Super Gracious Lord

Hare krsna.. Hooray!
Mood : Serene + convinced

I am always amazed at how kind Krsna is to us, even though we were such rascals when we wanted to enjoy seperate from Him. When we start to realize how everything occurs because of His will, I guess we can realize that everything turns out for the better. We only think we know what we need, but Krsna knows for certain, and He gives us what we really need for our advancement.

As the Andal Alvar wrote in Her Tirupavai - Avvavendru araithzu arulenror empavai .." Oh madhava,Please examine myself first throughly and then bless me with what i require to serve You only" So, for us devotees, I feel like He is espicially merciful. Since He is the original artist, that means that every piece of art any artist has ever done is simply copying Krsna in some way. He gives us our ideas, our sources, etc., and we, being foolish, almost never realize who has really been our intelligence.

We seem to think we can create very superior products, but Krsna created the brain. Not only is that extremely complex in and of itself, it is also the means by which we can execute the ideas we get. So, to all beautiful devotees out there, lets change our perceptions and serve with love, love and love...

The Supreme Artist

Hare Krishna! Hooray..

Mood : Adoration

The other day, while driving to office for some photography shooting, I was thinking about Srimad-Bhagavatam, and how it says that Krsna is the intelligence behind all creations which i heard the previous day. No one can create as well as Him, and even Brahma meditates upon Him before creating. [1.1.1]

I was driving with rhea along, when suddenly I was distracted by the remnents of the sunrise, the crack of dawn at Cyberjaya valley. It was one of those surreal ones, where the sky is greenish and the clouds are orange. I thought to the sunrise 'dang, would I like to paint you' [as an artist I believe I am allowed to seem nutters] and then I realized that it was Krsna's painting on the sky. That was just amazing. I was also glad that I don't have any more college essays to write, now that I have talked to a sunrise. Although on the other hand, a heavy day awaits me.....
