vanamali Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 "# Why Krishna Steals Butter - dont we think it is a bad practice to his followers." ---- Butter signifies love. Krishna steals butter, because that means actually He steals our hearts. It might be frustrating for us sometimes, to feel ourselves falling in love with God, giving up our control of ourselves to God. (Falling in love is scary sometimes, because it involves trust) That is why Krishna steals butter. He doesn't ask you to fall in love with Him. He just MAKES you love Him, just like that!!!! You can't help but love Him. ---- Why is Krishna surrounded my many gopi's - When he took a Avatar as Ram he married Sita and led his followers by commiting the entire life having 1 Wife / Husband , why in this avatar - he leads this in a different way. -Rama avatar Lord was setting an example for society to follow. There is a saying "Do what Krishna said and what Rama did." Krishna is surrounded by many gopis, because gopis are #1. expansions of the Devi, #2. atman longing for paramatman. Krishnavatara is to fulfill the sacred longings of the devotees who love Him so much. That is why He has many wives and many girlfriends. It is a purely divine, sacred relationship. Krishna will never say "no" to a devotee who comes to Him, so He accepts all women who love Him, because it is actually a atman-paramatman interaction. ----------- # How is Radha rani attracted to Krishna since childhood - is it because of Spirutual - etc..... --- Radharani is one with Krishna. She is His shakti. Just like Seeta with Rama, Radha is attracted to Krishna because She is Her eternal Lord and Her praana naatha... even though when she's a child she doesn't *know* all these things, it is simply ingrained in Her heart. The same goes with us. Since it is our destiny to love Him, we will never be separated from Him. I'm sure a lot of people can testify that even if somehow you are born in a foreign country other than India, Krishna will find you there and make you love Him again! If only once you surrender to Krishna, He will always be with you... Jaya Sri Radhe! Jaya Sri Krishna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
