Wish You A Happy Sri Krishna Janmashtami 2016
More than 5200 years have passed
since the birth of Lord Krishna, and yet every year Janmashtami brings with it
ever new joy. Those who have realized their blissful nature are not subject to
the confines of lime. Lord Krishna’s presence was giving cheer, bliss and joy
when he was living; however, his
Janmashtami and His memory are still equally capable of imparting cheers, bliss
and joyous life to us even after 5.000 years of
His physical existence.
Believe
it
or, not it is fact that man, does need joy
If you fail to realize the joy of
the inner Self, you will try to derive joy from drinking tea. Coffee or some
other drink: but drink you must, for you simply can’t do without it. Once you
get real joy, you will abstain from fake ones. Following this principle, Lord
Krishna attracted all towards real joy.
There is an episode in the Srimad
Bhagavata. Nanda baba was caught by a python. The male and female cowherds beat
it with their burning torches
but the python would not release. In utter exasperation Nanda baba remembered
Lord Krishna Who came to the spot and touched the head of the python with his
foot.
This brought about the emancipation of the
python which instantly appeared in his true form and said: “I was a Vidyadhara
(demigod) named Sudarshan. I had ridiculed the Rishis of the lineage of Angira Muni. So I as cursed by them to be
born as a python because I had behaved just like a python towards them, as I
prayed to them for mercy. They said: ‘When Lord Krishna incarnates on the
earth, when lie touches I us holy foot to your head, you will be emancipated.”
The incarnation of Lord Krishna is
the one that makes the saints’ words come true. Gives joy to devotees and
infuses courage, valour and strength in them and challenges the vicious
perpetrators of injustice.
The
incarnation of Lord Krishna inspires us that although your spiritual
discipline.
Vrata.
and
philosophical outlook is good you should
be prepared
to put aside your narrow circles of family
and neighbourhood when you have
to serve society.ihc god ‘for the good of the many. for the
happiness of the many’.
Personal
good should
be denied to doing good to the family,
and that should be denied for the good of the neighbourhood.
Good of the neighbourhood should be sacrificed
for the good of the village which should be sacrificed for the good of the State.
And for the good of the nation, deny the good of the state and we should not give much importance even to our
national interests compared to the good of entire humanity. And
Maharaj!
When it comes to marching
ahead on the path of attaining the Lord of the world, even the entire
world is negligible; do give preference to your outlook of considering the Lord
of the world to be the ultimate essence.
Japa
done on the day of Janmashtami gives infinitely
more results than that done on other days. Keeping vigil all night of Janmashtami while doing Japa meditation etc. has a special significance which is
recommended . It is mentioned
in the Bhavishya Purana & that the
vrata of Janmashtami prevents untimely death. No case of miscarriage takes
place in the house of those
who observe the Vrata of Janmashtami.
The Ekadashi Vrata is
actually a wonderful divine boon that
Destroys thousands and millions of
sins, while the vrata of a single
Janmashtami is equal
to thousands of Ekadashi Vratas in producing meritorious results.
One should be more self-restrained
on Janmashtami day than on Ekadashi days.
Dining out is like taking poison
for a Sadhaka; but on
Janmashtami, one ought to refrain from gluttony. Avoid taking tea, breakfast or any cooked food
available in the market.
Rather. You should drink the
spiritual nectar of fasting on this day. You take food and water every day;
today you savour the divine joy and swallow the ego.
