Bhagawan Krishna: Beyond All Discrimination
Bhagawan Krishna is such an accepting Lord. He doesn’t discriminate on the basis of caste, creed or race. He equally loves all His devotees , regardless of where they come from or what name they call Him by.
Today, we share two soul-touching real-life incidents , the stories of two individuals who came from very different worlds: one, a war-torn Englishman and the other, a humble Muslim clerk from Rajasthan. Both of them found refuge and divine grace in the loving embrace of Krishna. These are not legends , they are events that truly happened. Read on.
Did an Englishman really become a Krishna devotee?
Yes. And his story is one of the most touching you will ever hear.
The Story of Ronald Henry Nixon , Krishna Prema
Ronald Henry Nixon, who later came to be known in India as Krishna Prema, was born in England.When he turned 18, he was pushed into the horror of World War I. Amid the battlefield and gunfire, he miraculously survived. He survived the great horror but that affected him so deeply that he became the very embodiment of trauma.
Despite all efforts, Ronald never fully recovered from the horror. The violence had scarred his spirit. Seeking answers, he turned inward. He went on to study at Cambridge University, and it was there that he first came across Sanatana Dharma , the eternal path taught by the Vedas.
Something shifted inside him. The philosophies of India offered what no therapy could , a promise of inner peace and spiritual clarity. Compelled by this new hope, Ronald left behind his western life and journeyed east. And eventually, he found himself in Vraja , the divine land of Sri Krishna’s pastimes.
There, he was no longer Ronald. He became Krishna Prema , a soul fully surrendered to the Lord.
He didn’t just serve Krishna formally , he loved Him like a little brother. That’s how intimate his bhava was.
One day, Krishna Prema prepared pudding as bhog for the Lord. Following tradition, he pulled down a curtain for the Lord to eat in private. After some time, when he lifted the curtain, his hands trembled , the pudding had tiny finger marks on it, like a small child had joyfully scooped some.
His eyes welled up with tears. For someone to whom Krishna was not an idol but a living, breathing younger brother , this was a moment of divine reciprocation. This was Krishna’s playful reply to his devotion.
The Night Bhagawan Krishna Called Out to Him
Every night in winter, Krishna Prema had a routine , he would lovingly put the Lord to sleep, wrap Him with a blanket, and then rest outside the small hermitage.
One night, as he lay resting, a soft cry echoed through the silence: “Ho Dada! Ho Dada!”
He sat up , startled.
Again the cry: “Ho Dada!”
He rushed inside the temple. And then he saw , in his fatigue, he had forgotten to cover the Lord with a blanket. His Thakurji was shivering.
Tears filled Krishna Prema’s eyes. He lovingly rushed and wrapped the Lord. With his voice choked in emotion, he asked softly, “Do you also feel cold?”
At that moment, the Lord couldn’t hold back. He began to weep.
Yes, the Lord wept.
And so did Krishna Prema. He sobbed bitterly, holding onto the feet of his beloved Krishna. That very night, in the depths of divine emotion, Krishna Prema’s soul gently left his body and merged into Krishna.
He had come from a different land, a different race, a different religion. But to Krishna, none of that mattered. Only love did.
Did Bhagawan Krishna appear to a Muslim devotee?
Yes. And not only did He appear , He served him.
The Story of Taj Khan and Lord Madan Mohan
In Rajasthan’s Karoli Nagar, the deity of Madan Mohan , a beautiful form of Krishna , is deeply revered. The residents sing His praises and adore His divine form.
Taj Khan was a Muslim clerk working in the town. One day, on official duty, he was asked to deliver a message to the temple Goswami of Madan Mohanji’s shrine.
Due to temple customs, non-Hindus were not allowed inside. So Taj Khan stood outside and called for the priest. But then, his eyes happened to fall upon Madan Mohan.
That one glance changed everything.
Something stirred within. He lost track of time, his eyes fixed on Krishna’s form. When the priest finally arrived, Taj Khan snapped back to reality, delivered the message, and left.
But the seed had been sown.
Krishna had trapped his heart in divine love.
From that day onward, Taj Khan would secretly return to the temple gate just to catch a glimpse of Madan Mohan. Out of fear, he never stepped in. Yet the desire only grew.
When the Goswami got wind of this, he warned the staff to keep Taj Khan out.
Eventually, a temple guard pushed him away. The humiliation crushed him. Back home, he stopped eating. Day and night, he wept in longing. Krishna had awakened a fire in his heart , and now separation was unbearable.
Krishna’s Personal Visit
Seeing His devotee suffer, Krishna could no longer stay still.
That night, after the temple was closed and the evening arati had ended, Krishna assumed the form of a temple servant.
He carried a plate of prasad and went straight to Taj Khan’s house.
Smiling, He said, “Goswamiji has sent this for you. Please accept it. Tomorrow, return the plate to the temple.”
Taj Khan couldn’t believe it. How could this be? Still, he accepted the prasad joyfully.
As Krishna left, He had fulfilled His promise: “To My devotee, I carry what they lack and preserve what they have.”
That very night, Krishna appeared in the Goswami’s dream and declared:
“I have given My own plate to Taj Khan. Tomorrow, he will return it. Do not stop him.”
When the Goswami woke up, he was stunned to see the plate missing. He rushed to the King of Karoli, narrated the entire incident, and both of them hurried to the temple.
And just as Krishna had said , Taj Khan returned with the same plate.
Everyone stood frozen.
The king, overcome with reverence, embraced Taj Khan.
The temple, once rigid in custom, now rang with the praises of a devotee who, despite not being born into the tradition, had become the recipient of Krishna’s personal grace.
Even today, Karoli’s evening arati includes a song in his honor:
Tāj bhakta muslim pe prabhu tuma dayā karī,
bhojana le ghara pahuñce dīna-dayāla hari.
ताज भक्त मुस्लिम पे प्रभु तुम दया करी,
भोजन ले घर पहुँचे दीन दयाल हरि।
Does Krishna see religion or race?
Clearly not.
To Krishna, the only qualification is love. A heart full of surrender is dearer to Him than any ritual, any costume, or even any tradition. When a soul calls out to Him sincerely, Krishna listens.
Whether it’s Ronald from England or Taj Khan from Rajasthan, Krishna doesn’t discriminate , He responds with affection. Because Krishna is not owned by any religion , He is owned by love.
And wherever there is humility, longing, and selfless surrender , He manifests.
What do these stories teach us about devotion?
They teach us that true devotion has no label. That bhakti doesn’t depend on where you were born or what you wear. It’s about your intention, your longing, and your love.
Even if the world doesn’t accept you, Krishna does. And when He does , miracles unfold.
In both stories, Krishna did what even close friends wouldn’t do , He ran to His devotees. So if you ever feel like you’re not worthy, or that you’re too far from God , remember this:
You don’t need a perfect background to be loved by Krishna. You just need a sincere heart.
And Krishna , the most loving, beautiful, accepting Lord , will come to you, just as He came to them. Let the world divide. Let opinions clash.
But Krishna?
He simply loves. Always. Unconditionally.
What Makes Sanatana Dharma So Compassionate?
Sanatana Dharma , the eternal way , doesn’t ask for your background, your family name, or your place of birth. It asks just one thing: Do you want the truth?
And if you do, it opens its arms , fully.
Unlike rigid systems that demand conversion or bloodline, Sanatana Dharma has always believed in inclusion through realization. If a person, in any part of the world, truly longs for the Divine, then the Divine will make His way to them , even if they’ve never heard of the Vedas.
That is why a young English soldier, broken by war, could be embraced by the bhakti of Vraja. That is why a humble Muslim clerk from Rajasthan could receive prasad directly from the Lord Himself.
Sanatana Dharma doesn’t turn people away , it awakens them.
Even the Bhagavad Gita says:
“Those who worship Me with unwavering devotion, one must consider him to be righteous, for his resolve is just”
What kind of philosophy says this?
A philosophy where no one is beyond redemption, where a person’s future is not defined by their past, but by the depth of their present longing.
That’s the greatness of this path. It doesn’t enforce – it invites. It doesn’t label – it liberates.
And once someone enters this ocean, even the smallest drop of sincerity can earn the glance of God.
Why Does Krishna Respond So Deeply to Devotion?
Because Krishna is not a king sitting on a throne , He’s a friend, a beloved, a brother, and a parent. He laughs, He plays, He cries, and when His devotee is in pain , He feels it.
Look at both these stories. The divine doesn’t just bless from a distance. He walks, runs, and even changes His form to respond to His devotee’s call.
Why?
Because Krishna doesn’t wait for the perfect. He rushes toward the genuine.
This is the essence of Sanatana Dharma , it’s relational. God isn’t a judge ticking boxes, He’s a companion looking at your heart.
When Krishna saw Ronald treating Him like a little brother, playing with Him, crying with Him , He responded.
When Krishna saw Taj Khan aching for one glimpse, starving in love, being rejected for no fault of his , He couldn’t stop Himself. He ran to his door like a caring mother who hears her child cry in the dark.
That’s who Krishna is. That’s who Sanatana Dharma reveals Him to be. He doesn’t ask for perfect rituals. He asks for a heart that is real. And when that heart beats with love, He comes. Through walls. Through customs. Through time.
So if there’s one message here, it is this: Never doubt your place in Krishna’s world. You don’t need a Sanskrit name or a Hindu surname. If your soul cries out to Him, He listens. That’s not a belief. That’s the truth , witnessed across lifetimes.
Is Sanatana Dharma Capable of filling the Void of Human Love?
There comes a time in many lives when human love begins to feel… unreliable. Fickle. Incomplete. No matter how much we give, something stays missing. Even the most beautiful relationships carry their share of pain, expectations, and misunderstanding.
People come with their wounds. And sometimes, they leave us with more.
This is where Sanatana Dharma becomes a refuge. Because it doesn’t offer temporary bonds , it offers eternal relationship.
In this path, love is not borrowed from the world. It is discovered within, in relation to the Divine.
What Ronald and Taj Khan experienced was not ordinary emotion. It was not even devotion in the limited sense. It was real, soul-born love , where the Lord was not a distant deity, but a family member. A caretaker. A companion.
Krishna didn’t just return their love , He fulfilled it.
In a world that keeps letting us down, here is a path where God says:
“You don’t have to earn My love. You just have to feel it.”
And the more we give our heart to Krishna, the less we feel the ache of being misunderstood, abandoned, or unseen. Because He sees us always. Even when the world turns away.
Conclusion: Why Krishna’s Love Ends the Need for External Validation
Taj Khan wasn’t allowed into the temple. Ronald was a foreigner. But both of them were lifted above society’s rules. Not because they fought back , but because Bhagawan saw their hearts.
That is the promise of Krishna.
He doesn’t come to those who fit in. He comes to those who surrender.
And once He enters, the emptiness that we keep trying to fill with people, approval, or achievements , it starts to disappear. Not because we no longer need love , but because we’ve finally found its source.
This is the love that doesn’t break, doesn’t cheat, doesn’t disappear. It is pure, total, eternal.
Sanatana Dharma doesn’t ask us to abandon human love. But it teaches us not to be dependent on it for our self-worth, for our fulfillment, or for our peace.
Because once you have tasted the nectar of divine relationship, you’ll know , there is no comparison.
There is a major Take away here.
Divine love is not for sages or saints alone. It is universal. It’s for anyone whose heart calls out in pain, in longing.Whether you’re broken or blooming, poor or privileged, outcast or celebrated , if you cry with longing, Krishna listens.
And when He comes… everything changes. If this touched your heart, share it. Someone, somewhere, might be waiting for Krishna’s love , just like Ronald and Taj Khan once were.
