MISHRA UNFOLDS MYSTERIES OF KRISHNA LEELAS  

A discussion on 'The Mystery of Shri Krishna’s childhood games' was organised on Wednesday under the Shri Krishna Leelamrit programme. The main speaker in this seminar was Prof Shyamdev Mishra of Lucknow. He said that contemplation of Krishna is a contemplation that pleases the mind and soul. Krishna is the one who fulfills all the desires, before remembering him it is necessary to remember Radha.

If you want to know Krishna then first know Radha. Krishna’s childhood games are full of beauty, love and joy. This was also his leela in which he sent a nurse demon like Putna to the supreme abode.

This seminar, organised at Triveni Museum, was presided over by Sankalp Mishra of Mahrishi Panini Sanskrit and Vedic University. On this occasion, Santosh Pandya, senior officer of Kalidas Academy, welcomed the guests by presenting Vikram Panchang.
