Krishna, You Know Me Not!
Krishna, You Know Me Not!
Long ago Sugathakumari had written a Malayalam poem titled "Krishna, Neeyenne Ariyilla!" (Krishna, You Don't Know Me!).

I leave the poem for you to read and contemplate.
I really started writing something else. This is an age-related problem, jumping from one thought to another, you will try to console me. Really it's not. I've been living with this from childhood and it is my good luck 🙏 that my mind developed the skills to jump from branch to branch and tree to tree and when necessary from one compound to another without getting injured beyond repair!
When I read scriptures
I always enjoy reading the "Phalasruti" first. To my limited knowledge of religious literature and philosophy, Krishna is the only incarnation we can depend in an emergency. Like some political parties, once you 'surrender', Krishna accepts you without further questions or insulting comments.
Even if you, by mistake, mention my name (Govinda which happens to be one among the one thousand names over which he holds a patent and Govinda appears more than once when Bhishma tried to remember and list His s for the benefit of posterity) once, he takes over your responsibility whatsoever be your assets and liabilities.
I bet one can easily identify with Krishna and find a friend in him when you are friendless. If Steve Jobs was successful, no reason why you should fail.
