Kanhaji's discourse on worship

In the Srimad Bhagavad Gita Kanhaji says "yanti deva-vrata devan
pitrn yanti pitr-vratah
bhutani yanti bhutejya
yanti mad-yajino ’pi mam"

"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; and those who worship Me will live with Me."

Kanhaji is clearly stating what we must do if we want to live with Him - we must worship Him wholeheartedly - mind, body, soul and believe that He will truly take care of us in all ways, all the time. Kanhaji loves us very much and He will always take care of us but our worship to Him is also important. I try to keep fasts at least once a week and while I'm keeping the fast I remind myself that even if temptations come in the way, that fasting was intended to be something that reminds us of giving up for Kanhaji. Of sacrificing something to become closer to Him. When I do this, my will to fast becomes very strong and people cannot interfere with it, even if they wish to do so.
Worship does not only mean fasting though - worship means making sure that Kanhaji is on our minds and that we remember Him in everything that we do. Kanhaji is the one we must always trust and always care about, in every way, every day.

I've included two pictures in this blog post - the first one shows the women of Vrindavan, including Yashoda Maiyya bathing a baby Kanhaji. This is another way in which He allowed His devotees to worship Him - by serving Him and taking care of Him when He came as a baby.
The second picture shows Radharani and the Gopis worshiping Kanhaji and looking at Him with love and devotion in their eyes. They loved Him very much and when we love someone we do tend to put them on a pedestal but Kanhaji understood that their love for Him was because they subconsciously recognized that He was the Supreme.
There are many ways that we can worship Him and we must figure out what manner of worship suits us and Him best. Jai Shri Krishna!
