Friendship

Friends are the family members we get to choose. We bond with our friends and become almost like a part of their family. We open up our lives, our hearts, our fears, ambitions, hopes, dreams to them. We ask for their help when we are sad or we need something. We ask for them to share in our joys, our sorrows. We ask them to take care of themselves because we want them to be a part of our lives for a long time to come. We ask Kanhaji to protect them and to take care of them. We ask Him to keep them safe. Kanhaji understood friendship. He had many friends - most notably, Arjuna was Kanhaji's dearest friend. He also had friends in the Gopas and Gopikas. His brother Balarama was also His friend. Kanhaji knows that we love our friends but sometimes He reminds us just how much we need them. Let us all remember, appreciate and pray for our friends today and truly try to make Kanhaji one of our dearest friends. Jai Shri Krishna!
