Change

We are sometimes afraid of changes in our lives because we have become comfortable with the way that things are. However, change is not a bad thing and it is not something to be feared, instead, we must cope with change. We must try to find a way to deal with changes that may be unpleasant to us sometimes. We must find a way to embrace change and to make the best out of our situations. Kanha went through many changes in His life and His ability to deal with every situation should inspire us and create confidence in us that He can take care of everything and if we ask for Him to stay by our sides then we too can deal with even the most challenging changes occurring in our lives. Kanha was born to Devaki and then His father Vasudev took Him to Yashoda. That was the first major change He endured that many children also endure daily - He was uprooted from His birth parents. When He was growing up many times evil came to try to destroy Him and He defeated the evil beings over and over again. Eventually His friends began to see Him in a different light - that was another change He dealt with. When He was a teenager He left His parents to go to His birth parents - yet another change. At that point He also left behind His one true love - Radha - how difficult that change must have been for Him! He got married when He grew up - change again. He met the Pandavas and befriended them, then He began to impart advice to Arjuna, He changed His role to become Arjuna's charioteer in the battle at Kurukshetra. Kanha's life, like our lives was filled with many changes. He will always take care of us and keep us safe and continue to help us if we ask Him to. His love for us is something that we can feel always and He will help us deal with every change that occurs. Jai Shri Krishna!
