Kanhaji, You have given me a great year


Kanha has planned every moment of our lives before we have even been born. He knows what is going to happen to us, but He leaves us choices along the way - if we react in certain ways, we face certain consequences and if we react in other ways - our consequences are different. The important thing therefore is to remember that Kanhaji is the one we should turn to when we are making our choices.
Kanhaji, I want to thank You for giving me a great year. Everything has been great for me and I love how much You have protected me and helped me along the way. Everything that I have tried to do has been successful and I have allowed myself to grow and become more confident than I ever felt I could be. I am also more beautiful than I would have thought possible. Thank You for Your love and please continue to be a part of my life in this new coming year.
Please help me to find true love in this year, help me to achieve the final stages of my accomplishments. Help me to love You even more and to understand how to love You better and be a better devotee of Yours.
Kanhaji, please don't ever leave my side.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha's protection

Is above all other forms of protection and love.

Kanha gives signals

Signs, signals, everyone from all religions of the world agrees that God uses signs and signals to reach us. He takes care of us by telling us what to do while using these signs. He keeps us safe and happy and healthy always. He loves us. We must learn to realize when He has sent us a sign, but we must also learn the appropriate interpretation of such signs.
Kanha, please help us to understand and interpret Your signs and signals correctly.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha's tlc

TLC - Tender loving care, its something that Kanha always provides to us, all the times, everywhere. Kanha loves us and He shows us ways to help ourselves and to feel better even when we have the tendency to get into sadness or anything negative in the least. Kanha gives the answers to our questions and He teaches us to deal with disappointments, happiness, shock and pain.
Kanha helps us to maintain our dignity because He loves us.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha helps with disappointments

Sometimes in life people disappoint you, things disappoint you, situations and circumstances disappoint you. However, Kanhaji never disappoints. True faith in Him is always rewarded and He even helps us with the daily disappointments He threw our way to help us build character.
Kanhaji is the one to turn to at all times. He turns disappointments and sorrow into good things and happiness and a good time with friends and family. Kanhaji loves us and He will always take care of us. He cannot bear to see us unhappy, just as we cannot bear to be without Him, He likes taking care of us.
I hope that everyone reading this will realize how powerful Kanhaji's love and protection is.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha will help me

Sometimes when things aren't going our way, we have to trust in Kanhaji to make everything alright again. He always will do so. He will show us why His will is better to be followed than our own will. He always shows us the right path.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Kanha helps me to mend

Sore relationships are always the hardest thing to mend in my opinion. But, my experience with Kanhaji has always allowed me to mend these things easily.

Saturday, December 18, 2010

Kanha, decisions

Decisions are hard to make and sometimes we make the wrong ones. Sometimes we do and say things so hurtful that there's no coming back from that. Kanha helps us when we do such rash and impulsive things. He takes care of us when feel sad because of our actions. He loves us and guides us always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha and gut instincts

Today I was supposed to go out to complete a particular task. However, I didn't feel like going at the last minute. So, I decided not to and to follow my gut instincts. But the thing is, people say 'gut instincts' without realizing that they're not gut instincts, they're signals that Kanha is sending to you to help you to decide what to do and when. Kanha takes care of us using those instincts because He tells us and warns us before when things may not go our way.
People who get strong instincts to do or not to do something should follow those instincts because they really come from Kanha, or God, whatever name you call Him by.
Thank You Kanha for giving me Your guidance in this way.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Thursday, December 16, 2010

Kanha, Your love

Conquers everything. It makes me realize when things aren't going my way and it makes me see that even when things don't work out - its part of Your will. Your greater plan is something that we know nothing about. Thank You for taking care of us and keeping us all safe and happy and healthy. Thank You for showing me when to continue to talk to someone and when to stop. Thank You for little blessings, many friends and peacefulness.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha's decisions

Everything should be left up to Kanha. He will make all things right. Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha, Your strength helps

Kanha, You always give me Your strength exactly when I need it. Thank You for that Kanhaji. I dont really want to write much more because I am feeling so much right now. Thank You for being there for me and giving me the courage to do what I have to. Thank You for showing me so clearly that You are the one I should confide in.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Monday, December 13, 2010

Kanha thank You for friends

Sometimes in life we need friends around us - people who will love us and take care of us without judging us. We need these people to be our peers from different aspects of our life than our relatives. This is important - having Kanha choose our friends will always help us to grow.

Sunday, December 12, 2010

Thank You Kanha

Kanha, once more You have helped us in this difficult situation. In spite of all the pent up anger in me, You managed that as well and now I know that dealing with this in the right way entails no yelling or shouting. Kanha, I am grateful to You that nothing bad has happened and that she is alright. Please help her to understand the gravity of the situation and continue to take care of her health. Thank You for being with us and giving us all the strength we needed.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Saturday, December 11, 2010

Kanha, please help me make the right decisions

Kanha, I know that You guide me in everything that I do, and I know that You make me act in a way that is pleasing to You. Thank You for that Kanha. Please help me to be a good person always and to continue to follow my instincts in every matter. Please help me to take care of myself and to safeguard others. I need people to know that I am different and that I do everything that I do because I have consulted You.
Kanha, please continue to guide me in the same way that You always have.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji helps me loosen up

Sometimes you need to work hard and some times you should play hard to reward yourself for the work well done. Kanhaji always shows us when each thing should be applied.

Kanha gives so much help

I had so much work to do today that at one point I was feeling very overwhelmed. But, as usual, Kanhaji stepped in and helped me all the way. He showed me what to do and how to do it so that everything would be fine. Now I am feeling confident, with a healthy dose of nerves! But Kanhaji, I am sure, will be with me throughout the presentation right till the very end.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Monday, December 6, 2010

Kanha's blessings

Kanha blesses us everyday and we don't even know it most of the time. This is why we should pray to Him asking for His guidance and protection always. We should also remember to thank Him for His love.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Sunday, December 5, 2010

Kanha ensures that I am prepared

Sometimes in life we have major things to do - which we need to be prepared for. Kanhaji always makes sure that I am prepared to face the music. Thank You for that Kanhaji and please help us all to remember the importance of preparation. Someone once told me that they live by the motto "work extremely hard and then when it's all over, play extremely hard". It makes sense because overworking yourself is detrimental - it hurts you in both the short and long run. Kanha teaches us and gives us the energy to fuel our hard work and He gives us equal energy to fuel our well-deserved play.
Kanha has taught us in all His actions that work is as important as play - He frolicked in the fields after tending to the cows, He protected those who were hurt after He ate and enjoyed with His friends. Thank You Kanha, for teaching me by Your own example.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Saturday, December 4, 2010

Kanha, please give me strength

Sometimes we feel alone and scared and worried about assignments and things we have to complete and feel like we are very far away from finishing. Kanha takes care of us and shows us the way. He keeps us safe and happy and healthy always. We have to trust in Him to show us the right path and to help us pull through. He always does what is right for us.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Friday, December 3, 2010

Kanha allows amazing things to happen

Sometimes when we have a task to complete we can't help but feel that time is running against us. Kanha steps in to show us just how much time we really have and how we should use it effectively. Jai Shri Krishna.

Thursday, December 2, 2010

Kanha teaches

Many things in life are taught by Kanha. But, we are so silly sometimes, we don't realize that He makes us experience certain things to be taught a lesson. Kanha, please help me to understand that everything in life is a learning experience and please help me to trust You and love You always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Kanha gives me

Kanha gives me so much in my life that I can only label this post 'Kanha gives me' because there is so much to say, I have to express how happy I am with my life and how much Kanha has given to me. In the midst of the material things I have to say that the most precious gift I ever received was the knowledge of His undying love and protection and power in my life.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Kanha is here

Kanha ka ashirvad

Hamesha mere saath

Kanha

I have to thank You Kanha for being there for me no matter what. There is no one else who can do that for me. I know You have sent people in my life who love me, but I also know that I cannot depend fully on other persons, I can depend fully on You and You alone. Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha teaches me to slow down

Some days you just need to slow down and allow yourself time to rest and recuperate. Kanha has showed me this and I am thankful to Him for this lesson.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Saturday, November 27, 2010

Kanha tells me when to pause

Sometimes we have to pause and reassess what we are doing. Kanha tells us when and we should listen to Him.

Friday, November 26, 2010

Kanha encourages

It doesn't matter how low we feel in self esteem, Kanha finds a way to motivate us and encourage us to be our absolute best. His word is all we need to listen to and it is final.
Kanha loves us and we love Him - now and always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha and my faith in Him


Today is my 300th post! Yay!
I want to talk a little bit about faith in Kanhaji and exactly what it means. Faith is a very strong word and you may wonder why I'm saying that but people go around saying they have faith all the time and they really dont. True faith comes from knowing without a shadow of a doubt that Kanhaji will provide for you, will take care of you, will love you always. Faith means that you have to trust Him, even when things aren't going your way - you have to accept that you dont always understand how He works but you know that He will do what is right for you.
My faith is something that I want to be proud of. I know it is not yet perfect because many times I find myself faltering and wondering why Kanhaji didn't do a certain thing at a certain time or why He allowed me to put myself in a situation where I wasn't totally comfortable. But the thing is, that's what faith is all about - knowing in the end that Kanhaji wants us to learn life's lessons and He will find a way to teach those things to us and He will find a way to help us along the way when things get too difficult.
Faith in Kanhaji is something that we must work at.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaiya

Whenever I feel anything I turn to You - happy, sad, angry, scared, worried, elated, anxious, excited, surprised, I turn to You. You are always there Kanha, You will always be with me, You will always love me and You will always show me a way to move from negative into positive. Of this I am absolutely certain.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Kanha comforts

Sometimes we need comfort and some extra TLC. Kanha is ALWAYS there to provide that to us. It doesnt matter if those we love do not do this for us, He will do it and He will take care of us in the same manner in which He always does. Kanha will always love us and always take care of us. Even when others seem to have turned their backs on you, do not give up, instead, turn to Kanha and love Him always as a tribute to His undying and everlasting love for you.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Monday, November 22, 2010

Kanha

Kanha is all around us. I know I keep saying that but some days it just hits you in such a blatant manner that you cant help but think 'Jai Shri Krishna! I felt You here with me today!'. Does that ever happen to you reader?
Well it happens to me all the time- something bad was about to happen and it didnt, you see other people struggling to do something that you know you would have suffered to do as well but Kanhaji guided you in some special way and allowed you to get through it all.
Kanhaji sometimes makes us do things that other people dont understand - compassionate things like give people our money, our time, our teachings and wisdom, and most of all - our LOVE!
Kanha, please continue working in all of our lives in this way.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha - decisions

Kanha helps me make the right decisions in life always. For this I am very grateful because without Him I know I would have felt lost and more than a little lonely at times.

Saturday, November 20, 2010

Kanha is in my heart

Kanha, You are always in my heart, always in my soul and Your words always guide me. Thank You for being with me and helping me in so many ways - some ways that I have discovered and others that I havent.
Kanha, please touch the lives of those reading this blog and let them know that You are Lord and You will protect them always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha motivates and helps

And He teaches me to do the same for my friends and those I care about deeply. Every now and then we all need a little boost to motivate us. Kanhaji is always there to provide that and He even begins to tell us how to comfort and take care of those around us. Being imperfect, we sometimes do not understand the purely selfless nature in such acts. However, Kanha is there to guide us and help us always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Kanha takes care of it all

All aspects of our lives need Kanha's intervention. We should remember that He is the one we should always turn to when we need guidance, protection, help, love. He always comes through for us and shows us the right things to do to take care of ourselves and of those around us. Kanha helps us to be good people - kind and loving and accepting of others and I can assure you that whenever people see a devotee of Kanha they know that something is special about that person because they can sense something different in our lives. I have felt this happening with myself recently - I feel a difference in the way I feel now, when I am devout to Kanha and they way I used to feel in the past, before Kanha was such an important part of my life.
Kanha, thank You for bringing about this change in my life and please continue to be a presence in my life now and always. Please take care of everyone reading this post.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha, sirf Kanha

Many times in life I've heard people say that you should never put your 'head on a block' for anyone. Its true. Others have made exceptions to this rule - never put your head on a block for anyone but your immediate family. But, the truth is, immediate family sometimes surprises you in a negative way! Therefore, never put your head on a block for anyone. Instead, remember that the only one you can trust is Kanha. He is the only one who will always help us and take care of us from now and forevermore.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha makes me self-sufficient


Being independent is a major goal of all adults today. We never like to think that we are dependent on others to help us or to take care of us. We prefer to think that we can do it all alone. This is both a good and a bad thing. Independence is desireable because it means that we are now able to take care of ourselves and make our own ways in the world. However, many parents have a hard time letting go of their children and try to hold on to them. We, as children, must understand that our parents have given their lives to bringing us up and are therefore attached to us. But, the responsbility also lies in us to make our parents understand that they do need to let go of us. We must be able to assure them that we can make our own ways in the world with Kanha's help. Remind them that Kanha is always there to lend a helping hand.
Kanha wants us to be independent but He also wants us to be able to turn to Him and to remember that He controls all.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha gives us intelligence


Talent, education, responsibility, all those words go together. Those of us who are talented or educated, know that those things bring power - people begin to look up to you and see you as someone to be emulated, as someone to trust and listen to. This is the power that we get from being very talented and or educated and skilled in our various professions. However, the ability to use that type of power for good or evil rests within us and I truly believe that the only way that someone can truly resist temptation to do evil is by following Kanhaji and listening to Him, placing faith and trust in Him and asking Him to be our guide and counselor along every step of the way.

I think that we would do well to remember that exercising power in a negative manner is hurting Kanhaji and that it doesnt matter if no one else knows about the wrong things that we may do while in positions of power, Kanhaji knows and He will always know. He is always watching and this is something that we must remember at ALL times.

Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanha boosts my confidence

Sometimes your confidence wanes and things seem a little scary. At those times turning to Kanha is important. He will provide the boost in confidence that we need. Jai Shri Krishna!

Thursday, November 11, 2010

Kanha always helps

Kanha teaches us valuable lessons and He always helps us.

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Kanhaji gives us wake-up calls

When danger is near or when we have done something that will harm ourselves or health, Kanhaji gives us a wake-up call that tells us that we need to alter our behaviour if we wish to excel.

Kanhaji gives me confidence

New experiences are always very nerve wracking, but Kanhaji is always there to take care of us all and give us the much needed confidence required to move forward and succeed.

Kanhaji helps me to maintain family connections

All relationships require work. If people dont make an effort to take care of one another and be close to each other, then things dont work out - siblings become distant, parents and children dont speak, friends are no longer friends - sound depressing doesn't it?
I think that one of the major lessons Kanhaji taught us is about personal interrelationships - He loved everyone when He came to earth and everyone loved Him. Those who didnt show love for Him, like the Kauravas, were scared of Him, but even that fear is a form of devotion because one of the most popular things parents say to errant children is "if you dont fear anyone, fear God". And its true, Kanhaji is there to correct us when we are doing the wrong thing, He is there to guide and protect us to help us to continue doing the correct thing.
The correct thing in this case is to be close to family - immediate and extended.
Jai Shri Krishna

kanhaji gives me new ideas

Whenever I feel backed into a corner and like I am at a loss for ideas, something comes to me. Its not coincidence! Its Kanhaji acting in my life.

Saturday, November 6, 2010

Kanhaji creates opportunities

Kanhaji creates opportunities for us to excel, to shine, to do well. Sometimes we make the most of these, other times we dont. When we falter we feel badly, upset, sad, hurt confused, ashamed. Kanhaji knows all of these things and He is always there to make us feel better. Just as when we were children and our emotions were heightened - we would cry when we were scared, upset, hurt and especially when we were ashamed because we could have recognized the feeling that something bad had happened and it was our fault and we didnt know how to deal with it. So, we tried to glean sympathy from those around us in the form of tears. You may think that this is a rather complex analysis of a child's tears but I myself remember being a little child and crying to get certain things that I wanted - dont think me terribly spoiled, all children do this!
However, as we grow older we learn that we must deal with our emotions ourselves and we should learn to minimize the situations in which we may be left feeling ashamed.
When it does happen, some people deal with it better than others. It doesnt matter if you can deal with it or not, you should turn to Kanhaji because as much as you think that you have dealt with your emotions, He knows so much more and placing yourself in His hands gives you a sense of calm and a feeling of safety like no other.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji's Divali ashirvad


Divali is the festival of lights - the true celebration of the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Kanhaji is the one who dispels darkness in the world - He helps us to find light and to see light in situations. He helps us to make friends and find those who love us and will be with us forever. Kanhaji helps us to make difficult decisions and to keep difficult promises. He guides us and takes care of us and He always will.
I am sure of this now and always. Kanhaji, this year Your Divali blessings helped me to see the value of the friends I have who have become like family members now.
Thank You for Your blessings now and always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Thursday, November 4, 2010

Kanhaji helps me with what I need


Needs and wants are completely different concepts - we should be clear of that. Kanhaji always takes care of our needs and sometimes He helps us to take care of our wants as well. Kanhaji loves us unconditionally and all He asks is that we remember that and love Him as well. Loving Him is really easy, I always talk to Kanhaji as if He is my friend. That helps me significantly in feeling close to Him.
Its Divali tomorrow, in some places, today. Remember Kanhaji and let a close relationship with Him be something that you want this Divali.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji's forgiveness


"To err is human" is one of the earliest quotes I remember. I remember at the time wondering if it wasnt just a phrase that people said to make themselves feel better when they did something wrong. Perhaps it is, perhaps its not. I think that the phrase ultimately means that we as human beings do wrong things sometimes even though we know those things are wrong because they give us an easy way out or they provide pleasure of some form.
Kanhaji is God and the Supreme Being is never wrong. He always does what is right, all the time. He is always there to pick us up when we have fallen, to guide us back on the right paths, to protect us and to care about us and love us always. Kanhaji is the one we love and He loves us very much. He will always love us, this I know for certain.
Kanhaji's heart is so big that He is willing to forgive us when we do something wrong. He helps us to get back onto the right path once more. Kanhaji, thank You for Your divine intervention in our lives.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

Kanhaji shows me a solution

Kanhaji knows all of our problems before we tell Him. However, He loves it when we confide in Him. That's what I do all the time. He is really my saviour because if He weren't here then I dont know who I would talk to and who I would pour out the deepest desires of my heart to.

Monday, November 1, 2010

Kanhaji thank You for helping me


Kanhaji helps us in little ways every single day of our lives. Sometimes He helps us in big ways when we ask Him to and we can actually feel His divine presence around us. Other times, his actions are a little more subtle and only when we sit and think about it do we realize that Kanhaji was the one behind it all. Kanhaji loves us all very much and we should remember that no matter what happens in our lives - its because He loves us and wants to take care of us forever. He will always do that and He will always be our friend.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Saturday, October 30, 2010

Kanhaji takes care of me

Now this may sound self-centred but the most important person you shuold take care of is yourself. You should take care of you and try to be the best you can be - take care of those around you as well because sometimes people are too busy with their everyday lives to really stop and see how things are affecting them negatively. The stress, the run around, the whole thing about daily living is that we must set aside some time for ourselves and for Kanha. We need to remember that He is the most important person in our lives and He will remind us that we are also very important and that we can only worship Him fully if we are fit and fine and hale and hearty. Therefore, we need to take care of ourselves and always follow His divine instructions.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji works in mysterious ways

I sometimes cant understand the way that Kanhaji works and what really is in His master plan. I love Him very much and I will always trust Him to do what is right but sometimes I do wonder why He chose that particular lesson to teach me at that particular time. I know that Kanhaji knows how much I love Him and sometimes He tries to show me that there are different ways to show love to Him and that I should remember to also show love to the people around me who I care about - my family members, my friends, my acquaintances.
Kanhaji, thank You for Your love and for the work that You have done in my life.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Thursday, October 28, 2010

Kanhaji - my friend

Friends are people we turn to with our every thought. That's how I feel about Kanhaji. Friends are people who comfort us when we are hurting, help us celebrate when we are happy, support us when we need it and that's truly how I feel about Kanhaji. Friends are the family members you would choose if you had the opportunity to choose who your family was. Kanhaji sent us friends to help us here on earth and He sent Himself to be our best friend of all. Thank You Kanhaji for being our friend and for taking care of us always. Thank You for listening in a true friendly manner. Thank You for granting our wishes and for making us feel better about ourselves.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji tells me when I need to rest

A lot of us get carried away with our everyday lives and sometimes we work ourselves sick - to the point of absolute exhaustion when we know that we cant do any more. We should try to listen to Kanhaji's cues in our lives which tell us when we need to slow down and rest. He is always listening to us and always taking care of our needs but we need to listen to Him when He gives us advice that we know deep down, is good for us.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Kanhaji gives me subtle hints

Sometimes we have our minds made up on something that we want to happen and it doesnt happen. That's okay. Kanhaji has a greater plan for us - He will take care of us and show us that the plan we had for ourselves pales in comparison to the one He wants us to experience. I believe that is true - Kanhaji is the one I can always trust and always count on. He loves me and I love Him - now and always.

Monday, October 25, 2010

Kanhaji is the one I need

Kanhaji is the One we need in our lives. He is Supreme and He will always stand by us no matter what happens. Kanhaji will remind us how to act in subtle ways - He will take care of us and love us and keep us safe. This is how He works.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji helps me to recover


Sometimes things happen in life and we all find it hard to come to terms with. This happens to everyone on the face of the earth I believe. I think that we all know that sometimes we may be in denial about certain things because we feel that we did not do all that we could have done to have things work our way. We feel helpless, scared, alone, upset, worried and most of all...regret. However, these feelings are not ones that we should hold on to for long since they have a tendency to impact us negatively. Kanhaji is the one we love, now and always and we should remember Him in times of distress and call on Him to help us to recover from negative feelings. He always takes care of us in every single way.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Saturday, October 23, 2010

Kanhaji, every day is a learning experience. Thank You!

Every day in our lives is a learning experience - we learn so many things as the day goes on that sometimes we don't even realize but later we say 'oh I once saw it done this way' or 'my (insert relative title) told me that this happened' and you file the information away for the future without evern realizing it until something comes up to remind you about it and - there it is!
Kanhaji, I know that all of this is due to You and only You - You take such good care of us every single day and You make sure that we are fine. Thank You for healing my hand. It certainly feels better but I do believe that some more rest is just what I need. Thank You for that also Kanhaji, thank You for making sure that I am functioning properly. Kanhaji, thank You for the little blessings. Thank You for being there for me. Please continue to guide me to complete the tasks that I've started. In Your holy name I pray - Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji guides my days

Days can be planned to the tightest schedule by us but Kanhaji often intervenes to show us what our real day should look like - planning schemes in terms of what He thinks that we should accomplish, what He thinks we shouldn't, how much He wants us to take on and how much He wants us to let go. All of these things are planned by Him alone.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji calms me down

Sometimes I feel fretful and fearful about certain things in my life. When I take the time to pray and ask Kanhaji for His help, He always provides a solution. Something I know I will be happy with because its something He has chosen for me. Kanhaji shows me how I can accomplish what I previously felt was impossible. He is truly my source of strength. Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji's wisdom

Kanhaji always grants me the wisdom to see things from different angles and to understand how to approach a situation.

Kanhaji's strength

Is something I know I can always rely on.

Kanhaji opens my eyes


Sometimes we dont want to admit that certain things are happening in our lives - that certain changes are taking place, more quickly than we would have liked. Kanhaji guides us when things get to be too much for us. He helps us to face the reality in time to stop our complete downfall. Kanhaji is the one we must always trust. Kanhaji is the one I love - now and always.
I know how hard I have to work to achieve certain things - everything in life worth getting requires hard work! I know how hard Kanhaji wants me to work and how much He is supporting me. He is the one I can always turn to when things get difficult and He will always guide me out of the difficulty into the light away from the darkness. Kanhaji is the one I trust - now and always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji shows me love


Love is all around us. We just dont see it all the time because we may be rushing to and from activities, we may not want to see it because we have just come out of a bad relationship and think that no one else deserves to be in love because we cant be in love. Love is all around us and its up to us to choose to fall in love. I say it like this because I have always found that there is only one flaw with the way that human beings feel emotions - and its also a strength actually - we find it so much easier to accept new love than to sever old love. Think about how happy we are when new people join our families - births, marriages, adoptions, friendships. We are always happy to accommodate new people in our midst. But, when anything bad happens and we have to sever ties with people - it hurts, even if the person wasn't directly related to us - we feel the loss of separation through divorce, friendships gone sour, loved ones gone on to the great beyond. We hurt, we cry, we feel depressed, and sad and upset and worried. But, we get over it eventually, in some way, yes, we do. Still, some semblance of the pain always remains.
I know that many of the great religions of the world preach the idea of forgiving and forgetting. The forgiving part is hard but its not as difficult as the forgetting. Forgetting is very difficult.
Kanhaji has helped me to learn to forgive many people for wrong things they've done to me. He has taught me to forgive myself for doing wrong things to others and to myself. He has taught me that sometimes forgetting is something you have to work at - you have to work on forgetting the pain that was caused, on forgetting the mistakes that you made because only then can you move on.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Kanhaji teaches me life's lessons


Sometimes we get sick - not very badly ill but sick enough so that we start putting things in perspective - how we live our lives, how we treat the people we love, how we treat strangers, how we treat God, how we treat food and blessings and work. Getting a mild illness makes us feel weak, miserable, sad, unable to help ourselves, like we should be pampered. But, I think what getting this illness has done for me the most is its made me realize that the most important things arent about partying, having fun 24/7 or working all the time either. Life is about balance and sometimes your body gets sick to wake up your mind to the idea that you should rest a little - give your body some time to collect itself, to recuperate, to be whole again.
Kanhaji, thank You for being with me throughout the worst of this. It really was very bad sometimes and You stood by me right through. I think I need to rest some more but I'll see how I feel tomorrow and then I'll know if I can do the things I planned.
Thank You for helping me to feel better today.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Kanhaji makes difficult decisions easy


Kanhaji is always with me and He has the ability to make even the most difficult decisions easy. He has taught me to trust my instincts and only now have I realized that the instincts that I've been trusting really are His words impressed on my mind to help me. Kanhaji, thank You for being with me always. Thank You for helping me to learn life's lessons - the simple and the difficult. Thank You for guiding me to do the right thing always and thank You for helping me to be the person I am today.
Kanhaji, please help those around me who are not understanding that they need to trust You more. Who dont understand that it's important to be good to the people who care about us as people instead of taking them for granted. Kanhaji, thank You for Your love which I am not always able to understand at the moment but later, most of the time, I do recognize Your divine presence all around me - all the time, every single day. Thank You for filling me with a sense of self-preservation so that I can do things that make me happy and not make things difficult for me.
Thank You for helping me to see that a certain sense of self is important because sometimes total selflessness breeds resentment which only leads to negativity in the long run and none of that is good.
Please take care of those I love and care about now and always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji ka Shakti


Shakti equals power. Today I felt really ill for a large portion of the day. In fact, I'm still feeling slightly ill but Kanhaji's power has made me feel better so that I dont have to sit around feeling sorry for myself. It also helps that I have thus far been able to keep the Nowratan fast. This is perhaps one of the most important fasting periods for a Hindu - this is something I know with certainty because as a child growing up in school - they would remind us continuously about this Nowratan fast and about the importance of it to the three female deities being worshipped at this time - Durga Mataa, Saraswati Maa, Lakshmi Maiyya.
Kanhaji, thank You for sending powerful women in this world and for allowing me to become one of them. I truly believe that I have the potential to be a very powerful woman, but not one who wields power loudly, one who does so with Your strength and guidance - in a circumspect manner.
Someone looking at this blog might say that I chose an incorrect picture to demonstrate Shakti but the reality is that Shakti is demonstrated here in the choice You made to let Yashoda Maa capture You and tie You as she wanted. You showed the power to love, which, after all, is the greatest power of them all!
Jai Shri Krishna!

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Kanhaji, thank You for Your strength


Kanhaji,
Thank You for being there for me when I feel overwhelmed and when I feel like I cant function anymore. Thank You for Your love and Your protection. Please take care of everyone I love and care about and please let me be able to always recognize Your strength and to take care of those around me who are weaker than I am. Kanhaji, thank You for making me who I am and thank You for helping me to become a better person over the years.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, I don't want to be sick


I feel like I'm getting ill and I don't want that to happen since I have so much work to do. Kanhaji, I just feel so sleepy all the time and I dont want to be ill. I know that someone else that I care about is sick now. Please be with that person Kanhaji. Please let your healing power be showered on that person and make that person well again. Even though they dont know it, I am praying for them. Please let things be okay.
In Your holy name I ask for the strength and guidance that I need to move from a state of almost total lethargy to one where I can be more productive. Thank You for staying with me now and always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji - mithai

Today I had many sweet treats - especially chocolate treats. I think I was in a sweet mood. However, I felt slightly guilty after because now I know that I need to cut down for the rest of the week if I dont want to gain weight.
I've been gaining a little recently and I really dont want it to persist. Anyhow, I digress because I have forgotten that I want to say that Kanhaji sometimes want to remind us to enjoy life to the fullest - to live, to laugh, to love.

Kanhaji - khushi

Kanhaji - dosti

Kanhaji - pyaar

Kanhaji loves me

Kanhaji loves me so much He always takes care of me. This is a love that I cannot feel enough of and I love that I want to experience always. I am sure that I will because Kanhaji is great and He is the one who takes care of us all.

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

Kanhaji ka pyaar


Kanhaji's love is all around us - every day and in every possible way. I realize now just how many blessings Kanhaji has given to me. He has given me His protection, His guidance, His love, renewed self-confidence, renewed faith in Him which is something I am most thankful for. Without Kanhaji in my life I know that things would have been significantly different and Kanhaji I thank You for coming into my life in the out-of-the-blue way that You did.
Kanhaji, thank You for all the gifts and talents You have given to me in this life - my intellect, my personality, my love. I know how much love exists within me and I know that You put it in there so that I can truly touch the lives of even the most difficult persons.
Kanhaji, please protect everyone dear to me and everyone reading this blog. You know how easy it is to find friends and allies in the most unexpected of places. Kanhaji, thank You for that.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, You always send Yourself to me


Kanhaji, many times in life I didnt realize that You were around me in different ways. This time I actually did realize that You sent Yourself to me - You watched over me, You protected me and You cared about me. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for doing that. I have never felt more sure that You are working all around me than I do now. Little things have changed so much in my life - its hard to explain to other people how protected I feel at all times.
Thank You for that Kanhaji and thank You for being in my life. Please help me to show others how important You are to us all.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, I want You near me



Kanhaji,
I want You near me all the time. I want You with me all the time. Sometimes I have to do scary things and I need You with me, sometimes I experience happy things and I want to tell You about it. Sometimes I need to talk to You because I love You. Thank You for Your presence in my life. Thank You for helping me to realize that I can talk to You and worship You whenever I want, wherever I want and I dont have to be afraid to do so.
Kanhaji, please help me to help others to realize how great Your power is in our lives. How amazing it is to feel like You are there all the time. Kanhaji, please help me to be a good person, someone that others can depend on, someone they can look to for guidance, love, hope, protection. Kanhaji, help me to be a good person and a kind person. Help me to find someone like You to spend the rest of my life with. Kanhaji, I have stopped worrying too much about these things because I know that in the end only the person You have chosen for me is the one I will be with, and it will only happen at the time You have chosen.
Kanhaji, please protect the people I love and care about and please help everyone reading this to realize that all it takes to be accepted by You is talking to You and worshiping You.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji helps me to deal


In general there are times in our lives when we need a little bit of help dealing with the situation. At those times, Kanhaji is there to provide His support and love to us. He is the one who is always with us - now and forever. He will always take care of us and always love us. This I know with absolute certainty because He does it for me all the time. He always finds some way to cheer me up when I'm down and a little bit sad about something. He helps me to find a way to forget the sorrow and to move on to better things in life.
Kanhaji helps me to realize that when things dont go the way I planned - there's a reason for that. Kanhaji gives me challenges that I have to face in order to become a better, stronger person and someone who recognizes what core values are and stands by them. For sure I face temptations to do what is popular and follow the crowd but Kanhaji always sends me little reminders - in the form of words of wisdom in emails from some religious organization, in the form of kind and very comforting words from a friend, in the form of His divine presence that shines in my life all the time.
I can always turn to Him and that is something I would never trade for all the gold and diamonds in the world.
I hope that you all feel the same way about Him.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, I know that I need to trust You more


Kanhaji I dont know why I've been so restless lately. Its almost like I cant relax and definitely like I cant concentrate properly. I'm hoping that some time off from the real world and the realities that come with it - in the form of a mini-vacation will help me significantly.
Kanhaji, I'm sorry that I haven't been placing my full trust in You. I dont know why I keep thinking about a million and one possibilities and keep forgetting to count my awesome blessings that You have given to me.
Just now I was watching some old pictures of me and I have changed so very much now - I can hardly believe it! Thank You for the amazing changes You brought to me and thank You for Your love and protection always - even when I am not fully doing my duties.
Kanhaji, please grant me the strength I need to move on in my life and to be able to combine working hard and playing hard.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Monday, September 27, 2010

Kanhaji, thank You for strength

Kanhaji, I can feel Your strength and power running through me today. Thank You for that. Thank You for Your divine presence in my life - today and every day. Thank You for my family members - immediate and extended, thank You for my friends. Thank You for granting me Your grace and acceptance and power. Thank You for transforming my life. Jai Shri Krishna!

Sunday, September 26, 2010

Kanhaji, You take care of me

Sometimes I need a little help to fulfill the vows I've taken. I may also need help to understand what You want for me and from me Kanha. I love You and I want You to be with me always. Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji,You are the only one I trust


One day I suddenly realized that I was trusting the wrong people in my life. I was expecting other people to make me feel happy and to do the best for me. But the truth is, Kanhaji, You are the only one I should really trust. I know that inside of me. I know that You are the only one who really has all my best interests at heart. Sometimes I see the whole world shift just so that something happens in my favour - and so I know that when the disappointments come, it is just your way of saying - "it's okay, I did this because its the best thing for you, maybe you cant see it now but it is, trust me," and so I do.
In the past there are many things that would have upset me but now I try to take everything in easy stride so that You Kanhaji is the only one I really pour my heart out to.
Thank You for Your love,
Jai Shri Krishna!

Friday, September 24, 2010

Kanhaji, I need You...always


I know that's true. I need You around me always in everything that I do. Kanhaji, thank You for always being with me and for always showering Your divine blessings on me. Thank You for giving me little signs and little indications that I should try to uphold the correct path at all times and not falter.
Kanhaji, thank You for Your divine love, guidance and protection always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji always helps me to heal

Kanhaji sometime during the day I realized that I don't care about hurtful things anymore and I realized that you have truly helped me to heal. You always do without fail. Thank You for that Kanha!

Wednesday, September 22, 2010

Kanhaji, You always help me to maintain control


I know that many people the world over testify to the power of meditation and I know that it's true. Meditating takes your mind off the bad and brings you to the good. Kanhaji, I know for sure that talking to You and interacting with You throughout the day is a good thing for me because at times when I need Your training, Your teaching, Your power the most, it works out. You are always with me - every day in every way and I am not afraid to show You my thoughts, my actions, my words, my deeds. I want to be able to feed You soon. I heard that murtis are accepting milk all over and I want to be able to feed You with my own two hands. Kanha, will You accept my offering?
Kanhaji, I want to thank You for helping me to make decisions borne out of control and thought rather than those borne out of haste and negative behaviour. Many times I have seen that You have punished those who do wrong and rewarded those who do right. I dont want to be a wrongdoer Kanhaji and so I ask You now to please help me to keep on the right path always and not stray away from it and commit any sins.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

Kanhaji, I trust that You will take care of everything


Kanhaji, I dont know how I know - okay I do, I know because You have instilled this deep confidence and faith in my heart. You have made me realize how much You love me and care about me. You have made me see that there's no sense in worrying because You will always be there to take care of me - to guide me, to love me.
Sometimes I wonder why I used to be so worried in the past because now I know that nothing in this world ever happens against Your will. You control everything - good and bad - our reactions to certain situations and our behaviours in life.
Kanhaji, thank You for being in control, thank You for taking care of everything. I just want to continue to pray to You and know that You will make everything fine.

Monday, September 20, 2010

Kanhaji, I need Your guidance


I'm reading this famous book right now - Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and its amazing. It really brings together the things and questions that people have and are sometimes afraid to ask, sometimes afraid to admit that they want to ask.
Kanhaji, today in the part I read she was talking about how people who have suffered really great traumas, at the end boil down to considering things like love, and control - only. Those are the two major issues for persons who have suffered even the most dire stresses in their lives.
When I think about most of the movies I've seen or tv shows or even the lives of my friends and relatives and my own self, I realize that these really are the major things we agonize over.
Kanhaji, I do feel somewhat ashamed to have to write here to ask for Your guidance and advice and protection in a love-related matter. Matters of the heart are never cut and dry but I feel like this one is ten times harder than most. I need Your love and protection to help me to deal with this so that I handle things in a manner that will cause me and all those involved, the minimum amount of pain and perhaps bring about some happiness.
The picture I've included is one of Radharani and Kanhaji in a relaxed but intimate pose. Not intimate in a dirty sense, rather intimate in a comfortable sense. The way that He's holding her - no one can think that its a purely platonic relationship and He is being so protective of her as well.
Kanhaji, thank You for showing me what it means when a guy loves a girl - how He should treat her, how we women should be expected to be treated.
Thank You and please help me to have that so that I can have a long term loving relationship that is filled with happiness.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, many people dont understand You


Kanhaji, there are so many people in the world today who don't understand You at all - they don't understand Your relationships while You lived on earth, they don't understand that You wanted us all to get along and to love each other, not create differences among ourselves and fight and worry and fret about whose religion is better.
Kanhaji, many people don't understand that You had to take care of us by showing us how to enjoy life - 'stealing' butter wasn't really stealing because You always gave so much back to the villagers. 'Romancing' the cowherds was a spiritual and magnificent thing that You did because You allowed each of them to feel like she was Your wife. You rewarded them as Your true devotees. I think that people don't understand it and they try to ridicule it because of that.
Kanhaji, I want Your presence with me. I want to be able to depend on You and to know that You are here for me no matter what.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Saturday, September 18, 2010

Kanhaji, please help me to stand by my beliefs

Sometimes its hard to be true to something that you believe in when everyone else around you is ridiculing you for it. I know this is true for me. Sometimes when those close to me are pressuring me about something I begin to feel guilty. I never allow myself to succumb to the peer pressure but I do feel pretty awful about it afterwards. I have to say that Kanhaji's presence in my life is the reason that I am able to continue along the right path even when things aren't going the way I want them to and even when those close to me dont understand me at all.
Sometimes standing by those beliefs is hard because it makes you feel lonely and may make others think that you arent as 'fun' or 'perfect' as they though you to be. But it doesn't matter because at the end of the day what I think is the most important thing is the way Kanhaji sees us.
Kanhaji, thank You for giving me this knowledge - that no matter what happens You are the only one I really have to please and You will take care of me no matter what.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji ki leela


Again I have to write about the best made plans of men (and women!) being shot to nothing in the face of Kanhaji's divine power and love. Everything that happens in life happens for a reason and higher purpose. I know I've said this many times before but more and more I am truly realizing how much Kanhaji has given to us and just how much He will continue to give to us.
No one can understand Your leela Kanhaji, because we are mere mortals and You are the supreme - the One who will take care of us always. Thank You for Your love and please help us to make decisions that are in accordance with Your plan so that our lives may be filled with You.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji ka pyaar, ashirvad


Some days I just feel Kanhaji's power in my life more than others. Kanhaji is always with me, always taking care of me and always loving me. He is the one I can always depend on and He will always be with me. I know this for certain. It doesn't matter what I want in life and what I feel I should have - at the end of the day He is the only one who will decide what will happen in my life and I will just go along with His plan. His divine intervention is exactly what I need all the time.
This I am completely certain of because He intervenes whenever I think that I have backed myself into a corner and sometimes He lets me face the music, because He knows that I will be stronger for it at the end of the day. Kanhaji is the one I love now and will always love for the rest of my life. I know that is true because a love this powerful, a bond this powerful and all arresting and all enveloping cannot be broken.
Kanhaji, thank You for making me your bhakti and I pray for others who have not found You yet, in whatever form that is most suitable to them. Kanhaji, please continue to bless the ones that I hold dear and please help us to be good, kind, and loving people always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji lets me have certain things


Sometimes I feel that maybe I'm being too arrogant about certain things or that my personality has changed in a way that recently allows me to say things that I never would have before.
I think that the change is a positive one and I have to thank Kanhaji for allowing this change to happen in my life because I no longer feel like I have to hide my thoughts from him - all my thoughts, good and bad, I know that they are shared with Him because He is everywhere and He is with me all the time. If He doesn't know my innermost thoughts then that means that He doesnt really know me and that is the furthest thing from the truth.
Kanhaji knows me better than anyone else. I truly believe that because He always gives me what is right for me at the right time. He shows me how special I am when I'm feeling down and upset, He shows me how intelligent I am when I feel like I cant figure something out and He helps me to do my job in a proper manner.
Kanhaji even shows me why certain people should be in my life and why others shouldn't. Whenever I feel myself falling into a trap where I start wondering why certain things happened one way and not another - I remember Kanhaji's divine strength and pull through. I talk to Him and I make a promise to Him - that I will love Him all the days of my life, right till the end.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, You show me new reasons to smile


Kanhaji, thank You for giving me new reasons to smile and be happy every day. Thank You for putting joy, peace and happiness in my life. Thank You for Your love and protection every single day. Kanhaji, please continue to stay with me because I have realized a long time ago that I cant achieve anything properly without You. I need You and I want You to be with me always.
There's a nice saying that I heard recently - You shouldn't have to make time for God because He is always with You. That's how I feel Kanhaji, whenever I want to turn to You to tell You something, I truly do believe that You already know what I want to say and that You will make things work out for me in the long run.
Kanhaji, please take care of everyone I love and care about - even if only for a little while, all the people I once cared about and still do care about are important to me. Even if they unknowingly hurt me, please take care of them and keep them safe. I know that there are many good people in the world out there. Kanha, please shower Your blessings on them and keep them safe, happy and healthy and please help them to find Your love.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, I want things to work


Kanhaji, there are certain things going on in my life right now that I want to work out. Can you please help me? I know that You know what they are and I know that You know what is in the hearts of everyone reading this blog as well. Please help us all to either realize what we want or to understand why its not right for us.
Sometimes I compare my life to that of others around me and I just feel so unaccomplished. I know its not true and they may say the same when they look at my life because we are accomplished at different things and in different ways. But, Kanhaji sometimes I just wish that I could find what I was looking for, for years on end...Happiness.
I know that most of the time I am happy, but I mean completely happy, unconditionally. Like the happiness described in films and books.
Kanhaji, I know You will think that I am being ungrateful and unrealistic since You have given me so very much in life and today I havent even thanked you once, I've only gripe about wanting more.
Kanhaji, please forgive me for doing this and I do want to thank You for being the strength in my life and for giving me peace and happiness. Thank You for showing me that things can go right even when some things are going wrong.
Please help me to be more devout in the future.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji always opens new doors


When one door closes in your life - Kanhaji always opens another one, or another few! I found this happening to me recently and I just wanted to tell people not to despair when they think that things are going badly in their lives and the doors have closed on them. Kanhaji will always provide a solution - something that will suit us better than what we were longing for.
Kanhaji is all-knowing and all-seeing and He sees problems that may have occurred in our lives long in advance of us thinking of them even. He is the only one who knows what is truly best for us in the long run. He wants us to be happy and so He will take us along the path that will make us happy.
I truly believe that every experience in life makes you learn something - even if its something cynical like 'never trust people' and I still think I haven't reached that stage. Instead my motto is more like 'be cautious of who you trust' because you eventually have to trust some people and so the thing to do is to pray to Kanhaji and ask that He guide you so that your trust will be put only in the right person.
Kanhaji, I want to thank You for closing the doors that weren't right for me and for opening the ones that will lead me to my ultimate destination - with You by my side.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji protects me...always


When we hear the word 'protection' or even 'protect' we automatically think 'from harm'. But the truth is a lot of the time the protection that Kanhaji has to do for us, comes from ourselves. Kanhaji protects us from harming ourselves a lot of the time and I'm not talking about physical harm strictly, though this does happen and Kanhaji does help those people as well. I'm talking specifically about emotional harm and turmoil.
Sometimes when something bad happens in our lives we tend to harp on it - rethink the situation, what we could have done differently, what we should have said or did or not said or not did, how we should have behaved, who we should have spoken to. All of these things affect us. Harping affects us negatively because it erodes on our self esteem when we start to think of all the wrongs that we did (well, we usually perceive it as wrongs that we did even if this may not be true).
Kanhaji reminds us that other things in our lives are great - and that these thing are also attributable to us - happy things happening around us help us and make us feel better. Kanhaji may send a story, a poem, a friend to us to help us talk things through and realize that what happened really was for the best. In dire situations Kanhaji will send us professional help - in the form of a counsellor or someone skilled in a particular area.
I know that whatever happens in my life - good or bad - Kanhaji will always be there for me. He will always guide me and always protect me. Kanhaji loves me and I know that will not change, no matter what else happens in my life now and in the future. This is the one thing I can be sure of.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji helps me to get over things


When something bad happens in your life - something hurtful, something difficult to deal with, you feel sad and upset and lonely even. But, prayer to Kanahji really works. He is the only one who can take care of everything in our lives - good and bad. He sends the good things to us and He takes away most of the bad, but there are some things in there that we have to experience because it will teach us how to be better people in the long run. It will help us to be stronger. It will take us to further realization of how much Kanhaji helps us and takes care of us - every day in our lives, in every way.
Something bad happened to me a few weeks ago and over time I was trying to convince myself that it really happened for the best, or, that something would happen to change the situation. But, today I found out something that made me realize that even if the situation doesn't change, even if I never realize what I wanted at that time, its okay, because Kanhaji has a plan for me and His plan is always great. If He wants this thing to work for me, it will. And if He doesnt, then He will let something else work out in my life.
Kanhaji, thank You once more helping me to get over the bad things and to focus on the good in my life. Thank You for Your love and Your divine intervention in my life.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji sends friends


Kanhaji, thank You for sending good friends to me. Today I once again was able to realize how important good friends are in our lives. Good friends take care of us when we are hurt and upset and they help us get out of our low moods. They boost our self esteems so that we truly believe that only good things can happen to us in the future - regardless of whatever bad things we experienced before.
Kanhaji, I know that You knew the importance of friends. You always showed that in the way You treated Your friends with respect and honour, even the Mahabharata battle was fought with You as Your dearest friend's charioteer! You, Kanhaji, did that to be able to support Your friend.
I thank You Kanhaji for sending me such great friends. I hope that I can be a good friend to them too.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, thank You for restoring my confidence



Kanhaji, You restored my confidence to the highest level and now its so high that I'm thinking that I can do anything I want to do and be anything I want to be. Thank You for doing that for me Kanhaji because a year ago, maybe even a few months ago, I know I would not have been thinking the same way. It's all Your doing and I have to thank You for that.
Kanhaji, please continue to help me to have a high confidence level and please show me the way to be able to balance the high confidence with a good approach to treating others in a respectful manner.
Kanhaji, please help everyone reading this blog be able to believe in themselves and achieve a high level of confidence and success in their lives with You by their sides.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji gives me challenges and moments of bliss


Sometimes in life things just work out perfectly. Most times they dont. When they dont we like to stop and analyze the situations agonizing for hours, days, weeks about what happened, why it happened, why not etc. This kind of behaviour is less than ideal. I know it because I myself practice it sometimes.
If we truly accept Kanhaji then we will truly accept everything that He gives us in life - all the challenges, all the disappointements, all the tears as well as all the happiness, all the joy, all the love that we experience every day in the tiniest ways.
Kanhaji is the one that we should look to at all times in our lives and I always feel His divine presence with me - all the time, every day.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, thank You for giving me strength


The one thing I needed the most today was strength. Kanhaji gave it to me and I was able to pull through and feel better about myself and project an aura of confidence and happiness. I was also able to resist temptation to do something really silly.
Kanhaji always is with me and He always takes care of my needs and today more than ever, I saw that happen.
Kanhaji, I have to thank You again for helping me, taking care of me, loving me.
I feel really proud of myself because it was so hard to do this - to be strong - many times I just wanted to cry, almost said the wrong thing, almost did the wrong thing. But in the end, I used the support system Kanhaji gave me - my friends, Himself, and it helped so much. My day was a good one. Tiring, but good.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, my faith in You is the most important thing to me


I truly believe that You guide me to do the right thing Kanhaji. I truly believe that You will always show me the right way regardless of the situation. I guess that now I cant see why I did the right thing by saying that stuff but maybe in a few days or months or years I will know.
Kanhaji, I need Your guidance and I just need to know that You are with me in happy times and difficult times. I want to be able to feel Your presence always.
Thank You for loving me and being with me and caring about me. Thank You for allowing me to be exposed to Your divine presence and strength.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji, please help me be strong


Kanha, today is one of those days where I feel like nothing is going my way. I have wasted a lot of time when I should be working hard. Kanha, I need Your help and I need to know that You are with me always. I know that already but I just wanted to say it again. Kanha, I need Your help to be strong. Please help me and please help everyone reading this blog to be strong and have faith in You and Your power. Kanha, I love You and I am putting all of my trust and faith in You. I want to be cleansed of any bad feelings that I have towards persons who may have hurt me knowingly or unknowingly. Kanha, please help me to forgive them. I know that truly it isnt their fault. Kanha, please help me to trust that You will make my life right in the end and that things will be okay. I dont want to have to compare my life to others and be jealous or anything. Kanha, please help me to do what is right and to find my way in the world.
I know that You will guide me and help me through.
One of the most important things I have felt about finding faith in Kanhaji is that when I feel weak I can just tell Him that I want Him to help me, to take care of me, to help me to do the right things instead of the wrong. Kanhaji always listens and He always takes charge of the situation.
Kanhaji, I trust You completely. Please take charge of me and everything in my life.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji gives me what I need


Sometimes I feel that things in my life are not happening on time - not the way I want them to or when I want them to. And then something changes in the future and I realize that the timing was exactly right. Kanhaji always does that - He gives us exactly what we need when we need it and even if we can't always see it easily - He is always giving us these things at exactly the right time for us.
I look around at my friends and I see some people unhappy with their lives - others are happy with their lives. And I realize that those who are happy have accepted the way that things are and have tried to make the best of it - they have allowed themselves to be happy in spite of disappointments and trials and pain and fears.
This is because they trust in Kanhaji and I have to say that I hope that one day I will be able to fully trust everything that He does for me because sometimes I find myself still wondering about alternate endings to certain points in my life.
Kanhaji, thank You for always sending me the right things at the right times.
I felt that the picture with Kanhaji offering us laddoos was the most appropriate because it shows that He is giving us His blessings all the time - even if we dont recognize it!
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji ki Janmashtami



Our birthdays are all supremely important to us all - they mark the day we came into this world and they mark another year that we have lived on this earth. They help us to reflect and look at what we have accomplished in the last year in our lives - family wise, career wise, educationally, socially, physically, mentally, and most importantly...spiritually.
I know that when it was my birthday a few days ago I took the time to think about all that Kanhaji has done for me over the last year - changes in my education, my career, my family - new members welcomed and some gone forever, changes in my friendships - good and bad, changes in my other social relationships - again some good and some bad, changes in my physical appearance, changes in the way that I approach life. I now rely more on Kanhaji and have come to accept His decisions in my life.
I have began to believe in the phrase 'everything happens for a reason'. Its true, every single person sent into our lives by Kanhaji has been sent there for a particular reason.
I have realized that recently.
I have also been able to understand that as I get older I should be happy to have the opportunity to mature and live my life continuously - unlike so many who die before they have the chance to achieve certain things in their lives. I thanked Kanhaji for giving me this very life that I live and for being such a strong presence in my life now.
Today we celebrated Krishna Janmashtami which marks the anniversary of Kanhaji's earthly birth to Devki and Vasudev and the night he travelled to Yashoda to become her son.
The story of Kanhaji's birth is so miraculous that I always marvel at the sequence of events. I always imagine what happened first and how the parents reacted - both sets. How the guards would have felt, how Kans would have felt, how Kanhaji would have felt to have to come to earth as a helpless baby to face all that we have to face here.
I think that Kanhaji has given us a pretty good life but I also acknowledge that it is up to us to make our lives good, but, we can only do this with His help.
Kanhaji, thank You for coming and taking care of the evil that we faced at that time. Please help each of us to find Your strength inside us so that we can deal with the personal evils that we face everyday as we continue to live our lives to the fullest and to be the best people we can be with You by our side.
Jai Shri Krishna!
