Krishna Janam Ashtami

The festival of Krishna Janamastami is the celebration of Lord Krishna's Awaraar.

Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is the Purna Kakaki Avataar or most perfect manifestation of God. 

Has anyone felt the divine presence Of Shri Krishna the presence of the lord is in the air?

Heis defending us in our life at all times.  Tell me using your  intelligence?  What will you ask for ok don't tell me.

There is a Kahani that states.....

An old woman was carrying a bundle of dry wood through the forest. 

Somehow or other the bundle, which was very heavy, fell to the ground. She became very disturbed and began to call on God, saying, "God help me." Suddenly God appeared and said, "What do you want?" 

She said, "please help me to put this bundle back on my head." 

So this is our foolishness. When God comes to give benediction, we simply ask Him to load us down again with all these material bundles.  

We have been given hands to work for anything material.

Some they only want in life in fact it's a known fact since ancient times many all they do is ask and ask.

Few who realizes Ask for the lord to bless us so we can be a Blessings to others.

Few ask the lord to keep Honouring him he will honour us.  

Govinda Radhay

As we go through the corridors of life it won't be perfect.
When somebody told me that he has failed in his exams, my question is,

*"Is it a law that you will pass every time?"*

When someone told me that my boyfriend broke up with me, my question is,

*"Is it a rule that you will have successful relationships everywhere?"*

When somebody asked me why am I in depression, my question is,

*"Is it compulsory to have confidence all the time?"*

When someone cried to me about his huge business loss due to his wrong decision, my question is,

*"Is it possible that you take all right decisions?"*


The fact is our expectation that life has to be perfect/permanent is the biggest reason of our unhappiness.

One has to understand the law of impermanence of nature.

After each sunny day, there has to be a dark night, after each birth there have to be certain deaths, for the full moon to come again it has to pass through no moon. 

In this imperfection of nature, there is perfection.

So *stop taking your failures and bad part of your life soooo personally or intensely,* even God does not like to give you pain but its the cycle through which you have to pass. 

Prepare yourself for one more fight after each fall because even failures cannot be permanent...!

The birthday of Krishna falls on the Astami of Krishna Paksh (the eighth day of the dark fortnight) in the month of shravana (August-September).
 
Significance:-
 
There is a tradition among the hindus, that whenever the wicked annoy and persecute the righteous, god undertakes an incarnation, not only to protect them, but also to save the world from destruction, due to their evil deeds.

Yada Yada


Krishna the incarnation of lord vishnu was born with this purpose.


The Story of Krishna Birth...



Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers,appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu.

Prabhu Ji Mere Awo.........



Lord Naraysn assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces. 

One such evil force was Kamsa, the ruler of Mathura (in northern India, now in Uttar Pradesh state) and his people were utterly terrified of him. 

On the day Kamsa's sisterDevaki was married off to Vasudeva, an akashvani or voice from the sky was heard prophesying that Devaki's 8th son would be the destroyer of Kamsa. 

The frightened Kamsa immediately unsheathed his sword to kill his sister but Vasudeva intervened and implored Kamsa to spare his bride, and promised to hand over every new born child to him. Kamsa relented but imprisoned both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.

When Devaki gave birth to her first child, Kamsa came to the prison cell and slaughtered the newborn. In this way, he killed the first six sons of Devaki. Even before her 8th child was born, Devaki and Vasudeva started lamenting its fate and theirs. 

Then suddenly Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said he himself was coming to rescue them and the people of Mathura. He asked Vasudeva to carry him to the house of his friend, the cowherd chief Nanda in Gokula right after his birth, where Nanda's wife Yashoda had given birth to a daughter. 

He was to exchange his boy and bring Yashoda's baby daughter back to the prison. Vishnu assured them that "nothing shall bar your path".

At midnight on ashtami, the divine baby was born in Kamsa's prison. Remembering the divine instructions, Vasudeva clasped the child to his bosom and started for Gokula, but found that his legs were in chains. He jerked his legs and was unfettered! The massiveiron-barred doors unlocked and opened up.
 
While crossing river Yamuna, Vasudeva held his baby high over his head. The rain fell in torrents and the river was in spate. But the water made way for Vasudeva and miraculously a five-mouthed snake followed him from behind and provided shelter over the baby

When Vasudeva reached Gokula, he found the door of Nanda's house open. He exchanged the babies and hurried back to the prison of Kamsa with the baby girl. 

Early in the morning, all the people at Gokula rejoiced the birth of Nanda's beautiful male child. Vasudeva came back to Mathura and as he entered, the doors of the prison closed themselves.When Kamsa came to know about the birth, he rushed inside the prison and tried to kill the baby. 

The seventh child was "Yoga-Maya" who slipped out of the hands of kamsa, warned him of his death.

Lord Sri Krishna said in the Gita: "To protect the righteous, to destroy the sinful and to reinstate morals, I am born again and again in every age"; now, you get a special meaning. In every age, the Lord takes birth on this earth to destroy evil and protect dharma.

Nice story right?  

Adymstic meaning....

If Sri krishna(The lord) has to be discovered in our heart, the mind(Devaki) and Intellect(Vasudev) must integrate.

Six impurities----desire, anger, greed, delusion, intoxication&jealousy must be given up.

One must rise above the spiritual powers(Yoga-maya).  The 7th 

Finally the lord is born and he kills the EGO(Kamsa).

The promise he has made must be fulfilled

The verse in Devanagari script—
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत । 
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥४-७॥ 

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् । 
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥४-८॥

The verse in Roman script—
Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata
Abhythanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham

Paritranaya sadhunang vinashay cha dushkritam
Dharmasangsthapanarthay sambhabami yuge yuge

The meaning of these two slokas is—[1]
Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata,
And there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth ;


For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers, 
For the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age.


Swami Vivekananda's translation—
This is how Swami Vivekananda himself translated the solkas—
 "Whenever virtue subsides and wickedness prevails, I manifest Myself. To establish virtue, to destroy evil, to save the good I come from Yuga (age) to Yuga."

Ramayan says"
jab jab hoi dharam ki hani
badhahi asur adham abhimani
tab tab prabhu dhare vividh
sharira
harhi kripanidhi sajjan pira."

दोहा :-
विप्र धेनु सुर संत हित लीन्ह मनुज अवतार |
निज इच्चा निर्मित तनु माया गुण गोपार ||

Chitta Chora Yashoda Ke Bal Navanitha Chora Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal

Krishna is the stealer of the devotee's heart.
As the child of Yashoda, He stole butter and He held
aloft the Govardhana mountain


Most beautiful stated.  

Radha asked Krishna "Why do people call you a thief? 

Krishna said, "I am a thief and thats why thay call me thief. 

Radha" What do you steal?" 

Krishna said, "when I was babay I stole everyone's heart. 

When I grew a little I stole butter. 

When I grew more I stole Gopis' dresses. 

Now I am in such a love with my devotees that I have started a new kind of stealing. Radha asked, "Whats that?" 

Krishna said ,"Now I steal the sins of the devotees!". 

Radha again asked, "Wow! where are these devotees?" Krishna said, They are all in front of the narrator me that means you are the chosen devotees.
