Zodiac signs blessed the most by Lord Krishna
Lord Krishna is one of the most loved lord by all Krishna devotees,, who believe in his ideology and have followed Krishna Gyan by reading bhagvad Gita. There are certain zodiac signs, who are favorite to Lord Krishna and here in this article we will discuss those zodiac signs who are blessed by Lord Krishna and why so let's move ahead and check out: Zodiac signs that are blessed by Lord Krishna: Taurus Taureans are ruled by Venus and the people who are associated with this zodiac sign are ruled by Rohini Nakshatra, which are truly blessed by Lord Krishna as Krishna was born under this Nakshatra and these people are little mischievous and royal personality like Lord Krishna. Cancer Cancerians are ruled by Moon and these people are also connected to Lord Krishna because they are water sign. As Lord Vishnu resides under water so the Lord have a deep connection with them. These people have a high intuitive quality, nurturing, sensitive and emotional. Gemini Gemini people are ruled by Mercury and they have a childlike quality like Ladoo Gopal and knowledgeable like an adult Lord Krishna. Gemini's are also blessed by Lord Krishna as they possess dual personality like a small kid and other one is fully matured so sometimes it is very difficult to understand them. Leo Leos are ruled by Sun or Lord Surya and in Hinduism people call Lord Surya as "Surya Narayan Bhagwan" so when Narayan name associated with them that means they ruled by the Lord. Leo's bold quality aligns with Krishna's philosophical teachings, particularly given to Arjuna during Mahabharata Yuddha. Aquarius Aquarians are ruled by Saturn. They are extremely spiritual and they believe in following a path of righteousness. The distinctly altruistic nature of Aquarians is consistent with Krishna's teachings on justice, equality, and love. They are often inspired to spread Krishna's message by serving others and advocating for universal well-being. These are the above mentioned zodiac signs that are blessed by Lord Krishna but that does not mean that you can not be in the list as it totally depends upon how you believe in Krishna and the way you follow his teachings. Anyone can be his favorite but they need to understand the lessons given by Lord Krishna in Bhagvad Gita such as following the path of dharma or righteousness, focus on your karma, live life ethically, and have a deep faith in the supreme power.
