Why Does Krishna Come Here?

In his purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter Three, Text 12 Srila Prabhupada explains why Lord Sri Krishna comes to this world:

"The descent of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is very purposeful. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said that one who knows the truth about Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s descent and His various activities is at once liberated and does not have to fall again to this existence of birth and death after he leaves his present material body. In other words, one who factually understands Kṛṣṇa makes his life perfect. Imperfect life is realized in material existence, in five different relationships we share with everyone within the material world: neutrality, servitorship, friendship, filial love and amorous love between husband and wife or lover and beloved. These five enjoyable relationships within the material world are perverted reflections of relationships with the Absolute Personality of Godhead in the transcendental nature. That Absolute Personality, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, descends to revive the five eternally existing relationships. Thus He manifests His transcendental pastimes in Vraja so that people may be attracted into that sphere of activities and leave aside their imitation relationships with the mundane. Then, after fully exhibiting all such activities, the Lord disappears."

So let us take full advantage of Krishna's sweet mercy by fully surrendering to Him and thus becoming qualified to rejoin Him in the spiritual world according whichever type of eternal relationship we have with Him.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Desire to Serve Krishna in a Particular Rasa

If a person has a deep desire to serve Krishna in a particular rasa but he's not purified yet, and when he's purified he finds out he's not in the rasa he once wished to be in, will Krishna take his previous desire into account?

First Deserve, then Desire

Dear Anonymous:

He will no longer be even slightly interested in his previous desire. The bona fide spiritual master instructs his disciples not to desire a particular rasa. “First deserve, then desire.” The proper mood is to only desire complete total surrender to Krishna, nothing else. If one has another desire, he will not attain spiritual perfection. He will remain suffering in the cycle of repeated birth and death. If you want to become qualified to attain your original rasa with Krishna, I will train you.
