itīdṛk-sva-līlābhir ānanda-kuṇḍe

 sva-ghoṣaṁ nimajjantam ākhyāpayantam

tadīyeśita-jñeṣu bhaktair jitatvaṁ

 punaḥ prematas taṁ śatāvṛtti vande

Those super excellent pastimes of Lord Krsna's babyhood drowned the inhabitants of gokula in pools of ecstasy. To the devotees who are attracted only to His majestic aspect of Narayana in Vaikuntha, the Lord herein reveals: "I am conquered and overwhelmed by pure loving devotion." To the Supreme Lord Damodara, my obeisances hundreds and hundreds of times.

Even if someone is fortunate enough to ask this question, he or she is rarely given a proper and correct answer. In my student life, our teachers used to ask, "Who are you?" and thy would teach us that the answer should be "I am a student"."I am an Indian","I am Oriya","I am Hindu", and so on. These are not our real identities. What is your real identity? Who are you really? We identify ourselves with the body and the things related to the body. But the question remains, are we really the body?
