Lord Krishna is the central and most powerful God in the Hindu pantheon. He represents all aspects of Human emotion. He is also the creator as well as the destroyer. Lord Krishna is omnipresentin Hindu thought and philosophy. He is the most powerful of the Gods and his presence is all pervading. He is also a God who was a non-Brahman and the Bhagwad Gita or the Song Divine is attributed to him. The Bhagwad Gita lays down the essence of the Hindu faith and brings out the immortality of the soul.

His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami (Calcutta)

The word pada-yatra literally means to walk on foot. In early India people used to travel by chariot, horseback, elephant, bullock-cart, or palanquin. But saintly persons, having renounced such worldly comforts, would travel by foot. Their main concern was to teach the glories of God to the conditioned living entities and thereby deliver them from their miserable materialistic lives.

ये रथ जा रहा किस ओर

कहाँ चले हे नंदकिशोर.

जा रहा क्यूं व्रज को तू छोड़

हमसे सारे रिश्तों को तोड़.

ज़रा बता दे गलती हमारी

हो गया क्या हमसे कसूर.

क्षण का विरह सहा नही जाता

जा रहा तू अब इतनी दूर.

दिन को बांसुरी बजा बुलाया

रात को संग में रास रचाया.

कैसी आग लगी मथुरा में कि

तूने आज वो सब कुछ भुलाया.

प्यार था तेरा या था छलावा

अपनापन का था वो दिखावा.

हम तो ठहरी गावं की ग्वालन

प्रेम समझ उसे सिर पे चढ़ाया.

व्रज के रक्षक कहलाते थे और

आज प्राण हमारे लिए जा रहे.

हम हुए थे तेरे सबको छोड़

आज जाके अपनी किसे कहे.

The word krsna also happens to mean "black snake". Radhika therefore said," If You are a black snake, then why come here? Do You want to bite me? Go to the forest. You have no purpose here."

"No Priyatama, I am Ghanasyama."
Radhika decided to take ghanasyama

The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word “prasadam” is mercy. So when we say “Krishna prasadam” we are referring to Krishna’s mercy.

To understand what prasadam is we need to clear up a common misconception. Generally we are under the impression that we are the owners of the things that we posses and these things are meant for our enjoyment. And t
