A mystic land where the myriad occult of greatly omnipotent Gods and goddesses was not only worshipped but celebrated magnanimously. It wasn't just these Divine forms that were exceptional but the mortals who worshipped and adored them were cordially gifted with unusual mystical powers beyond the limitation of the usual human beings.
There are immemorial and immortal folklore and Vedic legacies about each point of this land which had the privilege to get blessed with the footsteps of mystical sages, demigods, God and Goddess as well the Supreme Lord(Sat-chit-ananda) himself. These omnipotent, and all-pervading forms are present everywhere in their formless potencies but in this motherland, they bore divine forms since ancient times and Legends assuredly say they'll be the only ones to remain standing at the end of the Universe and beyond...
The very concept that the all-powerful Supreme Person is unaware of His Godhood, fears His mother, and plays mischievously with His friends is universally delightful.
A number of the childhood pastimes of God Krishn, who by the act of His own spiritual potency, forgets that He is God and plays like an ordinary child.
These pastimes are described in India's ancient scriptures, which state that although God is infinite, unlimited, and inconceivable, He is ultimately a person. He manifests in many forms and is mostly worshiped with great reverence. In His original and topmost feature, however, He inspires such intimate, sweet affection in the heart of his dear devotees that, although He enacts astonishing pastimes, both He and they remain unaware of His Godhood.
