Impact of Various Sources about Shri Krishna on me

Wishing Happy Janmshtami to all of you! Today I am going to write about the Lord after a long time. After reading many books, realising his Lessons and also feeling the Bliss within me, I become so emotional that sometimes it becomes quite difficult to express that experience which I go through. Mainly that is the reason of my Long Absence :) from this Favourite Blog of mine. This has been my Most Favourote Blog from the time of its conception, it is really close to my heart as it is the expression of my feelings for the Lord . But as soon as I start writing, I become so involved in His thoughts that writing becomes impossible for me. Today again I am trying, as this is the Blessed Day when He appeared on this Earth. Now I will write in details how I have learned many facets of the Lord from many sources, like TV, Books and discussions- # Satsangs: - I have listened to many Satsangs on radio on Shri Krishna for 2-3 years, which all helped me to feel the interest for Shr...

Features of the LORD : HIS Yellow Dress

Today I’m posting here after a long time . all these months I’ve been watching many serials , reading a lot about the LORD and also experiencing the BLISS of DIVINE LOVE . So , with a changed outlook , I was a bit confused to approach the blog . but decided to carry on with it in the way as originally (while starting the blog – Purnavataar ) I had planned to write about the features of the LORD . after discussing about all these different aspects , I’ll try to write about my personal experiences and realizations about the ALMIGHTY . Why do we always find the LORD in a particular (yellow) coloured dress ? Today I’ll try to discuss about HIS ‘pitambar’ (yellow coloured ) dress . The LORD is always described wearing fine yellow silken garments ‘ as brilliant as gold ‘ . or the 'blue LORD' wering a yellow dress seems like ‘ lightning in a dark sky ‘ . he seems ‘ more handsome than Kamdeva ‘ . here I have used expression from different religious texts on Krishna (l...

KRISHNA : THE BUTTER STEALER

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...

FEATURES OF THE LORD : THE FLUTE (Part 2 )

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...

FEATURES OF THE LORD : THE FLUTE ( Part 1 )

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...

FEATURES OF LORD KRISHNA : PEACOCK FEATHERS (Part 2 )

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...

FEATURES OF LORD KRISHNA : PEOCOCK FEATHER ( Part 1 )

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...
