Why Listening to Krishna’s Stories is Important

Krishna’s stories are not just tales - they hold deep spiritual power. These stories of Krishna’s leelas and avataras have been loved by saints and seekers for ages, as each story reveals his greatness and compassion. Even things Krishna touched, like the sacred River Ganga, became holy and gained the power to purify people’s sins. Ganga Mata, as she is known, received this purity from touching Krishna’s feet, allowing her to cleanse millions of sins. Krishna’s stories, too, can purify, bring peace, and uplift everyone who hears them.

What are Yantras ?

Yantras are considered the deity's body, with Mantras as the soul. Each deity has an associated Yantra, and Agamas give specific instructions for creating and worshipping these Yantras. They can be made on various materials, including gold, silver, copper, or Bhurja (birch bark). There are two types of Yantras: those used in worship (Pujaniya) and those worn on the body (Dharaniya), with the latter believed to fulfill desires and offer protection.
