Krishna Temple Talks

(Verse 1) Yo, a fire sacrifice, ghee flowing free, Agni consumed it all, for all eyes to see. But too much buttery offerings, an overload, Left the fire god aching, in a heavy, bloated mode. Indigestion fierce, his brilliance declined, Only one curative came to his mind.

Krishna had all that and more planned for us since the beginning of time. He had the steppingstones all lined up before we were born.

(Verse 2) Karna looks at Krishna, wisdom in his gaze, “You know everything, through all of time’s maze. The destruction is coming, I see it so plain, With Duryodhana, Shakuni, fueling the pain. Dushasana beside them, their wicked intent, And I, caught in the middle, on ruin I’m bent. I dreamt of the Pandavas, victorious […] The post Song; Karna & Krishna Final Part appeared first on Radha Krishna...

(Chorus) Wrong friendship’s a prison, with walls strong and high, Blinding your vision, beneath a false sky. Like Karna and Duryodhana, a bond built on pride, Ignoring the wisdom that truth can provide. Krishna’s own counsel, a lifeline so clear, But loyalty’s chains held him captive in fear.

Yo, Hare Krishna. Story ’bout a saint, pure and true. Haridas Thakur, name you should know, Chanting Hare Krishna, watch his devotion grow.

KRISHNA loves to choose the underdog, the least likely, the ones others write off. It’s so important that you don’t let how other people treat you determine your value.

THEY may say things that […] The post Krishna’s Underdog appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah .

(Chorus) That death bell’s ringin’, a constant reminder, We’re all slippin’ away, no time to be kinder.

Yo, Priyavrata’s saga, a legend’s birth, Etched in time’s core, proving its worth. Manu, weary king, his reign complete, Stepped down from power, a noble retreat.
