Kṛṣṇa-mayī: Remembrance and Oneness in Love
“Or “kṛṣṇa-mayī” means that She is identical with Lord Kṛṣṇa, for She embodies the mellows of love. The energy of Lord Kṛṣṇa is identical with Him.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa-mayī has two meanings. First, it describes a person who always thinks of Kṛṣṇa within and without, remembering only Him wherever that person goes or whatever that person sees.
- Kṛṣṇa’s personality is full of love. His loving potency, Rādhārāṇī, is nondifferent from Him and is therefore called kṛṣṇa-mayī.
- She embodies the mellows of love. As Lord Kṛṣṇa’s energy, She is identical with Him.
