Love is all around us - I know that I am a few days early for this topic since Valentine's day is not until three days. However, this is what I feel today so I have to comment on it. Love is all around us and sometimes the sourest of people react to us in positive and loving ways. Kanhaji always shows us love when we need it, because He knows, and has made things such that love is the one thing that every single person needs vast quantities of. He is always with us, loving us and that we must not forget.
Thank You Kanhaji for Your love. I once heard a non-hindu speak about how much she agreed with hinduism because of its teachings - in particular she cited two aspects of love shown in the Kanha lila - the mother's love and how much Yashoda maa loved Kanha despite Him not being her biological son. And the love of Kanhaji and the gopis and how He always protected them and allowed them to love Him because that was their way of worship. Another person came to my mind, who she probably didnt hear of, or make the connection to - Mirabai. Her bhajans were said to be about her love of Kanhaji and people could not accept them because they felt that they were blasphemous in nature. But, Kanhaji and many explanations of the Kanhalila have always stressed that the way we interpret love is different than the way that Kanhaji interprets it and He allows us to love Him in the ways that are suited to us because He is willing to accept our love in a way that is suitable to us to give it. How remarkable is that? Mirabai's love for Him was not wrong (I have to admit that I have not read many of her bhajans but the gist of what she is feeling is there). Neither is the love of someone who feels like Kanhaji is their son, their brother, their friend, all of these He understands.
Kanhaji, thank You for sending us all this love and please help us to continue to love You and to love others.
Jai Shri Krishna!
