Lord Krishna deity in ISKCON temple
Similar to Prahalada and Dhruva, we have to tirelessly keep thinking about the god. Though during the initial stage of our worship it would be boring to frequently think about the god, but in course of time, it would tastes better, than that of any other thing in the world. Engaging in the deep thoughts on Lord Krishna would give great will-power, courage and spiritual support, and we would get a fresh life.
Instead of thinking about perishable mortals, thinking about the imperishable Krishna, would add sweetness in our lives, and we would feel young and energetic in our life. The main reason of thinking about Krishna is that, we could forget our worries in our life, and also we could avoid fights and quarrels with our family members. God cannot be avoided in our life, though sometimes, we might feel bad about him. God is like our breath, and he cannot be separated from us. The great Krishna devotee, Nityananda, also called as Nitai, roars like a lion and tells, “Those who dislike Lord Krishna are not supposed to live in this world. Those who are not interested to sing the glories of Lord Krishna are to be considered as Dumb, those who are disinterested to watch the divine beauty of Krishna, must be treated as blind, those who doesn’t want to visit the temples of Lord Krishna are to be considered as lame, those who are not interested to watch the songs of Krishna are to be considered as Deaf”.
Lord Krishna cannot be ignored in our life, since he is the true Brahman.Lord Krishna’s thoughts alone would purify our soul, cleanse our body, and invokes lot of divine energy. The great 15th century poet and Krishna devotee, Sri Surdas, though he was born as blind, had seen the divine vision of Lord Krishna for several times, due to his grace. He was able to attain this, due to his selfless devotion on Lord Krishna. The great Maratha King, Sri Chatrapati Shivaji had become a great Krishna Devotee, after he met Tukaram, who was a staunch devotee of Lord Krishna. Once the great Shivaji, roared like a tiger, and tells, “Those who avoid Lord Krishna in their lives due to their ignorance would only go to the hell after their death. Let me put some dirt on the mouth of those, who dislike, to recite the Krishna Mantra, “JAI SRI KRISHNA”.
Hence let us keep strong faith and pure bhakti on Lord Krishna, and let us be blessed.
