Salutations to Lord Krishna who is adorned with the sacred marks musk on his forehead and Kaustubha jewel on His chest, His nose is decorated with a shining pearl, the Palms are gently holding a flute, the Hands themselves are beautifully decorated with bracelets, His whole body is smeared with sandal paste as if playfully anointed, and His neck is decorated with a necklace of pearls, He is surrounded by the cowherd woman, Lord Gopala is shining in the middle and is like a jewel on the Head.
The significance of Lord Krishna has continued to gain more importance over the last several generations. His hypnotic eyes, his bravery, his cleverness, his love, his virtues, the tasks he accomplished etc., can’t be put down in some pages. If we listen to the preaching of any saint, they mostly teach that to attain completeness, to attain the state of Nirvana, one must live an ascetic life. They often preach this world as an illusion. However, if we ask them if they worship Lord Krishna, if they consider Him as a God, if they consider Him as Brahma, then the same Krishna never lived an ascetic life, rather he always followed the path of Karma. Even though he lived his life in full joy and prosperity, yet He is called as Yogeshwar.
The biggest yogi in this world is none other than a householder as he continuously walks on his path holding all the worldly ties together, still involved in the sadhanas and worshiping Gods. One who has understood Lord Krishna, one who has been able to assimilate the knowledge of Gita, for sure, the person has become a yogi in life. At the end of Gita, it is mentioned that where there is Lord Krishna, where there is Arjuna carrying out the Karmas, there exists Yogeshwar Shri Krishna, there exists victory, there exists prosperity and virtues.
Lord Krishna is not just someone who should be understood via Bhakti Marg. He is the epitome of power, ethics, virtues, prosperity and one can understand Lord Krishna properly only if he can understand all His traits. Lord Krishna gave us the preaching that one doesn’t need to be an ideal of virtues and moralities, but our behavior should be tough towards the bad people and should be lovable towards the virtuous people. Not only this, but he was also the one who laid down the foundation of modern world politics.
He was born at midnight when there was utter darkness, this was an indication that when there is utter darkness, a divine light will soon appear. Lord Krishna’s incarnation day comes every year with the message that there is a limit to pain and suffering too. This day is highly suitable for performing various Shastrokt, Tantrokt and Mantrokt sadhanas and sadhaks must take full advantage of this auspicious time.
Special sadhanas related to Lord Krishna can be found in secret texts like Gautamiya Tantra, Sharda Tilak and Kram Deepika. Gautamiya Tantra mentions that one can attain both prosperity and nirvana by performing sadhanas of Lord Krishna with full dedication. Below are four sadhanas related to Lord Krishna which touches on the four different aspects of human life. Based on the desires, some sadhaks perform all the four sadhanas of Lord Krishna in a single night and some perform the one that can fulfill their most seek desire. However, it is a fact that any sadhana of Lord Krishna doesn’t go in vain.
Hypnotic Madhav Procedure

Sit on a yellow mat facing east. Take a wooden plank and cover it with yellow cloth.
