Krishna Meditations Weekly

Krishna Meditations   Krishna is full in all opulences—namely strength, wealth, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation. When Krishna was present in Dvaraka, His family, which is known as the Yadu dynasty, consisted of 560 million members. And all of these family members were very obedient and faithful to Krishna. There were more than 900,000 big palatial buildings there to house all the people, and everyone in them respected Krishna as the most worshipable. Devotees were astonished to see the opulence of Krishna. This was verified by Bilvamangala Thākura when in Krishna-karnamrta he addressed Krishna thus: "My dear Lord, what can I say about the opulence of Your Vrndavana? Simply the ornaments on the legs of the damsels of Vrndavana are more than chintamani, and their dresses are as good as the heavenly parijata flowers. And the cows exactly resemble the surabhi cows in the transcendental abode. Therefore Your opulence is just like an ocean that no one can measure."   --His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada  Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 22
