Krishna's Mercy

What Makes An Object

"Any object is known by its four characteristic features:  name, form, qualities and activities.  Lord Krishna is the Supreme Object; thus He is knowable in terms of His unlimited and eternal name, form, qualities, and pastimes.  The absence of these four features in anything denies its status as object.  For example, impersonal Brahman is formless; hence it is not an object unto itself, but simply a distinctive trait of the Supreme Lord."  (Harinama-Cintamani)

Mission Statement

“In every respect, I will do whatever it takes to go where Sita is. Or if I can’t find her, I will uproot the city of Lanka and bring it back here with Ravana.” (Hanuman addressing the Vanaras, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 1.42)

Degree of Deviation

“Devotional service, beginning with the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is the ultimate religious principle for the living entity in human society.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 6.3.22)

Respect the Game

“If I can't find Sita in the three heavens after exerting so much effort, I will bring Ravana, the king of Rakshasas, here bound up.” (Hanuman addressing the Vanaras, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 1.41)

Brilliant in Defense

“The Shrimad-Bhagavatam states that the Sudarshana chakra penetrated the darkness just as an arrow released from the Sharnga bow of Lord Ramachandra penetrated the army of Ravana. Su means very nice, and darshana means observation; by the grace of Lord Krishna's disc, Sudarshana, everything can be seen very nicely, and nothing can remain in darkness.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 2, Ch 34)

Positive Thinking

“Just as the arrows released by Raghava travel at the speed of the wind, so I will travel swiftly to Lanka, the city protected by Ravana. If I do not find the daughter of King Janaka in Lanka, with the same force I shall go to the realm of the demigods.” (Hanuman addressing the Vanaras, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 1.39-40)

Scarcity

“By proper utilization of thoughtfulness, one comes to the stage of thinking of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By thinking of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one becomes free from the contamination of the faulty association of the material world, and thus one becomes peaceful. The world is in a disturbed condition because of a scarcity of such peaceful devotees in human society.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 2, Ch 34)

Blistered Earth

“Then, that most powerful and brave monkey, like the smooth water, roamed with ease across the grass that had the hue of a vaidurya stone. That sagacious monkey, like an agitated lion, swept aside many deer and other animals, scared away the birds, and crushed down trees with his chest.” (Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 1.3-4)

Adhokshaja

“Being beyond the range of limited sense perception, You are the eternally irreproachable factor covered by the curtain of deluding energy. You are invisible [adhokshajam] to the foolish observer, exactly as an actor dressed as a player is not recognized.” (Queen Kunti speaking to Lord Krishna, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.18.19)

Shri Hanuman

“Then, after seeing the newly risen sun in the great forest when you were a boy, taking it to be fruit and wanting to catch it, you jumped up and flew towards the sky.” (Jambavan speaking to Hanuman, Valmiki Ramayana, Kishkindha Kand, 66.21)
