Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Krsna is the energetic, and Radharani is the energy. Just like

When Arjuna had to kill Jayadrata by sunset, the whole Kuru Army was in front between Arjuna and Jayadrata. Every single man in the entire Kuru Army, tens and millions of peo
