BG 10.31: Of purifiers I am the wind, of the wielders of weapons I am Rāma, of fishes I am the shark, and of flowing rivers I am the Ganges.
BG 10.32: Of all creations I am the beginning and the end and also the middle, O Arjuna. Of all sciences I am the spiritual science of the self, and among logicians I am the conclusive truth.
BG 10.33: Of letters I am the letter A, and among compound words I am the dual compound. I am also inexhaustible time, and of creators I am Brahmā.
BG 10.34: I am all-devouring death, and I am the generating principle of all that is yet to be. Among women I am fame, fortune, fine speech, memory, intelligence, steadfastness and patience.

The beginning of Sanskrit letters- A is the beginning of the Vedas- that is Krsna.
Among killers, time is the greatest killer- time is nothing but energy of Krsna. Time is the ultimate killer in the material world. Everyone has to bow down to inexhaustable time regardless of how popular/ rich etc they are. ALexander the Great also could not conquer time- he left empty handed despite being so valiant.
Each moment wasted is wasted and cannot be brought back even by paying millions of $$$$
Time is so powerful, it is making everyone old, things are passing by before our very eyes. Time is Krsna's energy.
Krsna expalins the opulances are al Krsna. Fame is non different than Krsna. Fortunate is Krsna. Everything good or bad is coming from Krsna- it is Krsna, nothing is separate from Krsna- the reason to separate is maya- and so the living entity can claim propreitorship and further propells the living entity into the cycle of suffering. But Krsna is so merciful that he wants to help the living entity out of this illusory cycle and remember Krsna everywhere. Therefore Krsna is also called as Jaganath.
Yesterday the Puri rath yathra took place- it is the most populated and attended festival in the world.
The dieties are placed on thier chariots and brought to the Gaundicha temple.
Krsna performed this pastime, when everyone (Brajvasis) gathered on the banks of Ganga- Brajvasis put Krsna on the chariot and wanted to bring Krsna back to Vrindavan from Kurukshetra.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's lilas He demonstrated a pastime of Gaundicha - Mahaprabhu took all the devotees to the Gaundicha temple as the Rath Yathra was approaching- he begged to be allowed to clean the temple as the Lord was about to enter his temple. Mahaprabhu was esctatically cleaning the temple and the dust accumulated by Mahaprabhu was much more than any other devotee- thus showing his enthusiasm to clean the temple of the Lord.
(first verse of Sikshashtikam)
Before Lord can come into our heart- we should clean our heart- through chanting His Holy Name.
Enthusiasm, Patience and Cleanliness- qualities essential in excelling in devotional service.
Entire progress in our devotional service depends on our enthusiasm to perform.
After dusting the Temple, the Temple was cleansed with water. Thus our hearts should be completely cleansed before being able to make progress in devotional service.
The rath yathra demonstrates how we bring the Lord to his temple- thus through devotional service we bring the Lord into our hearts.
DUring the Rasa Lila Krsna performed rasa with each Gopi, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu was seen dancing in all circles during the Rath Yathra festival.
Krsna- Caitanya Mahaprabhu- Jaganath: all the same - Jaganath is 'drunk' because of the love that Radha Rani has for Krsna encompassed in Caitanya Mahaprabhu.He is intoxicated by the love of Srimati Radharani.
Glories of Krnsa and Balaram was narrated by Yashoda- Krsna and Balaram became esctatic- hence the Jaganath form of Krsna- is most merciful.
He comes out of his temple to give darshan to everyone- he is in esctasy- does not discriminate in his devotees- he is most merciful.
