But let us seek solace from the fact that at least we were able to forge a subtle intangible fleeting spiritual bond with each other. We may not be able to connect with each other in the external real world.

There is peace – even it is for a fleeting moment. The Krishna within us is now able to connect to the Krishna that resides within the other. I am creating space for Krishna to enter my soul when I interact with you.” Because the other person is making a declaration saying that, “I too am willing to set aside my differences with you for a while. More than enough.Īnd one fine day, we will not be surprised when our greeting is returned. We can continue to say “Jai Shree Krishna” to the other. That day he too will allow Krishna to enter his heart.Īnd till that happens, all we need to do is to focus on our inner self – keep our fears, pain, hurt and insecurity firmly in check and allow Krishna to exist in our souls. Someday, when the other person has healed completely, he too gets the strength to subdue his ego. And we need to understand that we all heal at our own pace and time. That just means that the other person is still taking time to come to terms with his emotional and mental turmoil. He may grudgingly reciprocate our greeting with a cold “Jai Shree Krishna” or may even ignore our greeting altogether. The other person may accept our greeting with diffidence. Yes, when we say “Jai Shree Krishna” to such folks, we are expressing all this to them at an extremely subtle level. But I will ignore it briefly and allow my Krishna to take over for a while.” My ego is at work now and has blinded me. When we make it a habit to greet even people that we don’t get along with – with a “Jai Shree Krishna” it is a subtle way of saying that “I have my fair share of differences with you. It is at such times that this simple greeting becomes invaluable to us. So we are unable to connect to the Krishna within the other. We are unable to connect to the Krishna within us. Ego reigns supreme in the form of fear, pride, insecurity, hurt, pain etc. There is an overdose of friction in such relationships. Often, we are reluctant to even say “Jai Shree Krishna” to them. So the essence of Krishna that resides within us is able to connect to the essence of Krishna that resides within the other easily.īut there is a certain stiffness, a hesitation, a kind of awkward silence when we utter the very same greeting of “Jai Shree Krishna” to people with whom we don’t get along with. There is no friction in such relationships. There is understanding and openness in communication. We can speak with them freely because we know we will be accepted despite our flaws.

We have a smile in place and a peaceful look on our face when we greet the people we love with “Jai Shree Krishna”. It helps us make some kind of a connection with everyone. That is what “Jai Shree Krishna” helps us with. But He did make some kind of a connection with everyone. Krishna too connected to different people differently. We all connect to different people in different ways. The same principle applies to all of us too. He would reappear the minute they regained their equanimity. Whenever the gopis became proud of being so close to Krishna, He would disappear. Krishna exits from our soul when our ego enters our mind and heart.

It is a battle between my ego and your ego. The word “Vijay” on the other hand means victory over someone or something. I am just focussing on my inner self, making a conscious choice to allow the essence of Krishna to reign supreme within my soul and want the Krishna within me to win over my ego. The word “Jai” means victory over one’s inner self. Then it may help us forge a better bond with others. It helps us forge a better bond with ourselves. “Jai Shree Krishna” too is an external verbal expression. Often they are so subtle that we do not even perceive these changes. We cannot accurately pinpoint or define this transformation. Let’s delve into it a little.Įxternal expressions bring about an internal transformation within us. Most of us think “Jai Shree Krishna” means “Let the essence of Krishna that resides within us emerge victorious.” But I feel there is more to this simple greeting that we would like to believe. It’s a beautiful way of greeting one another. We, Vaishnavs who follow the path of grace, Pushti Marg, greet each other with “Jai Shree Krishna” when we meet one another for the first time in the day and also when we part ways or leave home.
