| Kunti treating Madri like a sister |
Queen Kunti one of the most ardent and exalted devotees of the Lord. In spite of having a life full of unimaginable hardships, she was uncompromising in her integrity as a devotee of the Lord - that reflected in how she raised her sons as great devotees in spite of all difficulties,her dealings with Dhritarashtra even if he were fully supportive of Duryodhana's plans, in her relationship with her cowife Madri- she treated her with love and affection like a little sister, she never let Gandhari's apparent jealousy affect her relationship of love with her.Her difficulties did not make her bitter towards the Lord or towards.
Because she was situated in the spiritual conception she was unaffected by the situations around and it only increased her longing and attachment to the Lord.
Our lives in the material world are similar to Kunti Maharani considering the number of difficulties that affect us and the number of relationship issues we face. We get the rare opportunity to also react to our lives in the same way as Kunti Maharani does, as we go deeper in our Krishna Consciousness.We are so fortunate to have an example like her who at all times was situated in her identity as a servant of the Lord and accepted every situation with grace, real strength and greatness
We are fortunate that we get a glimpse into the consciousness of an
advanced devotee like her through the verses 1.8.18 to 1.8.43 of the
Srimad Bhagavatam.She reveals her consciousness to all of us through this spontaneous outpouring of love and affection to the Lord. Unable to bear separation from her Lord even for a moment, when she sees Him ascending the chariot to leave for Dwarka she expresses her gratitude, her love, her feelings of separation and her devotion to Him.
Through the following blog posts we will attempt to go deeper into Kunti Maharani's prayers with the help and blessings of Srila Prabhupada and all the acaryas.
