Where there is Krishna there is Yamunaji. She is like Krishna. Krishna is black as is Yamunaji. Krishna is king of kings. So Yamunajiis Queen of Queens. This is the belief of Pushtimarg. Krishna was born in Mathuraon the bank of Yamuna. He performed his Bal-Leelain Gokulon the bank of Yamuna. He performed his Rasleelain Brindavanand killed kaliya. He used to play with Gopisin water. Yamunajiis very much loved by Krishna, hence she is beloved of Krishna. Krishna is Lord of Yamunaand Yamunajiis lordless of Krishna. That is why both are loved by Vaishnavs. Krishna is manmohan of Yamuna. Yamunajihas come to earth to be holy and sacred. She is sister of “Niyamak” who keeps account of human beings good and bad deeds. He who takes water of Yamuna becomes the son of Yamuna. How can the mother torture his child and hence he who takes bath in Yamuna should not be afraid of Yam. Bhakti Bhavs image is the meaning of Yamuna.
