Why do we offer Pranams to Krishna

In Mukunda-mālā (43)—
kṛṣṇo rakṣati no jagat-traya-guruḥ kṛṣṇo hi viśvambharaḥ
kṛṣṇād eva samutthitaṁ jagad idaṁ kṛṣṇe layaṁ gacchati

kṛṣṇe tiṣṭhati viśvam etad akhilaṁ kṛṣṇasya dāsā vayaṁ
kṛṣṇenākhila-sad-gatir vitaritā kṛṣṇāya tasmai namaḥ

Translation: Krishna protects us. Krishna is the spiritual master of the three worlds. Krishna is the sustainer of the universe. The entire creation arose from Krishna and is wound up in Him at the time of dissolution. The entire universe is situated within Krishna. We are Krishna’s servants. All perfections are given by Krishna, so we offer our obeisance to Him

  • Hare krishna Dandavat!

    I have practicing Bhakti yoga for 12 years in China. I always want to make advancement in KC.so by Guru maharaj's mercy i visit india iskcon regularly for pilgrimage .This time when i was visiting the temple I assaulted twice by an old lady devotee named Madan mohini and two temple weman guards on 22 Augest at Iskcon Radha Paratasarati temple East of kailash hare krishna land NewDelhi.
    I am coming for attending Janmastami and gurudeva's vyas puja one week ago.i did not do any improper activity whatever inside of temple or in outside.but the temple guards and the devotee trade me like to trade a criminal. I was assaulted by them in one day. there photographies had token. My clothing fell down from body by two guards pulling,
    I was pushed to aside in front of handrail of deities on 4.30am by Madhan Mohini
    which many devotees have witness.she still spoke very threatening words toward me at second day when i was reporting her activity to temple security. I m single and visiting along,i am always hurted by this lady in Iskcon temple in these 5 years when i am visiting iskcon in India.The office secretary of this temple she had just said self protection words,she did not give any explain about guards harmed me and apologizing. I am innocent in those bad associations and very disappoint to such persons who are living in Pabupada's family nicely but doing very selfishness activities,these persons harm not only me but many devotees even who is very senior.They can find out many excuses to defend themselves.
    I am traveling here along,I do not want to hurt anyone.I write this out just for showing some realty of New Delhi iskcon temple,there is no any devotee care at least for Chinese. Hope devotees pray to krishna for me for afresh my faith to krishna,and to make our society is really a KC movement but not a society of villain protector.
