In the vast tapestry of myth and consciousness, the figure of Lord Krishna resonates with a melodious aura that entwines the mortal with the divine. Known as the ‘Dark One’ or ‘Blue One’, his very essence is a cosmic dance that orchestrates the rhythm of existence. Krishna, the maverick artist proficient in 64 art forms, the sublime musician whose flute serenades the core of existence, and the charismatic dancer whose steps delineate the narrative of dharma, is not merely a deity but a symphony that continues to resonate through time and space.
His playful pranks in Vrindavan, and his profound philosophies in Kurukshetra, delineate the myriad hues of life. Every episode of his life is a motif in the grand tapestry of cosmic Leela (divine play) that portrays the human experience as a voyage from ignorance to enlightenment, from fear to love.
“Prakritim swam avastabhya visrijami punah punah,” he declared, revealing the eternal cycle of creation, a spiral where the end curves back to the beginning, an endless dance of cosmic energy. Through this revelation, Krishna bestowed upon humanity a lens to glimpse the boundless continuum of existence.
His humble visit to Vidura’s abode over Duryodhana’s palace underscores the timeless virtue of authenticity, humility, and moral integrity. His discourse with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, epitomized in the Bhagavad Gita, is a stellar guiding light that navigates one through the stormy seas of moral dilemma, duties, and existential crisis.
The relationship between Krishna and his elder brother Balarama, an incarnation of Ananta Shesha – the serpent of eternity, symbolizes a cosmic harmony that transcends the ephemeral plane of earthly existence. This duo embodies the confluence of cosmic wisdom and earthly playfulness.
Krishna’s portrayal as a majestic king, a sublime philosopher, and a Maha Yogi epitomizes a holistic vision of life. His teachings resonate with the grand narrative of a universe where every being, and every element is a manifestation of the divine, enacting a role in the divine play. His life is an allegory of balance – thus inviting us to live amidst the chaos with a heart full of love, eyes filled with wisdom, and hands ready for duty.
He elucidates the notion that while human understanding is often limited to a linear conception of time and causality, cosmic consciousness operates on a realm far beyond human grasp. The humility to recognize this limitation, to bow down to the higher laws of nature, and to partake in the cosmic Leela with love, righteousness, and a zest for life is the core of Krishna’s consciousness.
Krishna’s lore is an ode to the boundless potential inherent in the symphony of existence. His life is a poetic expression, a call to embrace the beauty, the duties, the love, and the essence of being in the divine play, to cherish each moment as a note in this celestial melody.
Above all to play this game of life with utmost sincerity, blending Self-Attention in life and later even guiding others toward a harmonious, joyful, and enlightened existence.
