Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Jai Shree Krishna! Jai Swaminarayan!<br><br> Lord Krishna is leaving for Dwarika after the battle of Mahabharat. At that time, "rajmata" (mother of kingdom), Kuntaji could not bear the separation from Lord Krishna. Therefore, Kuntaji stood in front of Lord Krishna's way under one of the tree. When she saw that Lord Krishna is coming, she folds her hands and did the stuti (a hymn of praise, prayer).<br><br>Lord Krishna saw Kuntaji's namaskaar (vandan = a respectful bow = salutation) and said, "You are letting the Ganges flow the opposite way - meaning I am your nephew. I have to salute (page lagvaanu) you, instead you are saluting me, this is not fair."<br>Kuntaji said, "Prabhu! Do not say anything. I have come to know who you are. You are not my nephew."<br>Lord Krishna said, "Then who am I?"<br>Kuntaji said, "Purush - You are a Purush (a human being)."<br>Shree Krishna said, "With having these two hands-legs kind of a human? *Laughs* "<br>Kuntaji: "No, No. You are Aadipurush (the original creator of the universe)."<br>Shree Krishna: "Foiba! Aadipurush is the one who has four faces like Bhrama. Then am I a Bhrama?"<br>Kuntaji: "No, No. Bhrama is involved in nature, temperament meaning - "Bhrama prakruti ne aadhin chhe," and where you (Lord Krishna) are beyond prakruti. You are Purushottam. Now I have come to know you. You are not my nephew, but you are paramaatma (Supreme Being) that's why I am saluting you."<br>Shree Krishna: "Foiba! If you are saying that I am a bhagvaan then, why did Shishupaal cursed at me? Why did Putna gave me poison?" *smiled!*<br>Kuntaji: "It is not their fault. They all have not come to know you yet that's why they do such things. Prabhu! When you arrive to this earth, even devataas (divine being) could not recognize you, then how Shishupaal would recognize who you are. You are omnipresent in every thing - inside and outside. Even then one can not experienced because there is a reason…"<br> Prabhu! Everybody don't see you because there is Maya (illusion). There is sun in the sky but when clouds covers the sun, we don't see sun. Just like that, you are everywhere but the cover of Maya surrounded us, you are not being experienced to us. I am saluting different forms of yours. I am saluting your Krishna Swarup.<br> She is chanting one of the sloka, which she does vandan to Shree Krishna swarup, Vasudeva, Devaki, Nanadbava/Yashodaji and cows of Vraj.<br> <br>Continuation on next message ...
