AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In one of your recent talks you said that Krishna’s shakti was Draupadi. Can you explain?🦚🪷👑❤️‍🔥

Draupadi was an incarnation of Kali. She had come to see the nemesis of the entire Kuru clan that had become powerful and arrogant. For this she kept the Pandava brothers together and did not let them forget the need to avenge her humiliation. Sri Krishna fulfilled her will through the war of Kurukshetra. The dance of Vrindavan is one mood of Krishna where Radha symbolising perfect love is his consort. The dance of Kurukshetra is the other mood of Krishna where Draupadi is his complimentary counterpart. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
