Shri Krishna

 



Krishna (Sanskrit: कृष्ण, IAST: Kṛṣṇa) is a major deity in Hinduism. He is worshipped as the eighth avatar of Vishnu and also as the supreme God in his own right. He is the god of protection, compassion, tenderness, and love; and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Indian divinities. Krishna's birthday is celebrated every year by Hindus on Krishna Janmashtami according to the lunisolar Hindu calendar, which falls in late August or early September of the Gregorian calendar.

The anecdotes and narratives of Krishna's life are generally titled as Krishna Leela. He is a central character in the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, the Brahma Vaivarta Purana and the Bhagavad Gita, and is mentioned in many Hindu philosophical, theological, and mythological texts. They portray him in various perspectives: a god-child, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero, and as the universal supreme being. His iconography reflects these legends, and shows him in different stages of his life, such as an infant eating butter, a young boy playing a flute, a young boy with Radha or surrounded by women devotees, or a friendly charioteer giving counsel to Arjuna.

As one's ego is melted and heart is surrendered through Bhakti, can the ultimate wisdom of life, of the universe and of Bhagwan/Brahm/Paramatma/Ishwar be given to them. Only a Bhakta, a true devotee can walk their spiritual journey and be meditative. Mature Bhaktas learn to dissolve their negative, bad Karma at the feet of the Deity, a Devi or a Devata and is not afraid to bear the results of his/her own Karma. Mature Bhaktas establish their relationship, a deep conscious connection with God/Divine and live life in surrender.  Mirabai, Sant Kabir, Sant Tukaram, Sant Haridas, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are some of the great Bhaktas of India who led their life in surrender and were absorbed in the divine nectar (Amrit) of Bhakti.  The word, BHAKTYAA, meaning through devotion, shows that bhakthi is the means for the realisation of the truth of God's nature.
