remember ‘us’. Use ‘our’ name and pray to Lord Krishna five
times every morning, and if you have worries, come back to me.
Why would you have any worry if you are a true devotee of
Lord Krishna and your intentions are pure? What is wrong with
telling Lord Krishna the truth? A true and sincere devotee has
the right to challenge and question the Lord. What is there to

Yogeshwar Krishna and so everyone is caught up in worshipping
the form of the child Krishna. They offer the little lord sweets,
toys, a baby-cot etc., but what is the benefit here? Pushti
Dharma (child-Krishna worship) is a kindergarten level; it is a
religion of the baby Krishna. The real religion is that of
Yogeshwar Krishna. The child Krishna religion is like a temple
