Very many thanks to her    )

Lord  Krishna  is called  “Kannan “ in Tamil  .Kannan really  means “He who is like a eye  “ and  I translate  the name   as “Darling boy.”

What is the   difference  between “Krishna “ and  “Darling boy”?   When some  one   was asked   this question he told “Only  age”

1.Kanna (darling child)   robbed   the saris  of Gopis,

And sat  on a tree  and made  them,

Come out   and beg for it  .

Lord Krishna   gave  , ever flowing Sari,

To Panchali   when   some one tried ,

To snatch her    Saris and protected her.

2.Kanna  (Darling child)  was forever  ,

Troubling his mother    as well  as Gopis,

By stealing  butter, breaking pots   and so on,

But Lord Krishna advised people  in Gita,

That  theft    for  any reason  is a sin,

And should    be avoided at all times

Hope  you understand  , Kanna ,

Is  the mischievous   darling  babe  ,

And Lord Krishna   ia    god like gentleman,

Who did  and also advised the  right  things
