KRISHNA AGAINST INJUSTICE

Lord Krishna (1500 BC) is believed to be God Incarnate by the Hindus in India. Not only was he the most loving God, the melodies of whose flute exuded Love and Peace, and relieved mankind of its sufferings, and whose tears flowed for the sorrows of the world, but he was also chivalrous, valiant and brave and invincible like no human being on earth.

His love for Radhe, his devotee, and beloved, is enshrined in all Temples of India as a Love Divine, symbolising his respect for womankind, God as the Eternal Lover in love with his creation.

The lifting of Mount Goverdhan with his small finger to save an entire town from being ravaged by a storm, was only a small aspect of his divine power with which he had healed hundreds and raised many from the dead.

The revelation of Lord Krishna as the Lord of the Universe is written down in an awesome narration in the Holy Geeta of the Hindus, where Krishna revealed the entire cosmos, all of space and time, all the beings in the world, life and death and indeed all of existence within him, in fact he revealed that he was the beginning and the end.

And yet he said:

"I love those who love each other more than I love those who love me!"

He also said:

"Leaving aside all other paths, seek thou a refuge in me!"

And:

"He who sees me in everyone and everyone in me, is never separate from me, nor I from him!"

He taught that it was a man's prime duty to fight injustice- but to do so without rancor or hatred. Such a war without malice was also a form of love for one's fellow man, to save him from sin.

In the ultimate analysis even the gravest sinner could be forgiven if he sough refuge in the Lord with genuine repentance. But if he did not give up the path of sin and continued to torment others then it was the duty of the righteous to fight for the sake of justice and to vanquish the evil doers.

It was the Voice of Lord Krishna:

"To save the righteous

And to vanquish the evil doers

I come into this world

From Age to Age!"

This is the time when wickedness is spreading like wildfire and no amount of logic or reasoning can set right the warped hearts of men in the thousands and millions.

Rapists and killers of children are abounding not only in India but also in the world.

Maybe it is time for Lord Krishna' golden discus, his Sudharshan Chakra of annihilation for the wicked, to come flying like a blazing sun into the darkness of the hearts of such evil doers and to strike terror therein, so that the evil within them may be destroyed, or else they become too scared to perpetrate more evil in the world.

Women were objects of veneration and sacred to Lord Krishna.

In fact may this Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Krishna strike such terror into the hearts of the evil doers that they become too afraid to even step out of their homes to perpetrate violence and to violate girls and women.

It would be quite a change from the scenario of today where the good and innocent girls are afraid to step out of their homes for fear of these evil rapists rampant everywhere.
