"Os Vaiṣṇavas Gauḍīya, em geral, seguindo os passos de Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, eles aspiram a tornarem-se assistentes das Gopīs. Há outros que gostam de ser assistentes dos vaqueirinhos. Então, nossos Gosvāmīs, eles eram todos assistentes das Gopīs. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu estava sempre a pensar nas actividades de Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, e os Gosvāmīs, eles também estavam a pensar nas actividades das Gopīs. Actividades das Gopīs significa ajudar Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī a servir Kṛṣṇa."
(Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedānta Svāmī Prabhupāda)
"The Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas, generally, following the footsteps of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they aspire to become one of the assistants of the Gopīs. There are others who like to be the assistants of the cowherd boys. So our Gosvāmīs, they were all the assistants of the Gopīs. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was always thinking of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī's activities, and the Gosvāmīs, they were also thinking of the Gopīs' activities. Gopīs' activities means to assist Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī how to serve Kṛṣṇa."
