There is no friction in such relationships. There is understanding and openness in communication. We can speak with them freely because we know we will be accepted despite our flaws. We have a smile in place and a peaceful look on our face when we greet the people we love with “Jai Shree Krishna”. It helps us make some kind of a connection with everyone. That is what “Jai Shree Krishna” helps us with. But He did make some kind of a connection with everyone. Krishna too connected to different people differently. We all connect to different people in different ways. The same principle applies to all of us too. He would reappear the minute they regained their equanimity. Whenever the gopis became proud of being so close to Krishna, He would disappear. Krishna exits from our soul when our ego enters our mind and heart. It is a battle between my ego and your ego. The word “Vijay” on the other hand means victory over someone or something. I am just focussing on my inner self, making a conscious choice to allow the essence of Krishna to reign supreme within my soul and want the Krishna within me to win over my ego. The word “Jai” means victory over one’s inner self. Then it may help us forge a better bond with others. It helps us forge a better bond with ourselves.
“Jai Shree Krishna” too is an external verbal expression. Often they are so subtle that we do not even perceive these changes. We cannot accurately pinpoint or define this transformation. Let’s delve into it a little.Įxternal expressions bring about an internal transformation within us. Most of us think “Jai Shree Krishna” means “Let the essence of Krishna that resides within us emerge victorious.” But I feel there is more to this simple greeting that we would like to believe.
It’s a beautiful way of greeting one another. We, Vaishnavs who follow the path of grace, Pushti Marg, greet each other with “Jai Shree Krishna” when we meet one another for the first time in the day and also when we part ways or leave home.
