THE GREAT CALM



The extraordinary thing about Vrindavana , the topmost planet in the spiritual universe , is that everyone there is madly in love with Krishna. Here are a couple of many such beautiful descriptions of Divine Love .

"O friend ,the birds of Vrindavana are actually sages. They have taken positions on the branches of trees that have new and fresh leaves from where they can easily have darshana (audience ) of Sri Krishna. Sitting there and hearing the sweet vibratrions of His flute , they close their eyes and become immersed in divine bliss. " Shrimad-Bhagavatam 10.21.14

" May we always be protected by Nanda Maharaj s younger brother , Sannanda ,whose complexion is golden and whose beard is black; who is tender,generous and affectionate; who is deeply devoted to his older brother s feet; who is the father of Sunanda-gopi; who is the master of a great herd of buffalo; and who worships his nephew Madhava (Krishna) with every breath and pleases Him by giving Him palatable dishes made with buffalo yoghurt. " Shrila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. Sri - Vraj -Vilasa-Stava

Interesting that although Krishna is the Supreme Lord and possesses all attractive qualities like wealth , strength, beauty , knowledge , fame and renunciation unlimitedly ,and therefore could be very proud , nevertheless He is humble. For example He personally washes the feet of guests. Its also interesting that although He is the Supreme Controller , nevertheless He Himself is controlled by the love of His devotees , especially the love of His most beloved Shrimati Radharani , who is situated at the topmost level of ecstatic love and who therefore always keeps Krishna under Her control.

All this time searching for the great calm ,
deep peace -
now I know its at Your Lotus Feet

Hare Krishna

IMAGINE A WORLD
Imagine a world without locks and keys
imagine a world with desire trees

Imagine a world without anger and hate
imagine a world with an ecstacy rate

Imagine a world where people dont hoot
because all you can hear is Krishna s flute

Imagine a world made of jewels not clay
where people love saying Radhe Radhe

Imagine a world with water so pure
that its conscious and loving and will always endure

Imagine a world without poisoned oceans
where everyones busy with their devotions

Imagine a world where theres no shortage of love.

I am happy to know such a world does exist
this is no tale with a terrible twist

Sri Guru is leading us there
blissful life in Vrindavana for us all to share
