What ever U said is absolutely right. Its not that I doubt the existance of GOD but I just want to learn from someone who have actually seen him. He only can give the best advice about how to practice to see Lord Krishna.
Unfortunately I could not get someone ...

There are so many instances in devotees life where the Lord does come directly or indirectly.I had also experienced many times in my life ,though not with naked eyes but in my dreams whenever i longed to see His transcendental form.He used to come in my dreams sometimes with the Chaturbhuj roop or sometimes in His bal swaroop.
The Supreme Lord gives His darshan to devotees according to their level of devotional pursuit.As seen in Narada's past life,when he was performing penance to get the darshan of the Lord;he could only hear Lord's voice in his heart saying that he would get to see Him only in his next life when His penance would reach its pinnacle.However, there are instances where the Lord has given darshan to devotees who did not do any penance at all.
Perhaps what God wants from his devotees is longing for Him and only Him.And He reciprocates to the devotee's feelings according to that level.
There goes this famous incident in the life of Swami Vivekananda wherein a devotee asks Swamiji to tell him how he can see God.Then Swamiji takes him to the river and pulls his head into the water.The person apparently shocked cries out desperately to release him out of the water.After some time when Swamiji leaves him,he asks why he did like that,then Swamiji asks the person how he had felt during that time.The person replies that at that instant ,he longed desperately to get out of the waters and he desired nothing more.Then,Swamiji says if anyone had atleast a fraction of that longing for the perception of the Lord,then the Supreme Lord could never stop Himself from coming to give his devotee His darshan or whatever his desire.
All the chanting and other devotional practice that we do is to develop that longing for Him and it often takes many lifetimes to attain that.
Please forgive in case of any mistakes,i said this out of my experience.
Jai jai Nitai Gaurang,
Hare krishna.
