pre-Janmastami meditation; real purpose of Lord Krsna’s appearance

During the period of Lord Krsna’s appearance, the killing of asuras or
nonbelievers such as Kamsa and Jarasandha was done by Visnu, who was within
the person of Sri Krsna. Such apparent killing by Lord Sri Krsna took place
as a matter of course and was an incidental activity for Him. But the real
purpose of Lord Krsna’s appearance was to stage a dramatic performance of
His transcendental pastimes at Vrajabhumi, thus exhibiting the highest limit
of transcendental mellow in the exchanges of reciprocal love between the
living entity and the Supreme Lord. These reciprocal exchanges of mellows
are called raga-bhakti, or devotional service to the Lord in transcendental
rapture. Lord Sri Krsna wants to make known to all the conditioned souls
that He is more attracted by raga-bhakti than vidhi-bhakti, or devotional
service under scheduled regulations. It is said in the Vedas (Taittiriya Up.
2.7), raso vai sah: the Absolute Truth is the reservoir for all kinds of
reciprocal exchanges of loving sentiments. He is also causelessly merciful,
and He wants to bestow upon us this privilege of raga-bhakti.
