messengers.

Duties to be performed without attachment. Otherwise
unhappiness is the consequence. If too close or far from the situation, or

Krishna Krishna Everywhere
We continue to revel in the Lila's of Lord Krishna
Brahmaji’s Moha
Bhanga
·
Brahmaji wanted to test Bhagvan’s divinity – so he
hid the calves and the gopas
·
Lord Krishna multiplied Himself and assumed the
exact forms of the missing calves and boys.
·
Every Home, every family is Vrindvan was filled
with the Highest Love!
·
Brahmaji realized his mistake and sought
forgiveness.
·
Lord is the very Self of all beings. When the
gopas loved Lord Krishna they were actually expressing love for their own Self –
though they did not even know that Lord Krishna is the personification of their
very Self!
Krishna – Everyone’s
Darling
·
Everyone is irresistibly attracted to Krishna –
why ? it is the nature of the human mind to adore beauty in any and every form.
·
Where ever we experience beauty – whether it is
a painting through our eyes or music through our ears etc – we admire the person for their extraordinary
expression.
·
Most people are loved and respected all over the
world for just one great quality – imagine how much we will love someone who
has “all” the great qualities !!
·
Lord Krishna was absolute perfection all around
! This is what endears Him to all.
·
If we also grow our virtues like being dutiful
and obedient kids to our parents, cheerful and friendly with friends, respectful
and kindhearted to all – we will also be a darling of all!!
Dhenukasura Salvation
·
Asura Dhenuka (a donkey) lived in Tadavana with
his ferocious herd of donkes and did not let anyone eat the delicious fruits
from the garden.
·
Krishna and Balarama killed the asura and the
other donkeys and the garden was free for the romp and play of the gopa boys.
Kaliya Mardanam
·
Lord Krishna danced on the ferocious 100 hooded
snake and humbled his ego.
·
River Yamuna is also known as Kalindi – the daughter
of the self luminous sun.
·
Kalindi represents our Lord in us, the consciousness
in us – self luminous.
·
Kaliya with his 100 hoods represents the
multitude of poisonous vices that come to live in our minds.
·
Kaliya is poisonous – he keeps the mind agitated
and impure (like the waters of the Lake Madu). Let’s bring Lord Krishna into
our hearts and minds – Let Him dance His magical dance on these hoods of vices
and stamp them out !
·
Focus on 3 specific vices you want to stamp out.
