gopala

Gopala is another name for the Hindu God Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna is known as Krishen, Kanhaiya, Gopal, and Gopala, and various other names. He is usually depicted with either a flute in adult form, and surrounded by women; or as a kid eating butter as a child, as he was known to be a butter thief!
Gopala is not a very commonly used name, very few Gopalas around now, so if you know one, hang on tight!!!
