JANMAASHMITY

JANMAASHMITY

(Birthday of Lord Krishna – incarnation/Manifestation of  God – who gave GITA discourses to the Universe through Arjuna during Mahabhartha War between Cousins).

Lets Contemplate and Brood over the matter with a view to imbibe the Principles of Life and its realization being Immortal on the scientific Law of Centrifugal & Centripetal as understood by Plato and our Vedic Scholars.

Every year we Hindu’s celebrate  JANMAASHMITY with much pomp and show, ado to adore the Birth of Lord Krishna by taking tab lows /Jhankies on vehicles and trolleys driven by Petrol, Diesel and or by other means. Processions are long enough to occupy the main roads putting normal life of our gear and traffic problems have to be managed by State Police and Volunteers of the Organizing committee(s)  but in spite of that it is difficult for students to study for examinations, for patients to have rest in Hospitals and/or even within their own homes, for passengers to reach Railway stations or Buss stands and most importantly for ambulance to shift patients to Hospitals apart from the expenditure incurred for arranging the long processions. I have expressed my views to share the common concern with my fellow devotees of Lord Krishna to ponder over the situation without bias and prejudices but in the correct meaning and spirit of the situation and answer whether all this show and processions is worth while the expenditure and the inconvenience suffered by our sisters and brothers and children ?  Secondly shall it not be beneficial if we honestly IMBIBE the Principles of  Life and realize the ATMA/SPIRIT about which Lord Krishna has said IT IS IMMORTAL AND CANNOT BE DESTROYED but changes it forms. DO WE ACHIEVE THIS  through these long processions????

WHETHER WE HAVE LEARNT ANY GOOD VALUES OF LIFE FROM LIFE OF LORD KRISHNA AND/OR FROM THE EPIC MAHABHARTHA through these costly and trouble some long processions??

FITTEST IS THE SURVIVAL  is the Law of the Nature. King  Kansa brother of Devki  mother of Krishna was told by some astrologers that a child of her sister shall kill him and to save his life he killed all the children of her sister and had put her in Jail when Krishna was due for birth. But destiny  is superior and it manages to happen in spite of all your precautions. We have not learnt this message  and still visit astrologers and/or so called God men to seek some means/Upyas to surpass the destiny. Hence, what use of celebrating Janmaashmati  when we have not to learn any thing from the past history. Is it  not simply a flaunt show and waste of money , Time and Man Power?

SATIRE . Dhropdi had remarked ‘ son of a blind is blind’ and this was one of the causes for the Mahabhartha war.  What we have learnt?  Whether we have stopped satires? NO. and because of that war of Mahabhartha is still being fought in every domestic home. To take revenge on Dhropdi, Kaurvas tried to make her naked in full view of Darbar/ Public. What we have learnt?  Ladies are being molested, made naked and Raped in full public view even today.. Is this lesson we have learnt?  And we say we must be proud of our culture. What culture putting wife on stake in the game of gamble.

Greed for Property: Ever since the known history of Humanity  ZAR (Wealth/Money) ZAMEEN (Land/Property) & JOHRU (WOMAN)  had been, still are and would ever be the three causes for distress, discard, quarrels, fights and wars among people on personal level and/or on national level and the same were at the time of Mahabhartha.  Kurvas did not agree to the wise counseling of Lord Krishna to give Pandavas even five villages out of their lost Estate resulting into the righteous war in spite  of the Power & Position of Lord Krishna since insane people never adhere to the sane advice. Lord Krishna was neither emotional nor sentimental and He advised  Arjuna to fight the righteous war without caring for close relationships because an offender is an offender whether a stranger and/or a kith & kin since body is mortal but soul within is immortal it changes forms just as you change clothes every day. I put the Question to my readers Whether we have learned, Understood and followed the message of immortality of the soul through meditation and realized the divine soul within our body, the functioning ENERGY within you may call it by any name ATMA, PARMATMA OR GOD AND THAT YOUR  BODY IS THE UNIQUE TEMPLE OF GOD WITHIN YOU TO BE WORSHIPED. In case you may realize the supreme wealth within you may not feel the temptation for objective wealth in the form of valuables for life in stead of VALUES OF LIFE.  Since  values of Life have dwindled, Love, regards, affection have vanished people are mad for the above said three causes of unrest, discard in society. Parents and relatives are insulted, abused, abandoned and even killed for the sake of Property and women are molested, abused and raped which does not behoove good for the so called civilized society. Society needs to be educated, cajoled  and made to understand that we all are connected with the Supreme Soul/Atma the segment of which is within us.  We all are beloved children of GOD  and human brotherhood./  Fraternity is our religion and we must Love each other from Heart to Heart and Soul to Soul level for happiness and Ecstasy in life without causing hatred, noise, pollution of any kind injurious  to our health because of superfluous long processions causing hazardous to life.

LIFE IS A MYSTERY TO LIVE WITH LOVE AND PLAY.  Lord Krishna is a multi dimensional personality and each one is us is so. His Life must be imbibed in letter and spirit for harmony in society. He used to perform Leelas with friends including females called gopies. Lord Krishna had two wives Rukmani & Satyabhama as patranies but Radha was his soulmate because of whom he became Lord Krishna from Krishna. Just as a space craft/ rocket has two Engines to produce double energy to enter into levitation zone  from gravitation zone after crossing the buffer zone in the same manner a Sadhak, a spiritualist needs double Energy for the realization of the SELF within and following this scientific method his girl friend proved useful to provide the launching pad by becoming soul mate of Krishna and they both achieved the Divine status and Krishna became Lord Krishna, the Incarnation / manifestation of Divine  omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient ENERGY and  name of Radha is prefixed with his name and worshiped.  This shows that society of that era was bold enough to understand the need of a soul mate and could tolerate and feel at home the dances of Lord Krishna with 1000 plus gopies and every gope felt as merged and melted into the Supreme Soul of Lord Krishna.  I am afraid if the fundamentalists and morel policing people may tolerate in case Lord Kirshna visits now with his soul mate Radha although people do recite their name names as Radha Krishna and/or even Radha Radha to please Lord Krishna. I cannot afford to miss the concept of ARDHNARIISWAR ­  half male + half female merging and mingling of negative & positive energy for the manifestation of Light and/or Divine Light.  I pose a question to my readers whether we have learnt, understood , followed and are prepared to accept the doctrine for self realization by following SPIRITUALITY  rather than the flaunt shows organized by Religion. Reality must be learnt, understood and followed in the best interest of humanity at large and LORD KRISHNA IS THE SUPER HERO OF HUMANITY. WE MUST CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH DAY IN RIGHT PRESPECTIVE. 

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE OCCASION OF JANMAASHTMI TO EVERY DEVOTE OF LORD KRISHNA WHO FOLLOWS AND PRACTICES  AND IMBIBES THE LIFE OF LORD KRISHNA.

 JAI  RADHAKRISHNA  BLESS YOU ALL WITH WISDOM TO ACCEPT LIFE  AS IT COMES  FROM  MOMENT  TO MOMENT AND TO ALWAYS LIVE IN PRESENT. GOD & LIFE ARE NO WHERE  BUT  NOW – HERE A HIFEN MATTERS MOST.
