..... " Sri Krishna is not merely a historical man who came and went,

like others, but the Eternal Purusha who dwells even now and shall

live in the everlasting future, in the core of all manifestation. It

is the Symbol of the Absolute descended into relativity that we call

Krishna, the ever-beloved protector of all that breathe and air. " ....

 

.... " Sri Krishna came to reorganise and reconstruct the society of

beings on the basis of Dharma. Dharma is the manner by which one

directly or indirectly abides and lives in conscience with the Law

of the Universal Whole. " .....

 

..... " Mankind forgot the Law, groped in darkness, committed blunders

and managed to disturb the equilibrium and harmony of the Universe.

There was a reaction from the Whole, to bring back the universe to

its essential and natural equilibrium, and the result is Sri

Krishna. So Sri Krishna is called an Avatara, a descent of God in

the world, of the Whole in the parts, of the Absolute in the

relative. " .......
