Vamsivat
On the beautiful full moon night of the sarat season, Krisna started to play a sweet tune on His flute (vamsi) and call gopis. They stopped everything and run toward they beloved in the midst of night. "When the young woman of Vrindavan heard Krisna's flute song, which arose their romantic feelings, their minds were captivated. They wanted to go where their lover waited. Each unknown to others, moving quickly and their earrings swung back and forth." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.29.4)...

Prahlad,
All Gopis in Vrindavan forget their surroundings & as if enchanted, proceed in the direction of the Murlidhar Krishna.

All the Gopis gather and put themselves in Rasleela (the highest ethnic dance in Bhaktiras), which was attended by all the "Mayas" of the supreme Lord in thy presence forgetting their own entity. This is the highest stage in Bhaktimarg. In Rasleela there is no 'I' & 'you' ! all are one, it is beleived rhat the Ras is the symble of "eko ham ! Dwitio nahi" means what we veiw are emergence from that one & to further multiply more ones, and would be finally merged in that one.
It is said, to days also "at midnight Lord Krishna plays fluet in Vrindavan & all the Gopis (maya of the Lord of the Lords) come there to join and do Rasleela, the ethnic danc of bhaktiras"

The appearance of the moon increased Krishna's desire to dance with the gopis. The forests were filled with fragrant flowers. The atmosphere was cooling and festive. When Lord Krishna began to blow His flute, the gopis all over Vrndavana became enchanted. Their attraction to the vibration of the flute increased a thousand times due to the rising full moon, the red horizon, the calm and cool atmosphere, and the blossoming flowers. All these gopis were by nature very much attracted to Krishna's beauty, and when they heard the vibration of His flute, they became apparently lustful to satisfy the senses of Krishna.
Immediately upon hearing the vibration of the flute, they all left their respective engagements and proceeded to the spot where Krishna was standing. While they ran very swiftly, all their earrings swung back and forth. They all rushed toward the place known as Vamsivata. Some of them were engaged in milking cows, but they left their milking business half finished and immediately went to Krishna. One of them had just collected milk and put it in a milk pan on the oven to boil, but she did not care whether the milk overboiled and spilled--she immediately left to go see Krishna. Some of them were breast feeding their small babies, and some were engaged in distributing food to the members of their families, but they left all such engagements and immediately rushed towards the spot where Krishna was playing His flute. Some were engaged in serving their husbands, and some were themselves engaged in eating, but neither caring to serve their husbands nor eat, they immediately left. Some of them wanted to decorate their faces with cosmetic ointments and to dress themselves very nicely before going to Krishna, but unfortunately they could not finish their cosmetic decorations nor put on their dresses in the right way because of their anxiety to meet Krishna immediately. Their faces were decorated hurriedly and were haphazardly finished; some even put the lower part of their dresses on the upper part of their bodies and the upper part on the lower part.
