Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Sometimes,  some Devotees complain that Bhagavan Sri Krishna is not responding to their prayers. This is very surprising especially in view of Bhagavan's famous declaration in Bhagavad Gita, that He is easily available to His Bhakta.

It is a fact that, all sincere Devotees have a divine communication link with Sri Krishna.The effectiveness of this link depends on a few factors like:

1.    *SharanAgathi* ( taking shelter  ) into Bhagavan.

2.    Commitment to live according to Bhagavad Gita.

3.    Constant self-purification by *Nama-japam*, etc.

4.    Firm willingness to serve Bhagavan and His Bhaktas.

The level of a Bhakta's communication link with Bhagavan depends upon the Bhakta's marks on the above. Krishna has the habit of testing His Bhaktas. This is only to facilitate their self-purification and spiritual advancement. Even Sri Arjuna, the greatest Krishna-bhakta was severely tested and even admonished many times. Arjuna only benefited from those tests.

All pure Devotees of Sri Krishna, gratefully admit that , Bhagavan is a live-reality in their day-to-day life. He alerts them from dangers and saves them from accidents, illnesses , financial and all sorts of other problems.

Bhagavan Sri Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavad Gita  (4.9-11):

"O Arjuna! My birth ( Avataram) and activities are divine. One who knows Sri Krishna's pastimes in truth, does not take another birth after leaving his present body. He certainly comes to  Me. Freed from attachment, fear and anger, with their concentration fixed on Me, being completely surrendered, and purified by the cultivation of vedic knowledge and Bahkti , numerous persons have merged in Me . My Bhaktas gladly surrender to Me and worship Me.  I reciprocate to them , accordingly. Bhaktas sincerely follow My path.)"
