this is recognition
In the Dwapar era, Lord Krishna used to perform Raas at Belvan on the banks of the Yamuna near Mant. Once Lord Krishna played the flute during Maharas, its sound reached Devlok. When Mahalakshmi asked Naradji, he told that Lord Krishna is playing the flute on the banks of the Yamuna in Belvan. Mahalakshmi reached Belvan and when she wanted to enter the Raas, the Gopis present there stopped her. Mahalakshmi called the gopis good or bad.
Shri Krishna felt bad, he told Mahalakshmi that these are not ordinary gopis. He has achieved the good fortune of joining the Raas by doing penance for thousands of years. If you also want to participate in the Raas, then first you have to please the Gopis by doing penance. Only then I will include you in the raas. It is believed that since then Mahalakshmiji is doing penance here in the form of Gopi. In Dwapar Yuga this place was called Belavan because of the abundance of Bael trees. It is only two kilometers away from Vrindavan.
