    WHAT ARE THE DISTINGUISHING VIRTUES
    OF KRISHNA THAT MAKE HIM RELEVANT
    TO OUR TIME? WHAT IS HIS SIGNIFICANCE
    FOR US? PLEASE EXPLAIN.

    Krishna is utterly incomparable, he is so
    unique.

    Firstly, his uniqueness lies in the fact that
    although Krishna happened in the ancient
    past he belongs to the future, is really of the
    future. Man has yet to grow to that height
    where he can be a contemporary of Krishna's.

    He is still beyond man's understanding; he
    continues to puzzle and baffle us. Only in
    some future time will we be able to
    understand him and appreciate his virtues.
    And there are good reasons for it.

    The most important reason is that Krishna is
    the sole great man in our whole history who
    reached the absolute height and depth of
    religion, and yet he is not at all serious and
    sad, not in tears.

    By and large, the chief characteristic of a
    religious person has been that he is somber,
    serious and sad-looking – like one
    vanquished in the battle of life, like a
    renegade from life. In the long line of such
    sages it is Krishna alone who comes dancing,
    singing and laughing...
