JANMASTHAMI

On the day of Janmasthami(The day when Lord Krishna took birth)Celebrated at Lake Gardens Ashram on 24th August.

Bhagavan explained the character of Lord Sri Krishna. He told that Krishna is not just the God to love, but when required He punished His waives also, as once they insulted Rishi Astabakra. So after years when His wives on the way to Hastinapur escorted by Arjun, few dacoits attacked them and insulted Krishna’s wives. Arjun, the greatest fighter of that time, couldn’t even lift his famous bow-Gandiv, as if he had no strength in him to fight the dacoits. He could not protect the wives of Sri Krishna. He was shattered with the incident. It was not known to him that the power of his actually was the power of Krishna Himself. This gave us lesson that behind everything there is a power of God. We pray Him but when He blesses we think that it’s our power and all creativity is done by us. Thus Krishna gave many demonstrations to be the perfect in the world.

Bhagavan also told another story. It is like this: - Arjun's grand son-Parikshit was dead when he took birth. He was the last person in that dynasty to rule. So everyone went to Lord Krishna so that Parikshit become alive again. Sri Krishna told that if someone with real celibacy touches Parikshit he will be alive again. There were many saints were present but no one has guts to do as no one has that confident on real celibacy. Then The Lord Krishna Himself came forward to touch Parikshit to give him life. Thus Parikshit got life again.

So Bhagavan told that the Love of Avatar is not like the love of this world which is only for physical pleasure but it has that potential to submerge someone deep into Samadhi-the Perfect Bliss. Krishna had 100 wives still He was a Brahmachary-with perfect celibacy. The Love of an Avatar makes one immerged into samadhi. Make one to feel tranquility.

So we get both the aspect of Love and War in Lord Krishna.So don’t just worship Him but make Him your ideal.
