Ba:la Leelas of Lord Krishna #14

[Guest guest]

Sri Krishna Parabrahmane: namaha

Srimathe: Ramanujaya namaha

 

The words of Bhagavan are Sruthi:s and Smruthi:s. We should follow them with

belief and devotion. Lord told Vasudeva to take Him and walk ahead. He never

thought, “How can I go forward when there are so many obstacles in my way?”. The

Lord told him to do so and he did. All the hindrances vanished on their own.

 

It was raining heavily. The sky of our hearts is cast with the clouds of

illogical thinking and packed with the darkness of ajna:na. The rain of

‘a:dhya:thmika’, ‘a:di bhouthika’ and ‘a:di daivika’ griefs keep pouring down on

us. Those miseries cannot be stopped with our efforts. When Vasudeva took Lord

Krishna on his head and walked ahead, the ‘She:sha’ prevented the rain from

falling on Krishna with his hoods. Vasudeva too escaped the rain. If we keep the

Lord in our hearts and lead our lives, Se:sha protects us from the rain of

miseries.

 

Why are we gripped by the grief?

It is because of our thinking: This is ‘I’ ; ‘for my sake’; ‘ I am doing my

work’! It’s not true. We should do with the feeling: This is ‘He’ ; ‘for His

sake’; ‘He is getting His work done`. This ‘bha:vana’ is called ‘Se:shathvam’

When one has this Se:shathvam, the sorrows won’t touch him.

 

Yamuna is flowing beside Madhura. Yamuna is sister to Yama. They both are

Surya’s children. Both are black. Yama controls time. Yamuna is the flow of

time. Time keeps on passing. A river keeps on flowing. Madhura is on this side

of the Yamuna. Vrajam is on the other banks of Yamuna. Madhura is being ruled by

Kamsa. ‘Vraja’ is ruled by Nanda. We know that Kamsa denotes ‘desire’ (ka:mam).

It rules over the kingdom of ‘samsa:ra mandalam’. Nanda rules over ‘Vraja’. He

is the ‘guru’. He is always in a state of a:nanda and he is the giver of

a:nanda. That is only ‘mumukshu mandalam’. Lord Krishna has to arrive there.
