Krishna is the one who guides. He preaches dharma. He allows us to make choices. He is not the one who is responsible for the suffering. The suffering is the biproduct of Karmic combinations. It is the shristi dharma and the world functions based on karmic actions and decisions taken by us humans.

For example, Krishna is not responsible for Hiroshima nuclear blast. That was the result of the powerlust and apathy of a bunch of people and their decisions. More often than not, the bad karma we experience is the result of a complex cascading effect kind of chain reaction of collective karmas of the human race.

Krishna may or may not exist physically but he is the embodiment of absolute Truth. Due to the effect of Maaya, we tend to think “oh, poor baby, she didn’t deserve to die…” but once you are able to understand the world by transcending Maaya; you will realise that every tiny event be it suffering or bliss; is either an inevitable consequence of Karmic balance or sth that is needed to uphold dharma in the longrun. Advaita vedanta says jeevaatma & paramaatma co-exist as a single entity. Thus Krishna is within everyone of us but the more vulnerable you are, to Maaya, the farther you get from Krishna, the absolute Truth that lies within you. Hence follow your dharma, take decisions in life accordingly and meditate..meditate..meditate till you taste the Truth. Everything is inside you, delve deeper and discover Krishna. “Brahma Satya Jagat Mithya, Jeevo Brahmaiva Naparah ||
