Krishna, the meaning of the word in Sanskrit is all-attractive, He is the of GodhSupreme Personality ead,
also called as God of gods. Inotherwords, Krishna is the Godhead
because He is all-attractive. From practical experience we can observe
that one is attractive due to (1) wealth, (2) power, (3) fame, (4)
beauty, (5) wisdom and (6) renunciation. One who is in possession of all six of these opulences
at the same time and who possesses them to an unlimited degree is
understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to
Parasara Muni a great Vedic authority.
Humanity has not come across another
personality like Lord Krishna with His unparalleled activities. By all
historical accounts, Lord Krishna appeared 5,000 years back and played
his part as a human being to perfection. Within the prison of His
maternal uncle Kamsa, where His father and mother were confined, Krishna
appeared outside His mother’s body as the four-handed Vishnu -
Narayana. Then He turned Himself into a baby and told His father to
carry Him to the house of Nanda Maharaja and his wife Yashoda in
Gokula. The Vedic literatures give further histories of his appearances
over millions and billions of years. In the Fourth Chapter of Bhagavad-gita,
Krishna states that He can remember instructing the lessons of the
Bhagavad-gita some millions of years ago to the sun-god, Vivasvan,
because he possesses unlimited knowledge, Krishna has a memory that is
boundless.
Bhagavad-gita, spoken by the Lord, has
been acknowledged the world over for its philosophical depth and divine
instructions. The world’s foremost western philosophers have paid rich
tributes for the priceless wisdom that it offers to mankind. A
discerning person will notice that the instruction contained in the
Bhagavad-gita is higher knowledge, not to be found in any other book of
knowledge.
Generally people think that by advancing the cause of moral principles and religious rites they will be happy. Others
may think that happiness can be achieved by economic development, and
yet others think that simply by sense gratification they will be happy.
The whole world is very eager to satisfy the dormant propensity of love
for others, however, if one simply reposes his dormant loving propensity
in Krishna, then his life becomes successful. This is not a fiction but
is a fact that can be realized by practical application. One can
directly perceive the effects that love for Krishna has on his life.
