For women, Krishna is a personal god, always accessible and unfailingly responsive.
One of the central features of the feminine Krishna legends is the infantilization of the god and, implicitly of the ideal male by women. In striking contrast to the masculine identification with Krishna, Hindu women perceive and experience him primarily as an ideal son-mischievous, irresponsible and intrusive in a delightful, almost thrilling way. At the same time, Krishna's very playfulness reflects the deep sexual comfort and security of the idealized bond of intimacy between Hindu mother and son.
