There is no difference between God and Krishna. It is the same idea. Krishna is very merciful. If you pray to Him and glorify Him by any song, or by any word, He will hear and He will be pleased.
Life is very short. Some are even dying in the womb of their mothers. There is no certainty when you will die, become mad, or be covered with diseases. So, don't waste your time. Practice devotion to Krishna.
When we meet others, we should not speak about our sufferings. When Srila Rupa and Sanatana Gosvamis used to meet together, they would only speak about Krishna. Similarly, we should remind each other of the sweet pastimes of Krishna.
If you cannot pray, then simply offering respectful obeisances will do. If you sing God’s names and dance, or even chant loudly while walking, or even if you chant softly in the mind, or even if you name your dog or cat or cow Narayana, Krishna, or any of Krishna's names, you will be liberated at once, like Ajamila.
Jnäna-väpi is an important ancient tirtha, which is hidden within the earth on the ten-mile parikramä path around Mathurä, between Bhütesvara Mahädeva and Katarä Kesavadeva (the birthplace of Shri Krishna). Referring to this sacred place, the Varäha Purän (Mathurä-mahätmya) states:
“All the evil planetary influences of those persons who bathe in Isaväpi-bävadi of Dharmaräja, situated in western Mathurä, are removed and they attain bhakti to the Supreme Lord.”
According to the Väyu Puräëa, Dharmaräja Yudhisthira built this bävadi (deep tank with steps). This place is also important as the place where the Supreme Lord Shri krishna used to consult with Mahäräja Yudhiñöhira.
Jnäna-väpi (Jnäna-bävdi)
Jnäna-väpi es un importante tirtha antiguo, que se oculta dentro de la tierra en la trayectoria del parikramä de la diez-milla alrededor de Mathurä, entre Bhütesvara Mahädeva y Katarä Kesavadeva (el lugar de nacimiento de Shri Krishna). Refiriendo a este lugar sagrado, el Varäha Purän (Mathurä-mahätmya) indica:
“Todas las malas influencias planetarias se quitan de aquellas personas que se baïen en Isaväpi-bävadi de Dharmaräja, situado en Mathurä occidental, y ellas logran bhakti al Seïor Supremo.”
Según el Väyu Puräëa, Dharmaräja Yudhisthira construyó este bävadi (estanque profundo con escalones). Es tambien importante este lugar como el lugar donde el Seïor Supremo Shri Krishna lo usaba para consultar con Mahäräja Yudhiñöhira.
