Kanhaji's patience

Kanhaji is very patient. He knows that we take a long time to learn some lessons and that some of us take a long time to come to Him. However, He waits for us and loves us all the same while we are being impossible and difficult to deal with. Kanhaji teaches us to be patient with others who are having a hard time understanding or dealing with things - they may be younger members of our families or older members. The important thing to remember is to respect whoever you are dealing with. There has been a recent and quite terrible trend to make fun of the older citizens in society. However, the truth is it is an honour to be able to grow old since you are able to see your accomplishments and to reflect on your life.
There is also a trend to make fun of the very young and try to ridicule them when they get upset or get something wrong. This is clearly a wrong action since these children will one day grow up and treat us with disdain when they remember what we did to them. I wonder if this is why some people treat the old with such disrespect.
No matter the reason for these undesireable acts, the important thing to remember is that Kanhaji wants us to behave in a respectful and loving way always. He is always with us taking care of us and guiding us and we need to remember Him in everything we do - even the little things like this.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji keeps us busy


Being busy is not a bad thing. When we are busy then we are able to accomplish things and we feel a sense of self worth. When we have nothing to do after a busy period we tend to feel relaxed and at ease. However, if the period of relaxation lasts too long we begin to get restless and wish once more for something useful to do. Kanhaji understands this and He tries to keep us busy with productive and useful activities.
We should remember Him when we try to find something to do and make sure that it is something that we would be proud to show Him and say "This is what I did today, do You like it?"
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji will help us to let go of the past

I find myself sometimes focusing too much on the past and on regrets and mistakes made. The thing is, no matter how much we think about it - we cannot change the past no matter what we do. Kanhaji has made us live through those things to learn valuable lessons that will help us to be better people in the long run. Kanhaji is the one we should open our hearts to, He will help us let go of past hurts, past embarrassments, past pain, past regret, past sorrow, past love, past accomplishments that make us feel that we can never be that good again or that make us far too pompous and unlikeable to everyone around us. Kanhaji teaches us to forgive those who have hurt us in the past and how to protect ourselves against such future pain from persons who would want to hurt us. Kanhaji teaches us to understand that people who were dear to us and may have hurt us, did not necessarily do so intentionally. He teaches us to understand others by way of us now being put in their positions, or to have enough worldly knowledge to understand their positions at the time.
Kanhaji will help us to deal with the past and He will help us to deal with the future. We just need to ask Him for His divine intervention, help and love always.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji helps us to regain focus


It is easy enough to lose sight of our dreams. To become complacent and feel like we are no longer able to cope with what we want is often the case. However, Kanhaji may allow us to wallow in our uneasiness for a while and He may allow us to slack off as well. But, He never allows this for long. Fruitful and productive behaviour is useful for Kanhaji and He wants us all to engage in productive activities. He will encourage us out of our slackness and into being more motivated when He sees the laziness taking over. I know because He has helped me many times and has even scared me into doing the right thing. Thank You for this Kanhaji and please continue to help me and everyone else reading this blog to deal with temporary lack of motivation. Please remind us of why we chose certain activities to focus on, why we decided to be who we are professionally, academically, emotionally, and most important, spiritually.
I feel like this image is suited to this post since it shows Kanhaji innovating and trying to find a way to please His father even though the slippers are too heavy for Him - He put them on His head to bring them to the man because His father asked this of Him. We should all use this as a motivator and remember that when we really want to achieve something - we will find a way to do so with Kanhaji's help!
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji teaches us when to slow down


Its easy to get caught up in the rush of life - always having to meet deadlines, do certain tasks, be certain places, fulfill duties etc. However sometimes Kanhaji gives us cues to just slow down and relax to maintain our happiness. He helps us to recover from exhaustion and to prevent any possible longer term consequences.
Kanhaji is the one we should trust to help us whenever we need Him and even when we dont realize that we need His intervention, He helps us.
Its amazing to feel loved and protected by Him.
The picture I've included is one of my favourites of Kanhaji because it shows Him watching us even while He's going about His normal baby business. He is always able to see what is hurting us or upsetting us and He helps us. This is what this picture conveys to me - that He is always watching over us, no matter what.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji helps...

Kanhaji helps in so many ways - ways we dont even understand. I never thought that certain things in my life would turn out the way that they have and I have learned to accept the good and the bad with Kanhaji's help. Of course there are things in our lives we want to change, that is the nature of humans - we always want to achieve something else, something better, to be better, to do better. Envy is something that we should try hard to guard against. Envying others leads to destructive behaviour. Instead we should try to find a way to alter our attitudes so that we can become happier.
Kanhaji loves us and if we ask Him for His help, I am sure that He will take care of everything.
Jai Shri Krishna!

Kanhaji finds a way to get through to us when nothing else works

Sometimes we have to take drastic measures against things. Kanhaji finds a way to get through to difficult people - ways that we would not have thought of to help. He always takes care of us and keeps us safe and He does it knowing that we may not love Him back. Its scary to think of a life without Kanhaji to turn to. He makes everything perfectly fine.
Sometimes a little boost is all we need to be able to settle down and do the right thing. Kanhaji helped me today and I am grateful to Him for that. The need to be a better person will win over the need to do something that is risky and thrilling.
Thank You for Your love Kanhaji,
Jai Shri Krishna!
