I've found an answer for myself!! it doesn't really matter which one as all are referring to the same absolute truth of the supreme - if They (the Supreme) are infinite then by nature they can manifest themselves in various svayam forms (the forms where they are svayam the supreme person) and partial forms (where they are illuminating part of the infinite aspects of Them) - which we may not understand so easily due to the finite nature of our existence. They have infinite potencies and opulences in their descriptions. They have different aspects e.g. the Brahmajyoti (efflugence and radiance of Brahman) and the Person from which this radiates as the absolute Parabrahman - the origin of these rays. both of these are one and the same, and that which we call the source is the absolute Person. so all forms of the Supreme are just as true as the other and can be appreciated in their svayam forms - like Shri Krishna, the all attractive one. Finite part of the Supreme person is the same Paramatma in our finite hearts that leads us to love and goodness and welfare. so it's all good! thank you Narayan for the answer <3
having a bit of a philosophical/existential crisis...
I've always been a seeker of truth, a philosopher, sometimes beyond my own good. there comes a time when I don't know what to accept or follow as my truth.
Shri Keshav says in Bhagavad-Gita that he meets anyone where they want to meet him. but how am I meant to know in which form I want to meet him? is it Shri Krishna, Rama, or even those such as Lord Shiva, Jesus, etc. ?
I feel very much attached to Shri Krishna but how am I meant to reconcile the truth of absolutely everything, with the love for a Keshava who dances and enjoys and is merry among his sakhis and sakhas? how do I reconcile these identities. how do I reconcile the innumerable forms He takes for himself to approach all of us and touch our hearts, and choose the one that is for me? or is it simply just the form of the unknowable, infinite, Supreme being. but then how may I love him for his heart-pulling qualities and get personally attached to his form?
sry lol a bit diff to what I usually post...

AND THEN WE ALL STARTED JUMPING AND CHEERING AND GOING "AY AY AY AY"
OMG i felt so connected with shri govinda and his gopas and with everyone around me asw 😭😭💙💙💙💙

hc: kanha in modern day would be that kid that leaves like 139 silly selfies on ur phone of like the same angle of his face, but he's just so cute and sweet and adorable that u would just never delete them even when ur storage is 👎❌️
dancing as a form of worship <3
sometimes things make me feel things and im like AAAAhhhhHah🥹🥹🥹
Sometimes I just can't help but imagine all of #gopiblr dancing our hearts out to 'Kanna Niduninchana' (Kanha Soja Zara) and our peacock-feathered boy just standing there leaning on a wall and smiling at us like aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

my ma (og Lord Krishna stan I must have got it from her) went to Mathura Vrindavan 20yrs ago and said she was so underwhelmed and disappointed cos they didn't keep it clean at all and it was very unkempt and dirty.
now on Google maps everything looks so beautiful and well maintained Hare Krishna.
I wonder when I'll be able to go... it feels so climactic right now, like the final destination. like ik there is Dwarka and other sites but the Brajbhoomi is its own magic. I bet when I actually get to go ill feel ready. i bet I'll just be crying the entire time lmao 🥰
not @ me like associating all bollywood songs with ya mans Shri Krishn like he's my school girl crush 😂🥰 re-listened to tum kya mile frm rocky aur rani ki prem kahani and it made me have feels haha:
"Beiraada raaston ki
Bann gaye ho manzilein
Mushkilein hal hain tumhin se
Ya tumhin ho mushkilein
Tum kya mile
Tum kya mile
Hum na rahe hum
Tum kya mile
Jaise mere
Dil mein khile
Phagun ke mausam
Tum kya mile" ~ 💙
imagine doing a dramatic bollywood enactment of it and Him just watching and smiling his natkhat smile ajajahaksksb 😭😭😭
(afterthought may have been inspired by @dancingpotato s post haha)
love the bit that says he is everything yet nothing <3
Krishna is beautiful. Krishna is love. Krishna is gentle. Krishna is the little mischievous darling boy of Vrindavan. Krishna is the flute-playing sweetheart of the Gopis. Krishna is the solace of the cows and his cowherder friends. Krishna is a thief- stealing away mākhan and hearts from every home in Vrindavan.
Krishna is all this. Krishna was all this for as long as he stayed in Gokul-Vrindavan. Later on...
Krishna is the Yugpurush of Aryavarta. Krishna, the slayer of Kamsa is the fearsome Chakradhar. Krishna the husband of Lakshmi-swaroopa Rukmini is Yogeshwar. Krishna is the protector of Draupadi and the Pandavas. Krishna is the invincible Charioteer of Arjuna. Krishna is Nārāyan. Krishna is Pārabramh.
He is all this too and again, He is not bound in any of these roles. He is everything and nothing at the same time. Nirākar-Nirguna and Sākar-Saguna. Krishna is what his devotees need him to be. He is Eternal and Endless.
Krishna is the universe and beyond. He is vast and yet in my heart Krishna is just the gentle flute-playing darling of Gopis. Little bundle of Yashoda's joy. Yugpurush and Parambramh and Dwarkadheesh he might be for entite Aryavarta- but for Braj he is the little boy running around, the one who got tied up to the ookhal by Ma Yashoda, the one who ate dirt and bathed in river Yamuna. He is just their little Krishna, their Joy and bliss. Nothing more, nothing less.
*Ram sees Hanuman's curly thick hair*
Ram: I think I should get a perm
Sita: Not in this lifetime you're not
*one reincarnation later*

men slayer
doesn't allow bullying; arranges self defence classes
pays for canteen food with no hesitation
[high-five with Krishna and Satyabhama]
human embodiment of the fire emoji
But never, we repeat, never get into an argument with her. “You wanna fight me? How about I see you in detention while you are talking to the walls?”
Yudhishthir: The Head Boy —
nobody likes, but he was the best option for the head boy, so here we are.
a+ in everything except common-fucking-sense
gambled away his head boy badge once on Duryodhan's insistence; Draupadi helped him get another one form the staff room
talks a lot in civics classes, even the teacher wants him to shut up
desperately making sure he replaces the school equipments his brothers broke
“The rules were made for a reason” are his magic words whenever uttered by him, made everyone roll their eyes hard enough to see their brains.
Duryodhan: The Jerk —
*sits in Yudhishtir' chair* I was here first
he is only popular because his father is the principal
body building competition with Bheem
*looks at Karna* [mitra intensifies]

romantic af
proposed to Draupadhi in fifth standard on fancy day competition; they're still close friends
constant self doubt and soccer practice
secretly watches rom-com with Krishna; cries while watching kuch kuch hota hai
It's a well known fact that Arjun has severe anxiety and the only person who can calm him down is Krishna. If he goes too long without seeing him, he starts panicking. “Has anyone seen Krishna? I haven’t him since this morning and it’s worrying me-”
Karna: The Soccer Scholarship Kid —
brags so much about his hardwork and ordeals that he irritates everyone.
[inferiority complex] — is it because I am a scholarship kid?
h a t e s Arjun
✨ abandonment issues✨ probably needs to see the counselor
vice president of the Duryodhan Should Be The Head Boy club
“Of course, I am the best player on the team, Arjun who?” some girls agree with him, probably that's why there is a print of his shirtless instagram post in the third floor girls washroom . . . or maybe he put it up himself; either way the girls appreciate it!
Nakul: The Charming Guitar Player —
sings Shawn Mendes' song better than Shawn Mendes
every girl on campus has a crush (of varying degree) on him
runs to the library when people are too much, and pokes Sahdev until he starts an unofficial TED Talk on something new he learned
late night shopping sprees with Sahdev to wreak havoc in the mall
they look at everything, buy eccentric fashion, and terrorize the night staff
“Oh, I am nothing special,” he says before striking a cord on his guitar like that of a musical genius.
Sahdev: The Super Cute Science Nerd —
loves info-dumpimg
groans at the beginning of every shopping spree, but secretly enjoys it; his favourite part is scaring the guard.
alone time™ in the library + black coffee; only Nakul is allowed to disturb
once a nerd wrote him a love letter filled with science jokes in red ink and he fainted because he thought it was blood
s l e e p d e p r i v a t i o n
He is famous for that one time he had an argument with the chemistry professor — “Sorry Sir, I guess I’ll just-” [proceeds to throw dry sodium in the washing sink still full of water]
Ashwathama: The Loyal Sidekick —
invented daddy issues
amazing at soccer but doesn't get as much limelight as Arjun and Karna
thinks he should be the president of the Duryodhan Should Be The Head Boy club; but is only a respectable member
incharge of getting Dushasan out of trouble
has a secret crush on duryodhan
It is rumoured that he once sneaked out in the wee hours of night and stood in line for five hours to get limited edition friendship bands for Duryodhan; the latter loved it so much he gave it to Karna.
Krishna: The God Student (No, Seriously) —
walks in like he runs the school; which he kinda does
no one is absent on the day of maths double period because they get to see more of Krishna-Shakuni banter

helps at the local animal shelter
you will find him in the music room with a certain someone, playing flute, at odd times
can sing, dance, act and top all of his classes at the same time
On Krishna's sixteenth birthday everyone from not only his section, but his standard as well, gathered — he thought they will sing happy birthday and make him feel like a baby but the sang roop tera mastana, he smiled the entire time; Arjun organised this singing session.
Rukmini: The Hopeless Romantic —
has a secret rebel side to her
[heart eyes for Krishna]
has an overprotective brother who follows her everywhere, and still somehow looses her
ew, Shishupal!
the best baker in the campus
“No, Rukmi can be a nice person, I swear,” she says while shaking her head and mouthing a big ‘NO ’
Satyabhama: The Haughty Girl's Soccer Team Captain —
men slayer 2.0
superiority complex
a total sweetheart when you get to know her though
boys are attracted and terrified of her at the same time; she loves it!
[kisses Krishna on the mouth in front of the whole cafeteria]
“I am the best soccer player Arjun and Karna can shove their pathetic act up” well, she isn't lying, you know
Radha: The Girl We Don't Know —
close friends with Krishna
goes to a school; but you can find her hangout in the back of the campus for some reason
mystery girl
friends with Subhadra; only they can play successful pranks on Krishna. . . only because he let's it happen

The school Radha goes to once had a inter-school competition with ours where somehow Radha and Krishna ended up dancing together — their chemistry might have blinded some people
Balram: The Mom Friend —

twin sister to Krishna

always hanging out with Shishupal
doesn't know how, when, where, and against whom to pick his battles with

Shishupal: The Rude Boy Nicki Minaj is Always Talking About In Her Songs —
always hanging out with Rukmi
doesn't know when to shut up
runs an anonymous confession account, but everyone knows half of the 'confessions' are his own due of his Krishna-hate and obsession with Rukmini
walking/talking headache
[hate speech intensifies]
Once he was assigned to give a speech about ethics in class and somehow he ended up connecting the topic with Krishna — went off tangent, spewing hate and accidentally made an inappropriate joke, which landed him a two week long suspension; Krishna only smiled!
Eklavya: The Underdog —
[cries in under appreciation]
economically poor background; got into this school through his sheer hardwork
exceptional at soccer; but coach Drona never takes him in team
there's a rumour that coach tried to jeopardise his career for some big plan
[looks longingly at the soccer field]

bullies little children
also a member of the Duryodhan Should Be The Head Boy club

buys cute dresses from esty
embarrassed sister of Duryodhan and Dushasan
dating and hating Jayadrath
is hundred percent closeted lesbian
She runs a secret service where she makes little birthday cards and leaves them in the locker of the students who don't have friends; wait. . . how does she know their locker codes?!
Vikarna: The Nice Guy —
drinks eight glasses of respect women juice every day
protective of his little sister; why don't you just break up with Jaydrath?
jai to Yuyustu's viru
feels stuck in the Duryudhan Should Be The Head Boy club but loves his brother
[roams with duct tape everywhere to shut Dushasan's mouth]
He is a shy kid but he called out a Supervisor Teacher in front of whole school in assembly; because they were scolding girl for not wearing a ghaghra

bought a vespa and had a side car installed in it for sholay aesthetics

viru to Vikarna's jai
He shares Vikarna's desire to beat the shit out of his brothers; but doesn't restraints himself like Vikarna.

Okay, @GOPIBLR and @KRISHNABLR sakhas and sakhis!
