\u2018What do we love about Krishna?\u2019
\nIn the chapter of the Krishna book titled \u201cPrayers by the Demigods for Lord Krishna in the Womb\u201d Srila Prabhupada cautions against the tendency to be a bit impersonal towards God. We understand that Krishna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has both personal and impersonal aspects \u2013 He is simultaneously one with everything and different from everything. It\u2019s easy to see and appreciate the power and energy of Krishna in the world in front of us, but sometimes not so easy to see or understand Krishna as a person \u2013 who is He? What does He do?
\nThe call of the soul, the dharma of life, is to reawaken our relationship with the person Krishna. Prabhupada says we have to have some \u2018feeling for the Personality of Godhead\u2019 and to become \u2018affectionately attached\u2019 to the Lord. How do we do that? How do we feel those feelings?
\nA good place to start is to ask ourselves \u2018What do we love about Krishna?\u2019. Maybe it\u2019s His flute playing, or His dancing with the Gopis under the full moon? Perhaps it\u2019s His love for animals and especially His affection for cows? Or His love of nature \u2013 forests and flowers, rivers and trees?
\nIs it the sweets He likes to eat? The kirtan of His holy name that warms our heart? Do we love His devotees who seem so happy to serve Him, or His philosophy of equal vision and spiritual consciousness? Or the incredible role He plays in the Bhagavad-gita as a friend and mentor to Arjuna?
\nThere are so many things to love about Krishna. Read Krishna Book and be drawn to love and honor Him for who He is, not who we want Him to be. After all, He gives us our individuality and want\u2019s us to be \u2018real\u2019 with Him. Let\u2019s return the gesture, give Him His and allow it to nourish and grow our love for Him, for God as a Person, for Krishna.
