Jesus Christ & Lord Krishna
I live in the heartland of the USA. The buckle of the Bible Belt. Many pontificating televangelists call it home.
I embrace the One Divine of Many Faces and know it is everywhere, in all things. What was that Bible phrase? Omniscient, omnipresent, omni . . omni . . omni? You get the point.
My home looks out over our beautiful, large, winding river, straight at our downtown skyline. I have a 3 foot in diameter, round (is that redundant?) window at the top of my office gable. July can be most offensive here, so yes, I needed a window covering for even that.
I have a beautiful tapestry of Lord Krishna in his pose of Divine Blessing. It has faithfully shielded my office from the sun for many summers. My home also has a walking trail right below it - it runs adjacent to the river and it is well loved and utilized.
One late afternoon, I was sitting on my patio with my daughter and a very friendly woman called out to us, pointing at my round window. There sits Lord Krishna, ever faithfully extending his blessing to the river, the city and all who might notice him. She declared: "I have been walking by here for years and I just love your Jesus of the Sacred Heart! How wonderful that you put him up there to bless the city and all of us! God Bless You!" We smiled and waved: "Thank you! You're Welcome!"
I mean really, what is the point? No Ma'am? That is Lord Krishna, get it right? People see what they are able to see. If she looks at Krishna and sees Jesus, I'm good with that.
