Developing our dedication, service and love for Krishna
Pastimes
This part of the blog describes about the activities and pastimes of the Lord. Why Lord has big eyes, why he descended in 5 forms etc.
Krishna is always full of six opulences–namely complete wealth, complete strength, complete fame, complete knowledge, complete beauty and complete renunciation. The Lord appears in different complete, eternal forms of incarnation. The conditioned soul has immense opportunity to hear and read about the transcendental activities of the Lord in these different incarnations. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, janma karma ca me divyam. The pastimes and activities of the Lord are not material and they are beyond the material conception. But the conditioned soul can benefit by hearing such uncommon activities. Reading is an opportunity to associate with the Lord. Then one can immediately evolve to his transcendental nature. Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes are not only beautiful; they are also very pleasing to the mind.
If someone takes advantage of reading the pastimes of the Lord, the material contamination of dust, accumulated in the heart due to long association with material nature, can be immediately cleansed and dormant love for Krishna awakens.
