My Eternal Brother: Krishn Kanhaiya

Bhaiya Dooj is a festival celebrating the love between a brother and sister. This love has existed since time immemorial.

In this world, we have many relationships: mother, father, daughter, wife and others. We naturally yearn for these relationships, and when even one of them is missing from our lives, we experience an inner sense of sorrow. 

We may think, “My father passed away when I was young, and I never experienced the joy of having him,” or “My mother left us early,” or “We have no son or daughter.” When there is no one to turn to, we feel this absence deeply. Some people even create relationships of their own, calling someone a sister by faith or a son by faith.

But in the spiritual realm, God tells us, “Consider Me your everything.”

God: Our Every Relationship

All the Vedas and scriptures convey one message: God alone is our everything. You may recall from the Ramayana that Lakshman said of Lord Ram, “Ram is my brother and my father.” In the material world, such expressions would be considered improper. If someone called his father his brother, or his brother his father, people would think he had lost his senses. It would be equally strange to call one’s son one’s husband.

But in God’s realm, this happens in reality. You may establish whatever relationship you desire with God. One moment, consider Him your father; the next, your son; and the next, your husband. There is no question of sin or impropriety in this Divine relationship.

God has only one condition: “Consider Me your everything. Do not go elsewhere seeking these relationships.”

And this is a relationship that will never break. In this world, all relationships will one day come to an end. The father will pass away, the mother will leave, and sons and daughters will depart too. After all, even this physical body is perishable. Who can claim that we will always remain together?

But in God’s realm, everything exists. So, today, let us remember that we too have a brother, and His name is Krishna Kanhaiya!

Mere bhi hai bhaiya, Krishna Kanhaiya

Dauji ke bhaiya, Krishna Kanhaiya

“I too have a brother, Krishna Kanhaiya, the brother of Dauji!”

All glories to Shri Krishna Kanhaiya!
