The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, attracts all because of His Supreme Transcendental Qualities. The name Krishna denotes that He pleases all by attracting all. All others, other than the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna are being attracted by Him. As for example, it is the nature of the magnet to attract iron and it is the nature of iron to be attracted by the magnet. But when there is rust on the iron, this nature is not seen to be manifested. When the rust is removed iron immediately runs towards the magnet. All living beings of this world, in their real selves have got attraction for Sri Krishna i.e. have got natural love for Sri Krishna. It is not to be borrowed from somebody else. When the spirit soul by misuse of his relative independence becomes averse to Sri Krishna he is enveloped by the illusory energy of the Supreme Lord and is hurled down into this worldly ocean of births and deaths. A fortunate spirit soul, by the previous good impressions of eternal good deeds, comes in contact with the bona fide pure devotee, and then their eternal nature to love Krishna is awakened.

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.
