    A quiet afternoon of august, 2014
    the train reached Kurukhetra
    I got down
    Lord Krishna welcomed me
    from the waiting hall
    the wall paintings of Lord Krishna mesmerized me...
    His charishma
    His efforts to prevent
    the great war of Mahabharat
    depicted in the lively paintings
    enthralled me...
    I returned from Kurukhetra the same day
    in the hope that
    someday I visit this place.
    Four years later...
    a rainy day of July , 2018
    my train stopped at Kurukhetra
    as I got down
    I searched every nook and corner
    His paintings not there
    I was upset
    where you have gone, Krishna...
    I stared at the sky
    raindrops falling
    streets filled with water
    where am I searching Krishna ?
    He is in the soil
    He is in the sky
    He is in the water
    He is the rain welcoming me
    He is the sky watching me
    He is the consciousness
    this was the pious thought
    at the sacred place
    I could not think beyond this.

    You remind me of Purandara Dasar's song Jagadodharana
    This is the lovely meaning of the song:

    "Yashoda plays with the Savior of the World
    Deeming him as her son
    That embodiment of all that is good
    His greatness is beyond measure and count


    This gem among children -- Yashoda plays with him
    More minute than atoms, Greater than the greatest
    With the unmeasurable, Yashoda plays with Him
    With the Greatest among beings, Para Vaasaudeva,
    With Purandhara Vitthala, Yashoda plays with him"

    Krishna is omnipresent. Who is not aware of this ! It is the situational feelings which I wanted to give vent to.
