Lord Krishna explains: - BG 9.26
patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah
“If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.”
Lord Krsna is also known as Karuna Sindhu, He is so merciful that once a fruit vendor came to Krsna’s house in Vrindavan for selling fruit. Lord Krsna was a small child and He had often seen Mother Yashoda and Nanda Maharaja using barter system for exchanging goods or things.
So when Lord Krsna saw the fruit vendor, He ran inside the house and got handful of grains. While He was running, the grains were falling from His tiny little fingers and when He reached towards the fruit vendor He hardly had any grains left in His hands and He gave them all to the fruit vendor.
The fruit vendor was so captivated by little Krsna’s beauty and innocence that she gave away all the fruit from her basket. Lord Krsna smiled and went inside the house. When the fruit vendor saw her basket, it was filled with diamonds, pearls, gold, silver and many more precious things.
This is how Lord Krsna showers upon us His blessings. This festival gives us an opportunity to offer the love and devotion of our hearts to Their lordships in the form of simple flowers.
