Krishna Janamashtami with Swami Sai Premananda
“Lord Krishna’s curls were like the ocean’s waves falling upon themselves—so perfect, natural, and full. His eyes were like a cow’s eyes—big, beautiful, dark, and deep. His skin shimmered in beauty. Each cell of his body was absolutely perfect in beauty. His laughter made everyone laugh. His dancing made everyone dance. His silence silenced everyone. Everyone’s mind, body, and soul hung on every movement of Krishna’s. Every day, all those around him fell more and more madly in love with Krishna.
Only in Brindavan was there peace. Do you know why? This is why: everyone in Brindavan was only thinking about Krishna. Their eyes were seeking to see Krishna. Their ears were listening for Krishna. Their tongue was yearning for the taste of Krishna’s food. Their hearts were yearning to be with Krishna. All of that which constitutes a human being was yearning for Krishna… In this way, Krishna played the most magnificent game. In just the years of his childhood, he enlightened the many thousands in Brindavan.”
