[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Swami, You said that the real Yoga is to attain the contemporary human incarnation of God. Radha and Gopikas are the real yogis who attained Lord Krishna. But, Radha when born as Meera Bai was confined to idol worship of Lord Krishna and did not meet any contemporary human incarnation of God. This appears like the definition of Yoga is changed as time advances. Kindly enlighten me.]
Swami replied:- Radha is the incarnation of God Shiva and Meera is the incarnation of Radha. This means that Meera is also the incarnation of God Shiva. Shiva is famous and potent for miracles. In the nights, the husband of Meera clearly heard the conversations of Krishna in human form and Meera. There was no freedom for Meera in the strict control of the palace of king. When there is a necessity, certainly miracle takes place. Same Krishna told that He will come as human incarnation whenever there is a need (Yadā yadā hi...—Gītā). The word Yuga also stands for year and generation. In every generation God Krishna (God Datta) comes as human incarnation. Otherwise, God becomes partial in favouring one generation only without reason because every generation contains both deserving and undeserving devotees. Human incarnation existed in the generation of Meera also and the same human incarnation was appearing before Meera every night in the dress of Krishna and was talking with her. God Krishna also told that He will come in human form on the earth (Mānuṣīṃ tanumāśritam). Plenty of human incarnations existed on the earth and I have dealt about the concept of contemporary human incarnation in detail.
