PURNAVATAAR

All of us has seen a picture like this one –KRISHNA , BALARAM and their friends stealing butter . The LORD is the MASTER OF BLISS, so by only having a glimpse of this butter stealer , our hearts get filled with BLISS . All the elder persons feel the VAATSALYA RAS while watching any picture of the LORD . It just fills their heart with LOVE for HIM . As a child HE was very sweet to YASHODA . When the GOPIS would come to her to complain about KRISHNA , HE never admitted to YASHODA that HE actually steals butter . Besides HE would say that they were telling lies . Such was the MAYA of the LORD that YASHODA also believed HIM ! Actually , all the GOPIS loved to watch HIM stealing from their house and they also felt that LONGING for HIM . They only pretended to get angry but waited for HIS visit everyday . Sometimes they also kept butter in such a place so that KRISHNA can find it easily . This experience filled them with BLISS . They were true DEVOTEES of the LORD . As BUTTER , the LOR

Completing my earlier post on the Flute , now i shall discuss how all of us can try to hear the music of the LORD'S Flute . # As we know that the bamboo goes through rigorous stages when the holes are made in the piece of wood , in the same way we all have to go through hardships ( the tests ) of GYAN / KARMA/ BHAKTI YOG to attain this blissful state . We have to become hollow from inside ( leaving our ego ) , so that the LORD can take us and play music through us ( our soul ) . We should remember to leave every negative emotions behind . Because if we continue with hatred , anger , jealousy , ego --- then our soul will not be useful for HIS purpose ( to play through our soul/being ) . With each different hole of a flute , an unique sound comes out . In the same way as we keep on leaving all the worldly desires one by one and cross the tests of the chosen path ( GYAN / KARMA/ BHAKTI YOG ) , each time a different level ( musical note ) is achieved . Thus through al

Today i am going to write about an important feature of the LORD , that is HIS FLUTE . It always remains with HIM , HE is known as the MURLIDHAR . I shall try to discuss various significances of the FLUTE . # The FLUTE is the oldest musical instrument known to mankind , it is valued for its mellodious sound .Generally a FLUTE is made of bamboo , it has no machanical part in it . In this way , the FLUTE is very close to nature . And if it is used in a natural surrounding , it can produce immense effect . Sometimes one can experience how Nature itself answers back by echoing the music of a Flute when used in the lap of nature ( forests or mountains) . # It is said that after listening to the Flute played by KRISHNA , people felt like -- "We lost ourselves compltely , We know not who we were ." ( i don't know who is the composer of these 2 lines , but i loved them and used here . Due credit goes to the original composer for expressing such wonderful experience in so s

Today again i will try to discuss about peocock feathers . # There are all the seven colours in the feather , which implies that the WHOLE UNIVERSE is reflected in it ( as HE is the MASTER OF THE WHOLE WORLD) . # The colours of the feathers may also imply HIS true colours ( i. e. -- we can find HIM in every mood and in every role possible on earth , like son , brother , lover , husband , friend , guide , master and many many more ..) . # In a poacock feather , there is a bluish dot at the centre which is called the EYE . It can be identified as ILLUMINATION . ( it signifies our LORD , who is also BLUE in colour ) . And the golden , green and all the other colours which surrounds the blue EYE can be seen as spirit of common human beings , meditating for that DIVINE ONENESS . # The EYE of the feather signify both KNOWLEDGE and BEAUTY . The LORD combines KNOWLEDGE with HIS love for BEAUTY . HE sees BEAUTY everywhere ( in fact , HE makes everything beautiful with HIS DIVINE touc

Today i will write about another chief feature of the LORD -- the peocock feathers in HIS crown . We all have noticed that peacock feathers are an inseparable part of HIS crown . Now i will try to discuss the significances of these feathers . # Feathers tell us how much the LORD loves and values even simple eveyday objects . # Feathers are a proof of HIS time spent in bliss with peacocks . ( Here i want to narrate the incident -- one day when HE was in the jungle with peocock and other animals , suddenly they mistook HIM as cloud , because of HIS blue colour; and started dancing . HE also became involved in the dance and they all danced for long time creating a beautiful atmosphere . Eveyone enjoyed the scene and at the end, the leader of the birds gifted the LORD those feathers as a token of their love and blissful state experienced in the company of the LORD ) . # In those days there was a belief to consider peacocks as unlucky . But here the LORD's love for them

Today again i am writing about the different implications of the blue colour of LORD KRISHNA . # The blue colour can also be a symbol of ocean . LORD KRISHNA is as vast as an ocean . Like an ocean , HE conveys the qualities of calmness , tranquility and completeness . # I have found out two interesting scientific symbolisms also - : a) Blue or black can resemble the BLACK HOLE as well . Black hole attracts even the light ! Like that LORD KRISHNA can conquer anyone upon HIS will . HE is the SUPREME ( - the ALL - ATTRACTIVE ONE ) . b) Blue signifies both spatial ( or horizontal ) and vertical , which can be termed as plane and depth . What i can make out of this particular theoey is that LORD KRISHNA signifies both earthly pleasures ( horizontal ) as well as spiritual progress (vertical ) . # Blue is a colour between 2 extreme colours - black and white (though i think grey colour co

Today i will start a series on various features of LORD KRISHNA . And i will try to discuss their relevance or the symbolisms which they convey . At first i should tell you about the various sources which helped me in understanding these features . Regarding this topic i have read a lot from books , internet , and i have listened to many satsangs . So i cannot point out any single source - all these has helped me in forming my views . Another thing i want to mention is that THE LORD is unfathomable . If i can really understand a minute particle of HIM or HIS creation that will be enough for me . So this blog is my humble endeavour to sing the glory of the LORD . I never -ever claim to be an authority on LORD KRISHNA . HE is truly THE ULTIMATE ONE . No words are enough to describe HIM . THE BLUE COLOUR -- Traditionally LORD KRISHNA has always been painted or refered as blue - coloured . I found it really striking and searched for the reasons or sources of this particular colour . I got

Today i am going to write about the reason why i get fascinated by Lord K rishna . Though it is quite difficult to express, but i will try. The very first reason for this is THE GITA . There the MASTER tells us that we should forget everything and only remember HIM. HE tells us to take Refuge in HIM and HE will save us. HE also tells us in THE GITA that HE loves HIS Devotees . If a devotee prays to HIM with utmost sincerity and always keeps HIM in his mind, LORD KRISHNA also loves that bhakta and he becomes very dear to HIM. This assurance is something very Striking! I just felt that everyone is unique to HIM. This is the first reason which prompted me to know more about LORD KRISHNA. The next reason is also related to THE GITA . As i was reading it, I came to know that HE governs everything of this universe, HE has power over everything yet HE doesn't want to possess anything. HE creates everything and then sets them free . In THE GITA also, HE inspires us to Let Go Everythin

In this blog i will write about my observations and understandings about LORD KRISHNA. I just don't know where to start. HE is the ULTIMATE ONE. HE dwelled not in the heaven, but very close to us, whom we can consider as a person on earth, like all of us . HE was a human being as well as an AVTAAR. My understanding is in a very priliminary stage, but i am experiencing a feeling of Overwhelming Joy after reading and knowing more about the LORD. So this is my attempt to express my Joy and to let others know about the GLORY of the LORD. I know GOD will be with me in this new attempt. With best wishes to all Dpriya
