HARE KRISHNA 
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA
Tumblr media
Prabhupāda: Kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobhaṁ govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi (Bs. 5.30). It is a question of attraction. It is not a question of black and white. Attraction. So unless Kṛṣṇa is beautiful, why He has got so many millions of devotees? This very word is kandarpa-koṭi. Barhāvataṁsam asitāmbuda-sundarāṅgam. His blackness is compared with the black cloud.

One who is therefore attracted by the beauty of the Lord is no longer attracted by the beauty of material nature, although he does not minimize its beauty. In Bhagavad-gītā (2.59) it is described that one who is attracted by param, the Supreme, is no longer attracted by anything inferior. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.8.24)

The city of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh is called an abode of Gods themselves. Beautiful temples adorn the city in a blissful trance and who knew that the little Lord Krishna also went there as a shishya (student) in Sage Sandipani's ashram. Ujjain was then known as Avantabad.
Lord Krishna along with his elder brother Balrama and his friend Sudama finished their studies at Lord Sandipani's ashram. They asked their Guru to bless them and ask for Guru Dakshina.
Their guru knew that Lord Krishna was Lord Vishnu's avatar. He knew that Lord Krishna was the only one who could find his son who got lost a long time ago. He therefore asked him-
"Dear child, I bless you with long and successful life. Since you have asked me for Gurudakshina, all need from you is to find and bring back my son.
"Shri Krishna went about searching his guru's son. He figured out that his son was abducted by the demon Shankhaur who lived in a conch shell in the ocean.
Tumblr media
Shri Krishna took the shell to Yamraj and asked him to release his guru's son from the clutches of the demon. He then returned the son to his guru and kept the shell with himself. The shell came to be known as Panchjanya which Shri Krishna used in Mahabharata to declare the beginning of the war.

Bad karma goes to the haters.
Once there was a king who decided to distribute a bowl of kitchari to every citizen in his country. he announced the day, and soon everyone gathered and the king served the food from a huge pot. after a while, a bird that had just caught a poisonous snake and was carrying it in its beak flew over the palace. unfortunately, a drop of poison fell from the snake’s teeth into the bowl the king was filling. he didn’t see the poison and gave the kitchari to the next citizen. This person ate it and died immediately.
uhhgg! This was a death – perhaps murder? – and in the king’s palace! Yamaräja, the god of justice, came to the spot with his secretary Citragupta. Citragupta asked, “Who will get the negative karma for this violent act? The king, because he distributed the kitchari?”
“No,” Yamaräja said, “He will not get the negative karma – he wasn’t aware that he distributed poison.”
“I need to know for the records,” said Citragupta, “then who will get the karma? Maybe the bird?”
“No, he also didn’t know that he was flying over the food distribution area and that there was poison left in the snake.”
“I need to know where the karma goes,” said Citragupta, “maybe to the snake?”
“No, the snake was already dead!”
At this moment they noticed a bitter old lady who pointed her finger and lashed out at the king: “You rascal! You demon! You killed a human being!” yamaräja looked at Citragupta and said, “Now we know where the karma goes.”
It is a fact, karma or all bad effects that come from human interactions, always go to those who are judgmental and critical. This subject is discussed at length in the Mahabharata – the critic gets the karma, because his or her intention is to hurt.

The relation between Krishna and Cows has always been put into an inseparable divine entity. His early life starts form in the divine world of Gokula, where Lord Krishna is a cowherd boy in the agricultural community where He loves and keeps huge numbers of cows and calves.
In the praise and salutation to Gita it is said: The Upanishads are cows, Lord Gopalanandana is the cow milkers, Partha-Arjuna is the calf, the wise scholars are the drinkers of that milk and Gita is that milk, the nectar of life.
Nanda Maharaja, the foster father of Krishna had 900,000 cows. Scriptures say, Krishna knew every cow by name. If any cow was missing Krishna would immediately chase after the missing cow and call her by name. He used to spend His childhood tending cows and calves while playing in the pasturing grounds with His friends. His example shows the importance of cows to human society, the practical benefits of caring for them,and the advantages of an agrarian economy based on cooperation between man and cows. In other words, the life of Lord Krishna was blessed by the spiritual union of Gau and Gopala.
Krishna established the best socio- economic system, for the spiritual and material progress of all living beings as per their ability (guna) and aspiration (karma). Protected cows are a major component of this system; bulls and oxen plough the fields, and cows give milk. Here, Cows are considered one of the mothers of humankind because cow’s milk, a perfectly suited food to maintaining human life and the best milk after the mother’s breast milk.
Tumblr media
If we really want to love Lord Krishna, we must love cow from the core of our hearts. Denigrating a cow is a bare humiliation of my Lord and killing a single cow in is a serious sin, my brothers and sisters.

Srimad Bhâgavatam says –
‘bhushana-bhushana-angam’
Meaning – ‘Sri Krishna’s beauty itself is an ornament for His body.’
Ornaments are called so because they adorn and beautify someone’s body. Nevertheless, Sri Krishna’s body is an ornament for the ornaments He wears. This is to say, that, each part of His body is so gorgeous that it decorates the jewellery He wears on it, in stead of the jewellery increasing the beauty of that organ.
Tumblr media
“O Pretty maiden! We brought a pile of gem-studded ornaments for beautiful Sri Krishna. However, they were not able to enhance His beauty even the slightest bit. Instead we discovered that the ornaments were beautified to a large extent when they came in contact with His body.”

Shree Krishna declares that he is not far from the soul—in fact he is closer than the closest. The ātmā or eternal soul is enthroned in the etheric heart of all living beings. The Vedas state: ya ātmani tiṣhṭhati [v21] “God is seated within our soul.” Seated inside, he grants the power of consciousness and eternality to the soul. If he were to subtract his power, our soul itself would become insentient and perish. We souls are thus eternal and sentient, not by our own power, but because the supremely sentient and eternal God is seated within, and is granting his powers to us. Hence, Shree Krishna declares that he is situated in the heart of all living beings. BG : 10:20

"What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows." ...BHAGAVAT GITA

Hare Krishna,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Srila Prabhupada, Purport SB 3.2.23The Lord accepts the least qualification of the living entity and awards him the highest reward. That is the standard of His character. Therefore, who but the Lord can be the ultimate shelter?
Krishna not only reciprocates with inexhaustible affection the love of His pure devotees, but He also does not fail to notice and reward magnanimously the good in those who are inimical to Him. And this is what makes Him worthy of being the ultimate shelter for everyone: the devotees, the demons, and everyone in between!
So those of us who may be in the middle, trying to purify our intentions, while aspiring for pure devotion, have only encouragement to discover in Krishna’s spotless character and pastimes.
