Krishna was born on Janmashtami.

Janmashtami is around the corner, so I thought that it would be a good idea to get re-acquainted with Sri Krishna.

Shri Krishna is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu or Narayana.

Meaning of Krishna:- Krishna means the one who attracts, 'akarshit ati te Krishna'.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...But one must need to love Him first. Understanding follows...

Krishna is the 'The Dark One'Krishna's colour is dark blue.

The color blue is associated with the ' infinite' like the blue sky.

Krishna's favorite color of 'dress' is yellow.

Yellow is the color of the Earth. I have read that this is because, the earth when introduced into

a colorless flame emits a yellow hue.

The Blue colour of the sky and the yellow colour of the Earth could indicate that the Pure and Infinite Consciousness of Krishna has descended on earth to play a human role.

 

Men love to say with a naughty twinkle in thier eyes " Why can't we have as many girlfriends as Shri Krishna had gopis, and get away with it like he did?

I say; If you can pick up the Govardhan mountain with your little finger, if you can change the poison that was offered to Meera and turn it to nectar, If you can dance on a thousand fanged cobra and above all, if you are you are a young lad of 9,you may dance with as many gopis as you please.

 

 

When Shri krishna left Vrindavan.He stated that no matter where he resides physically, his spirit of the atmaan would always remain in the land where Radha stayed. He promised Radha that she would forever dwell in his heart.

Krishna pledged with Radha that her name would always preced his name.

Hence one always say's" RadheKrishna" never "KrishnaRadha".If the name of radhs is chanted repeatedly, it turns into "Dhara". Dhara means a stream.Radha is the stream of love that emanates from Krishna and returns to him,emanates and returs, becomes "Dhara"
and turns to "Radha", from "Radha" to "Dhara" and so on until eternity.
