| Lord Krishna was a dynamic incarnation of Vishnu. He was an Avatar,
in the sense that He was totally attuned to the Supreme consciousness
from His very birth. He has several other popular names such as
Madhava, Mukunda, Murari, Shyam and Gopala. His incarnation represents
the descent of the Infinite Brahman to the material world. The lord
is described as being blue in color and donning yellow clothes (peetambara)
with a bamboo flute (vansi) that brings out enchanting music to
mesmerize his devotees. His incarnation brought to bear upon the
Indian thought and life such a profound and powerful influence that
it has no parallel in India or elsewhere. There is no aspect of
life, of culture and of civilization which did not receive His revitalizing
touch- the Indian philosophy and religion, mysticism, poetry, painting,
music and dance were all influenced by the Krishna theme and thoughts.
Every aspect of Krishna and His deeds, is pregnant with deep mystical
symbolism indicating the highest Truth. The word KRISHNA indicates
the Supreme Consciousness which is said to be dark (Shyam), in the
sense that it is unseen by or unknown to one as long as one remains
rooted in earthly experiences limited to the realms of perceptions,
emotions and thoughts gained through the physical body and the intellect.
Krishna was the major character of Mahabharat ( The Indian Epic)
in which He preaches Karma Yoga to Arjuna through Bhagavad Gita
(The Sacred Book of Hindus).
Radha is the consort of Krishna who was the beloved mischievous
and enchanting boy of Brindavan. The most beautiful and beloved
amongst the gopikas (milk maids) was Radha. Her love and devotion
for Krishna was unmatched. The love of Radha and Krishna is symbolic
of the eternal love affair between the devoted mortal and the
Divine. Radha's yearning for union with her beloved Krishna is
the soul's longing for spiritual awakening and for union with
the One Source of peace and bliss. Radha symbolizes a unique state
of devotion that is bound to lead to a merger with the Lord.
