Krishna's Appearance and Disappearance...

Verse 1.10.26 (Mohan Pr):
* As Lord Sri Krishna is departing hastinapur to go to Dwaraka, the ladies from the rooftops are now glorifying the Yadu dynasty and the place where He was born.
* In the BG also it is given that, if one truly understands the transcendental nature of the appearance and disappearance of the Lord, we will immediately be liberated.
* The appearance of the Lord is not something material, at least that much we much understand.
* The conditioned soul is forced to take a body when he comes to this material world, but for Krishna it is not so, He has a transcendental body, His birth is not like the conditioned souls.
* EG: Sun is always existing, it only appears in the east in the morning and disappears in the west in the evening. Very clear example of what it means Krishna appears and disappears. It only means that in our vision He appears and disappears.
* The Yadu dynasty is also being glorified here and the land of Mathura also. How glorious are the different places where the Lord performed His pastimes.
* Material world < Vaikunta planets < Goloka Vrindavana, similarly Mathura < Vrindanvan < Govardhan Hill < Radha kund
* So the Lord comes here to perform the pastimes, so that we can get attracted to Him.
* Through His holy name, we can purify ourselves, then we will be able to understand the pastimes of the Lord.
* This week, the World Holy Name Week, pls chant extra rounds just to glorify the Lord.
