Swami Chinmayananda on Lord Krishna

This Supreme Essence born as a mass of Beauty, Music and Joy, dazzling in Wisdom, noisy with Laughter, ever a Master of Circumstances, a King of Events, frisking about in life’s melancholy contentions, meeting challenges with daring and confidence, at once a Hero and a Child all rolled in one – this is the perfect God-Man, the Eternal Child of Vrindavan.
– Swami Chinmayananda

Krishna still holds an aura of mystery around Him, as He did thousands of years ago. We know Him as the cute baby Krishna, the mischievous Krishna who stole butter and played pranks on the Gopis and as the God that inspired Arjuna to wield the bow again. But is He merely a colourful character mentioned in our scriptures or is there a deeper significance to the multi-faceted life of Krishna?

To talk about him and his glory, not even Krishna can do it! In his one single lifetime, so much has been packed in it, it takes almost a lifetime to understand and appreciate. And there may be areas in his glory that our human mind may not even conceive and appreciate.
