Krishna's pastimes and name, ever nectarean

Verses 1.1.18 and 19: Krishna has taken so many incarnations not only to protect the devotees, but also to make the concept of God more obvious.

People in this kaliyuga, cannot perceive what is beyond mind and senses. Thats why Krishna again and again comes, and also makes his devotees to compile his pastimes. So that until He comes again, devotees will be able to read it and relish his pastimes.That is the reason why Krishna appears.

Second thing is, Krishna is called uttama shloka. Take anything material, any cinema song, it will become boring soon. But the Holy Name, Krishna's pastimes, never become boring. Svadu svadu pade pade, again and again we can relish it. Why? Krishna is fully satisfying, His name, His pastimes everything is eternally nectarean.

The conditioned living entity can never like the taste of SB. But a paramahamsa devotee can relish it and continue to relish it every time he hears it.

Understanding that Holy name is the solution and serving the Acharya's is another part of the solution.

Not only Krishna's pastimes, but also His genuine devotee's pastimes are always loved by everyone. Eg: Srila Prabhupada. We must have gratitude to Srila Prabhupada and hear his pastimes. We can show this by serving him and chanting nicely everyday.
