Sweet Dilemma of Loving You

I have often wondered what my relationship with Krishna is.. which form of His do i love the most ? Krishnas devotees love him in various ways...some consider him as their son, some as their lover, friend, husband or as the Supreme God .

Dear Krishna,

I am so in love with all of your forms.


I wish that the darling son of Yashoda, were my little brother . I would hold you in my arms, listen to your nonsensical baby talk, chase you for stealing butter like Yashoda, tease you like the Gopis and tell on you, darling butter thief .. Kanna, your sweet innocent smile would make me forget all my duties..

It would be so much fun to play all those old pretending games i used to make up, with you..

I wish you were my best friend, Krishna.Together we would roam the forests of Vrindavan, climb the Govardhan hill and play all sorts of wild games. Consider me as one of your dear friends, Krishna..We would talk of everything under the sky . It would be heavenly to spend every day in your sweet company!


I wish I was your gopi, dear Krishna..this feeling of separation from you would only be a brief interlude, till we meet at banks of the Yamuna again. As you play your enchanting flute, I would stare into those loving eyes of yours forever..Madhava..


I wish I could serve you as my husband, too.. Krishna, though you had 16008 wives, not one of them felt ignored by you or that you loved them any else. Not gonna elaborate on the joys of serving you as your wife, 
:) 

I wish I could be your sister..like Subhadra or Draupadi . There is something so uniquely sweet and tender in the relationship between you and Draupadi..She would come running to you when in difficulties..confident that her Dwarakanath  , her brother and friend, would protect her always..


I wish to be embraced by you , as you did upon meeting your old friend Sudama after several years..To be addressed as  my dearest friend ” like when you speak to Arjuna..Knowing that my Krishna has got my back, whenever I feel scared or confused..to hear the words you spoke in the Gita from your own lips..


Krishna , you stole the hearts of the Vrajawasis in his childhood and youth. You became the Lord of Dwaraka..a king loved greatly by his people . You played your roles as a devoted husband , father and guide..


Though you came on Earth thousands of years ago, the fact that there are  millions of people who still love you so much is just so amazing..My Krishna lived a full life . He was the sweetest baby ever, the naughtiest little child , a passionate lover , the most caring husband, loyal friend, the greatest teacher and He is God.. 


Okay, now i really need to stop ranting about you . If this is the condition of someone who has only heard
 about you, never ever set eyes upon you...what to speak of those who have..I can only imagine..

Yours forever,
Lost Gopi

  1. I don't even have the words to praise such a beautiful post.... it was wonderful. I felt like I was reading my very own thoughts... wow. It's like we all just want Krishna to be with us, no matter what form he's in. He's like everything to us.. from brother to parent to lover to friend to child to dearest Lord to our sweet, little Krishna... We all just know how we want our very own Krishna to be, and even though we don't know what to call such relationship, it's a very beautiful one, indeed. Very beautiful. I just loooooveee Krishna! :) :) :)

  2. Jai Shri Radha Krishna..Thank you :)

    You know something else that's really beautiful ? Whenever we , crazy lovers that we are :D, talk or write about Krishna...each of us feels like we are reading our own thoughts !! I have felt this all the time , while going through Drainpiper's posts in the past..and there was another blog 'All About Krishna' . Reading the posts on there, I used to be like..' Wow, these girls are soo like me ! They love Krishna soo much ' ..and I felt like I knew them so well .. even though all that I knew about them was the Krishna connection :)

    And now I am happy to meet yet another devotee who feels the same way :)

    Your blog is great by the way ! Keep posting..

    1. No problem.

      Yes, indeed, that is very beautiful.... and so, so true. I always feel like I am reading my own thoughts.... I am seeing my own reflection..... and it is so nice to know that we all are united through a common source of eternal bliss and ecstatic love... our beloved, or Krishna Kanhaiya.

      Yes I know I am so glad about that too!!

      Aw, thanks :) Yes I will keep posting, though I've gotten rather busy lately.. :(
