Krishna Has Special Attraction for His Devotees
 


Although Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and is therefore not partial to anyone, it is stated in Bhagavad-gīta that He has special attraction for a devotee who worships His name in love and affection. When Krishna was on this planet, one devotee expressed his feeling in this way:

"My dear Lord, if You had not appeared on this planet, then the asuras [demons] and atheists would have surely created havoc against the activities of the devotees. I cannot imagine the magnitude of such devastation prevented by Your presence."

From the very beginning of His appearance, Krishna was the greatest enemy of all demoniac persons, although Krishna's enmity toward the demons is actually comparable to His friendship with the devotees. This is because any demon who is killed by Krishna receives immediate salvation.

 --His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 22
