Lord Krishna - Spiritual Master of Universe


ओम् कृष्णाय वासुदेवाय हरये परमात्मने l

प्रणत क्लेश नाशाय गोविन्दाय नमो नमः ll 



Krishna is the immanent Divine, the Divine Presence in everyone and in all things. He is also, sovereignly, the aspect of Delight and Love of the Supreme; he is the smiling tenderness and the playful gaiety; he is at once the player, the play and all his playmates. 

       -The Mother

In Sanatana Dharma



Lord Krishna is perhaps the most written about Hindu god. Not only are his stories fascinating and inspiring, They are also at times relevant to human lives.


Lord Krishna was born in jail, death waited 4 him,separated from his mother on same nite, no education till 16, sent 2 graze cows, married those he rescued from demons-still his life was full of smiles,music &dance. Life was so unfair but he worked 4 victory of truth&dharm



वसुदेवसुतं देवं कंसचाणूरमर्दनम्

देवकीपरमानन्दं कृष्णं वंदे जगद्गुरुम् ||


आतसीपुष्पसंकाशम् हारनूपुरशोभितम्

रत्नकण्कणकेयूरं कृष्णं वंदे जगद्गुरुम् || 



In the earlier avatar, Lord Rama killed Bali, and he assured Tara (Bali’s widow) that Bali would be able to take revenge in his next birth. Bali was reborn as Jara, and he ended the life of Krishna on earth with a simple arrow. This was the curse of Gandhari. 


Lord Krishna was the husband of 16,108 queens, eight were the princely wives, known as patrani or Ashtabharya. 

Their names were: Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, Nagnajiti, Kalindi, Mitravinda, Bhadra, and Lakshmana. 


The other 16,100 wives were the ones who had been saved and freed from Narakasura, a fierceful Asura.



Lord Krishna had 80 sons who were born from eight queens, with each queen giving birth to 10 sons. 



The most famous of them were: Pradyumna, who as the son of Rukmini; Samba, the son of Jambavati who had been cursed by sages and became the reason that Yadu clan got destroyed. 

Lord Shri Krishna had done the penance to Lord Shiva to obtain the son like him. In Patanjali 's yog sutra when the sage talks about the gateway to divinity he describes the third eye or ajna chakra. the ajna chakra has a palpating golden outer hue which opens into another deeper level of conciousness of indigo vibration, The Krishna conciousness leads to the final white star gateway to samadhi or Fifth dimension or Shiv
Om tat sat are the shiv, krishna and the golden gateway of Fourth dimension Krishna is outer manifestation of shivShiv is inner truth of Krishna.


Subhadra, Krishna’s sister, was the daughter of Vasudeva and Rohini and had been born when Vasudeva was freed from prison. Balarama wanted his sister, Subhadra to get married to Duryodhana, who had been his favorite disciple.However, he was opposed by his sister, and also other members of the family. Krishna thus advised Arjuna to abduct Subhadra, and also asked Subhadra to hold the rains of Chariot, such that it was not an abduction, technically. However, she did get married at Indraprastha. 


Nowhere in the scriptures has Radha ever been mentioned. It’s not mentioned either in the Mahabharata or the Srimad Bhagavatam. It’s a fact that every great reader of Vyasa miss. The fact was probably included by Jayadev and then became famous from there. 

Ekalavya was the son of Devasrava, the brother of Vasudeva. So, technically, he is Krishna’s cousin. One day, he got lost in the forest, and later found by Nishada Hiranyadhanu. He died protecting his father while Rukmini was on her Swayamvar. 


And Krishna was the one who killed him. However, he gave him the boon that he would soon be reincarnated and take revenge on Drona. 

Krishna’s character can be perplexing. At one time, he started to fight with Arjuna, and Lord Shiva had to descend to stop the fight. When asked about the reason, he said that Arjuna needed to fight in the battle and that he was testing Arjuna if he could or not. 


When Krishna narrated the Bhagavad Gita, it was not just Arjuna who heard it; Hanuman and Sanjaya also heard the story. Throughout the battle of Kurukshetra, Hanuman was on the top of Arjuna’s chariot, and Ved Vyasa blessed Sanjaya with divine vision. 
Shri Krishna’s son, Pradyuma, was the incarnation of Kamadev, who had been turned into ashes by Lord Shiva in a previous life. In another life, Sambarasura abducted him and drowned him in the ocean. But he survived and later appeared at the kitchen of the lord.


Mayawati ( Rati)  took care of him . She narrated how Sambarasura had also attempted to kill him when he was 10 days old.Hearing this, Pradyumna went to Sambarasura and fought him. He used strong language so as to agitate his temper. In the end, Pradyumna killed Sambarasura. 

Jarasandha summoned the demon Kaalyavan to fight Shri Krishna. Krishna realized that it would take some time to beat him, and thus used the boon on Muchkund to neutralize the demon. Muchkund had a boon that whoever he sees first after waking up would be turned into ashes.


and he had been sleeping in a cave for a long time. Shri Krishna went to the cave and hid behind a rock when Kaalyavan arrived and woke up Muchkund. As soon as his eyes opened and saw Kaalyavan, he was turned into ashes.


When Durvasa was eating kheer in presence of Shri Krishna, he ordered him to apply the left-over kheer on his body. Krishna agreed to apply it to his body, but he didn’t apply it on his feet, thinking that the kheer loses its holiness.


But Durvasa got pissed and cursed him that since he didn’t obey his orders, his legs would lose its quality of being impenetrable and unbroken. Somehow this curse became the end of Krishna when a hunter hurt his toe with an arrow, and he left the world. 

वासनाद वासुदेवस्य वासितं भुवनत्रयं!

सर्व भूत निवासोसि वासुदेव नमोस्तु ते !!🕉🙏🏼
