TUMHI HO MATA PITA TUMHI HO , TUMHI HO BANDOO SAKHAA TUMHI HO, THIS SAY IT ALL, SINCE OUR EXISTANCE lORD sri KRISHNA has been our mother and father.
SIMPLE THEORY: Sri KRISHNA CHANDRA BHAGAWAN,never leaves srI Golokha Vrindavan where HE resides eternally doing His lilas with the Gopis and SrimatiRadharanis.
Now, HE expands Himself whenever He want to perform His lilas on Bhu lokh,Mother Earth. One among His expansion is,
Sri Radharanis, His pleasure potency energy, She come from the left side of sri Krishna Bhagawan, Adhangni.
So, the Sastra says, because sri mati Radharani is our eternal mother & sri Krishna is our eternal father, HE IS BOTH MOTHER & FATHER.
Hare Krishna , amataji, i HOPE YOU CAN SEE TH ELOGIK IN THE SASTRAS.
But,in general Srila Prabupad had explicitly translated The GITA in more than 40 languages,So, grab hold of a BHAGAWAD GITA by srila Prabupad and start enjoying the nectar of sri Krishna lilas.Our ultimate goal and self realisation start from here,
From my understanding albeit limited. I see no problem in viewing Krsna as Father and Mother. If we are really honest we are neither male nor female we are all souls. As far as I understand the soul is genderless. I know on many a occasion Lord Krsna has comforted me as a mother would a hurt child. We are not this body... Lord Krsna is the Supreme personality of the Godhead. Krsna is all in all... I honestly do not believe our Dear Lord would in anyway be insulted by such a thought.
I have not any idea to think Krishna as a mother, but I think to think Krishna's cow as a mother and it will be more than to think to Krishna as a mother.Because of cow in at present in very dangerous position, as it was not so in whole human history. If try to protect cow as per Srila Prabhupada's vision, to establish "Virndavan village, based on "Daivya Varnasramdharma", which further centered around the cow,All cows have to be not only protected but all material problems of modern world can be solved.I think Krishna's mercy now focus on this issue!
tumhi ho mata pita tumhi ho, tumhi ho bandoo, sakha tumhi ho, LORD SRI KRISHNA CHANDRA BHAGAWAN IS OUR ETERNAL MOTHER AND FATHER, FROM HIM EVERY LIVING EMANATES AND IN HIM EVERYTHING IS ABSORBED.
THE LORD IS OMNIPOTENT , OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT .HE IS SATCHIT ANANDA VIGRAHA.
Just wanted to share one more point that i heard in one of the lectures some time ago. The devotee was explaining how one has to treat the deities (Radha Krishna). He said that one must try to treat the deities as ones own child. As a parent we will not ask our child to grant of some wish or do some favor. And if we worship the Lord in that mood as a parent, then at least we will not ask for something cheap material and temporary.
“Being free of offense, chant the holy name of Krishna. Krishna is our mother, our father
and the treasure of our life.

The ultimate goal of a devotee is earning pure devotion (prem bhakti). So, to achieve the highest perfection, we cantake the shelter of any kind of approved relationships. Moreover, prem bhakti offers every relationship to Krishna as it doesn't know anyone without Krishna. We can see, in the Vrindavan lila, when Krishna appears in front of Gopis as Vishnu, they rejected Him though they would know that Vishnu is the supreme God. However, they requested Him to bless them for getting Krishna.
So, it depends on individual to choose the relationship by which he/she can achieve the highest perfection. However, in this case, spiritual master must play a good role. His decision should be more appreciable. "Srila Narottama dasa Thakura says, sadhu-sastra-guru-vakya, cittete kariya aikya. One should accept a thing as genuine by studying the words of saintly people, the spiritual master and sastra.

Thank you prabhuji's for your response.
true we can consider the lord as mother but it shud be a natural feeling.not premature too.it should come on its own in due course of time.
Hori boll, Dandavat pranati. The following song may clarify it.
