Ah so we need a prayer for this. Sri Krishna told Arjuna that through abhyasa the chancal mind can be controlled. But more easily said then done but I guess there is a turning point.

Well I feel that if one has full faith in God then one wouldnt even mind any situation one finds oneself in, whether prosperous or not. Krishna consciousness itself wud B enough for the bliss !

They say we must have the faith and confidence but still effort on our part is also required as God does not want us to be lazy but put in our efforts too.

It is said that those who trust and believe in God will always be able to survive.

Swami Vivekananda tried to test God during one of his journeys and so he did not go out to beg or look for food and sure enough someone carrying food came after him.

But his Guru Ramakrisna Paramahansa held back the experience of the ulitimate until Swami Vivekananda had finished the allotted task on earth.

Very beautiful topic and introduction.

Krishna to be is divinity...his flute is a hollow bamboo, brought to life only by his blow of air! ... And the tune are His guidance, His teachings, His divine attributes ... listening to which the Gopis (also the name of the scholars of his time ... and gopi is not just the female) danced, forgetting all. Danced with joy.

Anyways ... do carry on, adding peace and love for all.

Try these links if you have the time or interest ... they are interesting nonetheless...

Thanks interesting. I have read about many holy incarnations and saints and sages but Radhe Shyam is truly irreplaceable ( eventhough all the incarnations are the same soul).

yes Bhai has a nice universal concept.

The relationship between God and the individual is very personal and goes beyond religion. Religion is only a guide and not an end in itself. Religion should be given its proper respect but any religion that does not foster good relationship needs to be rexamined.

Why doth the heart search the world, for what lies within?

Its not the heart but the mind and the senses that are outward looking and trying to experience the physical world but I must say creation is a work of art too. Kudos to the Big Guy.

In search of krishna..I cant agree with Shree krishna's some acts...for eg: why Shree Krishna forcibly collected sixteen thousand women as his wives,... without marrying them...and they were all married, they had children, thy had husbands...bt he was powerful, fascist..... Any woman he liked was immediately taken to his palace, without any consideration of what will happen to the children.... Sixteen thousand women! No other man in the whole of history has been so ugly😕I feel bad😃...No offense to Shree Krishna and his believers .....just a thought...😊

Ah Krishna did everything for a good cause and with reason. But humans are blinded by their ignorance and narrowness, like eg Kamsa whom Krishna destroyed eventhough he was his uncle.

Krishna even destroyed his own race before leaving the world as he knew that they had grown too powerful and would be a menace.

Krishna could have destroyed the Kauravas but he used Arjuna so that he could impart the Gita.

It is very difficult for us to understand divine actions.

When Brahma stole all the children and cows, Krishna created an exact replica of the cows and gopis and gopas and this lasted for a year.

I came across this to reply to Vinu ji and the 16,000 women of Krishna.

Good question..

According to our hindu mythology, God has created 10 avatars (Dasavataram) where each avatar explain us unique meaning. So that, human beings can follow that and make their lives in more meaningful and spiritual way..

For example, if you ask any girl what kind of guy you want to marry, she undoubtely will tell that I want a person like Rama as my life partner...Y?
As Ayodya Rama is the person proved himself as a great son, great husband, great ruler/king, great kind hearted person, Great brother.
He has fulfilled all his responsibilities in such a way that we still worship him and showed how a Man should live his life.....

At the same time, Lord Krishna also proved how a person loves other with their full heart. He didn't himself married 16,000 gopikas. Infact, gopika's like Krishna very much and they pleased Krishna to be their husband once. They all admire Kirshna in such a way that they just only know one thing that is love. Radha is the aunt of Krishna but still they love each other....
In this avatar, he showed how to love a person with heart....
But you may thinking physically he married 16,000 gopikas.....thats untrue....He blessed all his gopikas with his love......

For example, take father in a family.....He loved by all the family. Though he acts as a son, brother, husband, father, cousin, friend roles in his life but the heartful love which he showers on the people will be same...........

Ok.....

But the real story seems to be this:

The second day of the Diwali festival, is the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashvin, and is called Narak-Chaturdashi or Kali Chaudas and also known as Chhoti (-small) Diwali. This day is dedicated to the victory of Lord Krishna over the wicked demon king Narakasur.

Lord Vishnu and Sudarshana Chakra (from Wikimedia)

Narkasur had fought against neighbouring kings and imprisoned 16,000 women, daughters of the Gods and saints. He had also defeated Lord Indra and taken away the magnificient kundale (earrings) from the ears of Aditi, mother of the Gods. When Lord Krishna learnt about Narakasur's deeds, he decided to engage him in battle and liberate all the celestials.On hearing of this proposed battle Satyabhama, Lord Krishna's wife, took this task upon herself and with his help killed Narkasur with Krishna's sudarshana chakra (originally given to him by Lord Vishnu). As a symbol of the victory Lord Krishna smeared his own forehead with the demon's blood. On his return, the womenfolk massaged his body with scented oils and gave him a good bath to wash away the filth.

Quote: Meaning of Krishna

"Karshathi-ithi Krishna --Because he attracts, he is Krishna." Krishna has the supreme power of attraction. By his words, his sport, his music, and all his actions he attracts all people. This power of attraction is present in everyone. Hence, everyone is potentially Krishna.

"The name Krishna has to be properly understood. 'Krish' + 'Na' = Krishna. This means that He is one who cultivates (Krish) the heart. 'Karsh' + 'Na' is another derivation, which indicates that Krishna is one who attracts ('Krishnati it Krishnah'). Krishna attracts people not only by the matchless beauty of his form. He attracts people by his music, his dance, his sports and his words.

Teachings of Krishna

Bhagwan Krishna says, the only way to achieve life long happiness is to surrender to him.

Why do you worry unnecessarily? What are you afraid of? Who can kill or destroy you? A soul is never born, so it never dies.

Whatever happened in the past, happened for the best; whatever is happening, is happening for the best; whatever will happen in future, will happen for the best. Do not repent the past, do not worry for future, concentrate on your present.

What did you own, that makes you cry on losing? What did you bring, that you fear losing? What did you give birth to, that you fear its destruction? You didn't bring anything. Whatever one takes, one must return it to God. Everyone came empty handed and will therefore die, empty handed.

Whatever belongs to you today, belonged to someone else yesterday and it will belong to some one else tomorrow. Don't be illusioned by Maya. Maya is the root cause of all pain and misery.

Change is the rule of nature. What one understands, as death is actually life itself. One moment you are the owner of crores and in the very next moment you become a pauper.

Your body doesn't belong to you and vice versa. Body is composed of five elements- Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Sky; one day it will perish in these elements.

Offer yourself to the Almighty Lord. This is the best support. One who knows this unconditional support gains freedom from fear, worry and despair.

It will be Baha'i. Did you make an error in spelling? I hope so.

I also find Baha'i principles and explanations very attractive. There are more explanations about Radhe Shyam with the Baha'is. Make a study if you would like to consider an insight.

Any religion which divides rather than unites, is not worth following.
