Krsna never leaves Vrndabana

[Guest guest]

A more confidential point is that in Mathura, Krsna's Vasudeva

expansion was present who up to the time of Akrura being sent by Kamsa to

bring Krsna to Mathura had been present in the body of Krsna for the purpose

of killing the demons, accepting prayers from demigods and other pastimes

that were tinged by the mood of awe and reverence. Krsna Himself is always

enjoying intimate loving pastimes in Vraja, thus He never steps out of Vraja

- Vrndavana or has anything to do with what goes on beyond the borders of

Vraja Dhama or Vraja pastimes. For the purpose of satisfying the devotees

who wish to reciprocate with Him in different moods which cannot be

accommodated in Vraja, He has expanded Himself in unlimited forms.

 

Thus we find in this "Uddhava Sandesh", Vasudeva requesting Uddhava

to go to Vrndavana to pacify the friends and relations of Krsna by reminding

them of their pastimes with Krsna. Also Vasudeva-Krsna is lamenting His

being separated from the body of Krsna and thus no longer being able to

witness the intimate simple relationship between the Vrajabasis and Krsna.

Having heard from the swan messenger sent by Lalita-sakhi about the intense

suffering of the Vrajabasis due to their separation from Krsna (the message

which was given to the swan is recorded in Rupa Gosvami's wonderful book

"Hansaduta"). His own mood of separation had increased, thus He wished to

reach out to the Vrajavasis through this message. He is sending Uddhava,

His intimate devotee, friend and advisor, so that he may witness the pure

unmotivated love of the Vrajavasis, especially the love of the Vraja gopis.

 

IF THE QUESTION IS ASKED WHERE WAS THE ORIGINAL KRSNA IF HE HAD NOT LEFT

VRNDAVANA, THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT HE WAS HIDING IN THE BUSHES WATCHING THE

FUN.
