Jayapataka Swami:  Ha! On some days they dress Dameswar Gauranga as a gopi. I don’t know if it is correct or not. But this is the tradition in Navadvip that every Friday they dress Lord Caitanya as a gopi. I really don’t know if this is allowed to dress Krsna as a gopi. He is a cowherd boy and He likes to be with the cowherders. So this is something that I have to research, if there is any temple that dresses Him as a gopi and if there is any mention of that in the sastra. Hare Krsna!
