alot of people has misconception about Krishna
some assume He is a prohphet
some wonders why He have so many wives
some wonders if He is God, why would He come to earth?
some say He is just a normal Human being why should we worship him?
Krishna is satisfied in all respects
Krishna does not need our service, but He kindly accepts it.
When Krishna asks us to surrender unto Him
"sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja" [Bhagavad Gita 18.66]
this does not mean that Krishna is lacking servants and that if we surrender He will profit
Krishna can create millions of servants by His mere desire
So that is not the point!
However, if we surrender to Krishna, we shall be saved.
As Krishna says :
"aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah"
I shall free you from all sinful reactions.
[Bhagavad gita 18.66]
We are suffering here in this material world without any shelter.
We even see many people loitering in the street, with no aim in life, confused and not knowing what to do.
But when we take shelter of Krishna, then we shall know
"Oh , now i have found shelter"
There will be no more confusion or hopelessness.
Therefore, the pupose of Krishna descending is not to collect some servants
Rather He descended (or send His messenger) for our benefit.
-Srila Prabhupada (edited)
we chant we chant we chant and we chant...and the feeling of love and attachement to the holy name doesnt come...why ?maybe...we need to consulte the Supreme Person we want to feel love for...
i remember the saying :
"until and unless you are able to joke with your Lord as a
friend, you haven't feel the love for Him yet"
He should be the one you talk to when you have problems..the first one you call out for help...the first one you share your good news with...the one who should be always in your mind no matter what you do...
only He deserve your full attention...
when you realize that He is not your illusion but your real friend
and that Him and His name is non different
and when you chant you are actually talking to Hm....the Person...
then you will feel that love...that attachement...for that beautful lotus feet of His :)
please read the aritcle on this link...it gives more detailed explanation on how to imporve chanting by loving Krishnas' holy name...it takes time butits worth it :)
There is nowhere where Krishna is not present. He's in the sky. He's in the trees. He's in the flowers. He's in the breeze. If you want to feel amazingly alive, always electrified by His divine presence, you must call out His names with pure love accepting Him as your only shelter. If you do so, you will enter into your eternal identity situated billions and trillions of light years beyond this ...universe and all the universes of this material existence. If you continue faithfully, patiently with this process of awakening your love of Krishna, your vision will gradually become more and more clarified reaching that magnificently splendorous point where you will be able to clearly see Krishna everywhere.
where he tells in the form of stories the lives of the great Vaishnava Acharyas such as Narottam Das Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan, etc
"The process is how to think of Krsna. Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. This is meditation. So this... By kirtana it becomes very easy. If you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra twenty-four hours like Haridasa Thakura... That is not possible. So as much as possible... Tirtha-yasasa. Kirtana, this is also kirtana. We aretalkingabout Krsna, reading about Krsna, reading Krsna's instruction in the Bhagavad-gita or reading Krsna's glories in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. They are all kirtana. It is not that simply when we sing with musical instruments, that is kirtana. No. Anything you talk about Krsna, that is kirtan."
~ from Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.18 on October 27, 1975 in Nairobi
Srila Prabhupada ~ " Simply our prayer should be, My dear Krishna, please remind me to always chant Your Holy Name, please do not put me into forgetfulness. You are sitting within me as Supersoul, so you can put me into forgetfulness or into remembering You. So please do not put me into forgetfulness. Please always remind me to chant, even You send me into the hell, it doesn't matter, just so long as I can always chant Hare Krishna..."
He displays many amorous pastimes in the groves of Vrindavana
He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja
the holder of the great hill named Govardhana
the beloved son of Mother Yashoda the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja
and He wanders in the forests
along the banks of the River Yamuna
Srila Prabhupada said that this song is "a picture of Vrindavana. Everything is there--Shrimati Radharani, Vrindavana, Govardhana, Yashoda, and all the cowherd boys."
Srila Prabhupada was very fond of this song and sang it just before his lectures. In Allahabad and Gorakhpur, Srila Prabhupada fell into a trance after singing the first two lines, and after some time he came back into external consciousness and said: "Now just chant Hare Krishna."
I don’t belong to anyone else but God. I don’t belong to my parents, i don’t belong to my school or university , i don’t belong to Indonesia, I don’t belong to and where or to anyone. i have no things belonging to me, my book doesn’t belong to me my money doesn’t belong to me. I has belonged to someone’s before me and therefore it doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to God and yet i dare to call it ‘my school’ ‘’my parents’ ‘my money’. I don’t belong to those who give me my culture, who determine how I should live, nor do I belong to those who give me food to eat, as they took it from someone else, they took everything from mother earth and earth comes from Brahman and Brahman comes from Krishna the Supreme Lord doesn’t come from anywhere. He is the one who is full of knowledge, blissful and exist eternally and forever. Our eternal well-wisher and our eternal friend, the only one who we can trust and the only one who really cares for us, the ‘real us’ , our eternal Soul. To whom everyone belongs and who belongs to everyone.
O Supreme Lord, I belong to you , you took care of me and give me all that I can see , smell , hear , touch and taste. And yet i don’t need these, you give me a portion of you inside, to whom I never look at, the one who can guide me towards You. It’s the only true treasure that is hidden in my heart, the one thing in life I am suppose to be searching for and activate in the first place. That portion that contains the entire thing I need to come to u. O Lord please help me to realise the truth of life is to serve you and to come back to You and nothing else. Please guide me and please give me the knowledge to understand your guidance and the strength to do whatever You tell me to do. Please activate my dormant Love for You, please help me to have unalloyed determination to serve Your lotus feet and faithfully serve You and Your devotees unconditionally. May I always remember your trancedental form as Lord Krishna whose bodily hue is like dark rain clouds , who is playing flute and who is always glances lovingly to His devotees.

Dhundhla jaayein jo manzilein
Ik pal ko tu nazar jhuka
Jhuk jaaye sar jahan wahin
Milta hai rab ka raasta
Teri kismat tu badal de
Rakh himmat bas chal de
Tere saathi mere kadmon ke hain nishaan
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
If the destinations get hazy, lower your sight for a moment, wherever your head bows down, there only the way to God is found, You Change your luck Be strong, just start moving, My footprints are your companion You don’t know God is nearby.. Khud pe daal tu nazar, Haalaton se haar kar
Kahaan chala re
Haath ki lakeer ko, Modta marodta,
Hai hausla re
Toh khud tere khwabon ke rang mein
Tu apne jahan ko bhi rang de
Ke chalta hoon main tere sang mein
Ho shaam bhi toh kya
Jab hoga andhera
Tab paayega dar mera
Uss dar pe phir hogi teri subah
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
See yourself, lost against circumstances,
Where do you go,
The lines of palm are turned and twisted
by the time,
So in the color of your dreams,
Color your world too,
I walk with you,
What even if it’s evening
When there is dark,
you’ll find my door,
On that door, it’ll be your morning,
You don’t know God is nearby..
Mitt jaate hain sabke nishaan
Bas ek woh mitt ta nahin haye
Maan le jo har mushkil ko marzi meri haye
Ho humsafar na tera jab koi
Tu ho jahan rahunga main wahi
Tujhse kabhi na ik pal bhi main judaa Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda,
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda..
Signs of all are erased
Only that one doesn’t get erased
Consider every problem my will
When there is no companion of yours
I’ll be there where you are
I’m never away from you for even a moment,
You don’t know God is nearby,
You don’t know God is nearby…
Sung by : Kailash Kher
Amongst all frustation and our busy daily life, do we remember our God and thanked Him everyday?
When we feel lonely , do you know that He is always with us?
We just need to pray and try to love Him and Serve Him with unalloyed determenation and faith, and We will feel His presence with us at all times :)

"The seven mothers are the cow, the earth, the queen, one's natural mother, one's nurse, the wife of a brahmana, and the wife of one's teacher or spiritual master. The five fathers are one's natural father, one's spiritual master, one's father-in-law, a man who gives one food, and a man who gives one protection."
Chanakya Pandita
"The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun."
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend
Then you wouldn't have to be afraid of Him leaving you
Because No matter how many lifebirths we have forgotten Him,
again and again He will come to make us fall in love with Him Again
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend
He will loves you no matter what
His love for you couldn't be compared to the any kind of love
Therefore with your full faith believe that He will never leave you
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend
You can be sure that He will not cheat on you
He have given you a parcel of Him that only you can have
and everyone else have their own
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend
He can give you anything and everything you want
Yet when you have Him you wont want anything else but to love Him even more
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend He wont see whether you are good or bad ,
cause His love is always unconditional
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend
He will let you have your free will although it means that you might leave Him
However He will always try to remind you of that love you have for Him
If Lord Krishna is your boyfriend
You'll be the happiest women of the entire universe
Dive the transcendental eternal love from the creator maintainer and destroyer of the whole universe and beyond
Drink the holy nectar of transcendental love from the expert of sweet words
Jay Shri Shri RadhaMadhava :)
