Speaker: Namaskaram Sadhguru, there's a video which is going round in social media,
distorting the meaning of what you spoke about Krishna
and many people are falling for it and saying negative things about you.
And it has happened before also, why is that people are not able to see through such acts again and again?
Sadhguru: Ah, yes, somebody brought this.
Somebody brought this leela video from the program - Leela.
The program Leela was conducted because of our profound appreciation
and devotion for Krishna as the most playful and fantastic
colorful manifestation of Yoga.
Well, this is an intimate program of eight days, many things have been said.
They take a video and mischievously edit it and make it look like
some sacrilegious thing has been said. Their idea of sacrilege is this:
I'm talking about Krishna and Yashoda, who is his foster mother. And I say...
initially, though, she was there as a mother, after sometime she becomes her lover.
Their idea of lover means going to bed with somebody.
They don't understand that Krishna is love.
There is nobody who cannot be his lover. Everybody can be there only as his lover, no other way.
Unfortunately, their idea of a lover is sexuality.
And they're feeling offended about it. Some are genuinely offended, I am sorry for them.
But others are mischievous, they're making up these things. They know why they edited the movie,
I mean, the video like that. It's an intentional, mischievous edit.
So, for those who are genuinely admirers and lovers of Krishna, I'm using that word again for you.
If you are, you can be rest assured that I will not say something against him,
or anybody for that matter.
Krishna, there is no other way to approach him than as a lover,
so when she realizes the child that she is possessive about and so enamored with,
she realizes slowly as he grows, what is his quality,
She knows the only way she can engage with him, is to be in love with him. And she is.
To be in love with somebody... actually,
even physical lovers, when they're really loving, there will be no sexuality between them,
they will be just there, just holding hands and sitting is all that matters, it will become like that.
So, even among them, where they came together because of bodily push,
even they become like that. Here is an embodiment of love.
How can anybody be without being his lover? Everybody,
his mother, grandmother, friends, man, woman, child, cows,
everybody loves him, because that's the only way they can be. If you love somebody, you are his lover.
If you don't understand that, I'm very sorry, those of you who've been hurt
genuinely believing I've said something against that, I'm sorry, please correct yourself. It's not so.
But, those of you who are doing it mischievously, what can I do for you?
At least when it comes to Krishna, bring some love into your heart. Don't go about with this mischief
and this hate campaigns that you run all the time. (Laughs) What to say about them?
