Just because there is no reason to hate him and there is every reason to love him. He lived his life performing all the roles perfectly.
As a son he was good to his parents – Nanda and Yasodha – who nurtured his childhood. When he left to Madhura to be with his own parents – Vasudeva and Devaki – he convinced Nanda and Yashodha and left. Though he was away from them he maintained better relations with them throughout their life. As he was not with his own parents in his early childhood he spent his remaining life with them taking care of them. So, in all his life he was a ‘perfect son’. He is an ideal not only to me but to everyone in the present society as most of us don’t know how to maintain better relations with our parents.[I am sorry if my statement is wrong]
He also was a perfect lover. He shared true love with the Gopikas in Brindavanam. Many people think he had sex with all of them, but it is mistaken. Bhagavatha says that he used to ‘touch’ them but did not have sex with them. Present day research also claims that partners can share their emotions in a better way by ‘gentle touch’ rather than having frequent sex. This technique Krishna already used and shared true love with all the Gopikas.
These are just few examples. I will quote more examples, whenever necessary, in the coming articles.
Lord Krishna lived his life to the ‘full extent’ performing all the roles a human being has to – a good son, true lover, good adviser, helpful person, guide, … All in all he is a perfect human being. That’s why I love Lord Krishna and he is my ideal.

Mohan,
Indeed ‘Krishna’ was a wonderful man. Everybody likes him…he was the one who taught detachment…he was the one who gave Bhagavad Gita…he was the one who took the responsibility of the Pandavas…whatever the reasons Krishna does inspire me as well…
Sheetal.
