When ever we want to thank someone who has helped us , we either reciprocate by giving gifts or express our gratitude by repeatedly bringing to their notice that their timely help contributed to our well being. This is with regards to the mortals who have helped us but how to thank our dearest creator Lord Sri Krishna , the supreme personality of godhead? We all seek answers , in how to please Lord Sri Krishna, what are the things that our lord will feel the most happy when we offer him at his lotus feet?
To my mind, the most important things which our lord feels the greatest happiness in , is when his creations surrenders wholeheartedly unto his lotus feet, believes in his constant magic, has an implicit faith in him come what may, he is with us , in a pure and pristine heart if his creations serve him either by offering flowers, fruits, water, discuss his holy past times with pure bhakti and above all constantly wish to sing his glories and serve him eternally he is the most happy. What can we offer our dearest Sri Krishna when everything has been created by him and gifted to us? Here we use the word "samarpayami" which means that we are offering him only from what he has gifted us with pure love and affection. The best part is our Lord Sri Krishna loves the most simple things and is the happiest when we love him from the core of our heart. We need not offer him expensive jewellery if our pockets do not permit but surely we can offer him a beautiful peacock feather so light and divine which will please him beyond words and adorn his most beautiful tresses. We may be unable to offer him costly sweets but can't we offer him the simple annaprasadam which we prepare at our home and then after he happily partakes of it eat it with joy?. We may be busy and hence may find it slightly difficult to spend hours singing his glories but can we at every moment of our life along with our daily routine , think of him, his greatest ways and at every moment for everything bestowed on us utter one simple "thanks" which is like our breathing process , eternal ongoing and one does not have to spend even half a second extra, for it is natural and hardly anyone of us notice our breaths which keeps us alive , in the same way can we as a very natural process , with the greatest happiness and most humble reverence and gratitude find half a second to thank our creator Lord Sri Krishna. Is it very tough?
When we think of various ways to enrich and bring joy to our lives at every moment , can we just take few minutes to understand what would please our lord and offer that to him as our very small token of affection to him to convey to him that whatever we are today is only because of Lord Sri Krishna's grace , benediction and love for all of us...
Let us, now and ever, here and hereafter, thank our most beloved creator Lord Sri Krishna and count each of our blessings and chant the maha mantra "HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE , HARE RAAMA HARE RAAMA RAAMA RAAMA HARE " with true devotion , surely the least we can do is offer our humble pranams to our creator. The fact that Meera ma, Radha ma, Gyaneshwar Maharaj, Tukaram maharaj, Pundlik Maharaj and countless other great saints could merge with Lord Sri Krishna only through their pure devotion , can't we too as individual jeeva atma merge with our dearest parmaa atma which is the only true eternal bliss. HARE KRISHNA........
