Why Do I Tear Up When I Remember Krishna and Radha?

Radhe Radhe! It's a little different for me. I cry whenever I remember Radha Rani and listen to her Bhajans! I don’t have any idol of hers or of Lord Krishna. My family is not their bhakt, and we do not celebrate Janmashtami or Radhashtami or even fast on Ekadashi. We do not go to ISKCON or Vrindavan. I don’t know why I cry a lot whenever I think of the sacrifices of Shri Krishna and Radha Rani for their love and it is not out of sadness but Love and Devotion. I just feel a connection to Radha Rani and her story. I just get lost in her bhakti and I believe that if I ever fall in love, it should be like that of Radhe Krishna immortal! Hope this answers your question!

Radhe Radhe!

Connecting with Krishna: An Emotional Journey

When someone is in your heart, you should not cry, but feel blessed. I have grown up watching my father worshipping Krishna daily. He was a great Krishna devotee, born on Janmashtami. There was a huge portrait of Lord Krishna in our house. Though I have never worshipped him nor kept any fast for him, my father used to do so. But I have some sort of emotional connection with him for sure. Because before my housewarming, I suddenly felt like doing some paintings for my house. And Krishna came to my thoughts. I searched Google and liked a few.

In my bedroom...

In my drawing room...

The day I entered my home, he came along with me. That day only I felt his EXISTENCE in my home. He made me realize that 'I am with you.' He resides in my heart only or else I couldn’t bring him alive through my art. He protects me and my family from all negative people and negative energy.

Krishna's Love and Presence

Hey, Krishna loves us because he is love and he created us. His love is unconditional, personal, and enduring. It doesn’t depend on who we are or what we’ve done. Instead, HE loves us because of who he is, and HE loves each of us individually. Do you know, I fell in LOVE with Krishna when I felt Krishna’s live presence in Puri Dhaam at the time when surrounded by negative energies. HE is so much ALIVE and always with us. No one can push away or overpower HIM and His love towards us by any wrong motives or forces or negative energy/aura.

Anyone can feel His strong presence with their own inner eyes, but the one who needs to have clarity within with true intentions towards oneself and for others—'the inner voice is God’s voice toward the soul recognition'—can fight against any negative auras. One needs to have selfless service and attitude besides loving oneself. One needs to live for others besides enjoying the company of their soul. One needs to have the heart of gold and mind made of iron. Only then, Krishna comes as usual for you in any form and brings tears from your eyes.
