The glory of Sri Krishna is that he has been the greatest preacher of our eternal religion and the best commentator on the Vedanta that ever lived in India. In the Gita we hear the distant sound of the conflict of sects, and Lord Krishna comes in the middle to harmonize them all; He, the great teacher of harmony, Lord Sri Krishna. He says, "In Me they are all strung like pearls in a thread".Shri (Devanagari: श्री, IAST; Śrī), also transliterated as Sree or Sri or Shree is a word of Sanskrit origin, used in the Indian subcontinent as a polite form of address equivalent to the English "Mr." or "Ms." in written and spoken language, or as a title of veneration for deities (usually translated as "Holy"). wiki
This is from a booklet titled "Thus Spake Sri Krishna". So if India's greatest preacher and the best commentator teaches about harmonious living, why do Indians have the caste system? Why did they did disobey Sri Krishna?
It means that the Indian leaders in the past did not believe in harmony so they look for teachings that serve them well to take advantage of their high position, power and influence.
After some years, Krishna felt the call of a new mission and came to Dwaraka. He entrusted the government to his kinsmen, the Vrishnis. Through Himself a famous warrior, a wise statesman, an intelligent diplomat, he never occupied a throne. He conquered many kingdoms, but gave them over to the others. He was often seen in the midst of intense activity, but he remained always calm and unattached.
