Krsna Likes The Lotus Flower Very Much, So If We See Lotus Flower, We Can Remember Krsna

[Gavin Swinden]

(So Kṛṣṇa likes paṅkaja very much, lotus flower. So if we see lotus flower, we can remember . . . immediately remember Kṛṣṇa)

 

"So Kṛṣṇa's all parts of the body reference to the paṅkaja. Paṅkaja means lotus flower. Paṅka means mud, and ja means generate. Paṅkaja, the lotus flower, is so important. Still, it is generated from mud. So Kṛṣṇa likes paṅkaja very much, lotus flower.

 

So if we see lotus flower, we can remember . . . immediately remember Kṛṣṇa. If . . . just like if you love your child, if you see any garment, a small ship . . . shoes or any play things, immediately you remember your child: "Oh, this is my child's shoes.

 

This is my child's playing things. This is my garment." So it is the question of love. If you actually love God, Kṛṣṇa, then you can remember Him at any time, always, always. There is no difficulty."
