ji?
Gopal Ji, also known as Baal Gopal, is the childhood form of Lord Krishna — the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This adorable, playful form of Krishna represents divine love, joy, innocence, and divine leela (cosmic play). He is often worshipped as a child in homes with great affection — bathed, dressed, fed, and cared for just like a real baby.
