Krishna! It is not just a name, but an entire universe, in which the infinite streams of love, knowledge, disinterest, and duty flow. Krishna’s personality is so vast and multi -faceted that it is impossible to cover it in any one definition. On this auspicious festival of Janmashtami, let’s try to understand the various forms of Krishna that keep them relevant and undefined in every era.ALSO READ: Krishna is the ultimate bliss
Confluence of love and knowledge: When we think about Krishna, first the idea of love comes to mind. They are the culmination of love with the gopis and Radha. His love is not just a physical attraction, but a symbol of the union of the soul and the divine. The entire Brajmandal was lost to the tune of his flute. This is the gagar of love, which is never empty, but in every era, satisfies devotees.
On the other hand, Krishna is also a churning of knowledge and consciousness. The preaching of the Gita given to Arjuna in the battle of Kurukshetra is the greatest proof of this. It was not just a preaching to inspire a soldier to war, but the essence of deep truths, karmayoga, knowledge and devotion of life. Krishna taught humans that not to run away from the struggles of life, but to perform his duties is the greatest religion. In this way, they reflect the balance of love and knowledge.
Gwala and Yogeshwar: Amazing contradiction- In the character of Krishna, we get to see amazing contradiction. They are cows of cows on one side, who captivate everyone with their hair, on the other hand they are uninterested Yogeshwar, which is beyond worldly fascination. His Makhan stealing, playing with the gopis, and spending time with the Gwalas reflects their spontaneity and simplicity. He lived a life like an ordinary person even while living in a royal chic.
However, when this Gwala becomes the charioteer of Arjun in the battlefield, he comes as a disinterested yogi, who has no fascination for the results of the war. They teach that we should be disgusted with results while performing our duties. This contradiction tells us that the person should mold according to his role, but should not lose his inner nature.
Contradiction from birth itself: Krishna’s life has been full of contradictions since birth. He was born in the prison of Mathura as the eighth sons of Devaki and Vasudev, where there was an atmosphere of fear and injustice. But his childhood was spent in Gokul’s open atmosphere in love and dearness of Yashoda. This is an important lesson of life that no matter how adverse the circumstances are, we should not lose our positivity and bliss. He was Nandan for Devaki, while red for Yashoda. This shows the depth of the relationship that love is beyond the relationship of name and blood.
Many forms of love: There are many forms of Krishna’s love, which make his personality even more undefined. He is the beloved of Radha, with whom his relationship is spiritual and spiritual. This love is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words. Radha-Krishna’s name is taken together, because his love is immortal.
At the same time, he is Rukmini’s husband and king of Dwarka. Rukmini abandoned all her dignities to get her.
For Rukmini, he is his Srimatam, that is, the basis of his life. He is also dear to Satyabhama, whom he never allowed to lack anything. In this way, Krishna’s love changes its role in every relationship, but his sanctity and depth never decrease. They live in perfection in every relationship.
Confluence of nature and self -realization: Krishna has an unwavering relationship with nature. They play in the forest with cows, play the flute on the banks of the Yamuna, and live in every particle of nature. His life is a symbol of harmony with nature. At the same time, they are also thinking of self -immolation. In the Gita, he preached to become immortal of the soul and stated that the body is mortal, but the soul is immortal. They themselves are God, who live in the heart of every living being. They are stable mind yogis, who remain calm and uninterrupted in every situation. This form of his inspires us to remain calm even in the ups and downs of life.
Anant and undefined: Krishna is Gwale, King, Lover, Warrior and philosopher at the same time. They are human and divine at the same time. This is why they cannot be tied in any one definition. Every person sees them from their point of view and finds a new look. This holy festival of Janmashtami teaches us that we should take inspiration from various aspects of Krishna’s life. His love, knowledge, duty and courage should be adopted in their life.
Krishna … really, it is impossible to cover them into words. They are infinite, undefined, and this is their greatest glory.
