The root cause of our being in the prison-house of worldly bondage is our aversion to the Supreme Lord. After forgetting Sri Krishna, the Supreme Lord, and being enveloped by the illusory energy, we passed through eight million births as aquatic animals, trees, worms, birds and beasts and after that we got this precious human birth. God has bestowed upon human beings the power to discriminate between eternal and non-eternal, so that they are capable of accepting eternal truth by giving up non-eternal things. This human birth is not meant for just eating, sleeping, defending and mating like beasts and birds. Human beings have the opportunity to worship Krishna (God). But at any moment we may lose this chance.

We have imbibed bad and good thoughts in our minds by passing through so many births. So it will take time to remove the bad thoughts and enhance devotional eternal good thoughts. The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna has advised in the Gita that through abhyasa yoga, spiritual practice of subduing the evil thoughts and enhancing good eternal thoughts, by sincerely practising, gradually we will be able to get a stable state of mind.

Sri Jagannatha Ratha-Yatra

He after that time, in the holy City of Puri in His role as a renunciate, began exhibiting the pangs of intense separation characteristic of high devotional moods. Apparently, although it was His mother's behest in Advaita Bhavan for Himself to reside in the holy City of Puri, in actual fact it was all His own very plan. Puri City is the Supreme Lord's natural abode. The other familiar names for this City are Purusottama, Sri Ksetra, Nilacala, Lord Sri Krishna at one time, informed Sri Mahadeva about His hidden realm Puri whose glories are understood by only a very few (Chaitanya Bhagavata Antya 2nd).

Vṛndāvane Chalo! He Gopīnātha

The love of the Vrajavāsis for Śrī Kṛṣṇa is unparalleled and supreme. When they heard that Kṛṣṇa would be coming to Kurukṣetra from Dvārakā, their hearts surged with longing. Though uninvited, they could not restrain themselves—they were compelled by the fire of separation to catch even a glimpse of their beloved. This episode beautifully reveals the depth and intensity of their love, which knows no bounds, follows no protocol, and seeks no reward—only union with Kṛṣṇa.
