THE TRUE MEANING OF JANMASHTHAMI

Wishing all of you a very Happy Janmashthami !

No one remembers  the girl baby born on the same day who was interchanged with Krishna, a boy baby, to save his life. The boy's life was precious but the girl was born to sacrifice her life. Today is not only the birthday of Krishna but also of Yogamaya. (Jogmaya)

It is said that Yogmaya flew off to Heavens freeing herself from the clutches of Kansa while announcing to Kansa that your killer has been born. Scriptures do not clearly  mention that she too got killed like other siblings of Krishna. However more knowledgeable are requested to throw light on it.

Yogmaya was also an incarnation of Shakti who came to be born along with the incarnation of Lord Vishnu to keep some old promise. When Kansa caught her by her feet and hurled her to the ground, she flew towards the heaven, saying “Kansa, your killer has already taken birth. I could have also killed you but since you caught me by my feet, I take it as your expression of humility and am pardoning you”.

Krishna was born in the darkness of the night, into the locked confines of a jail.

However, at the moment of his birth, all the guards fell asleep, the chains were broken and the barred doors gently opened.

Similarly, as soon as Krishna (Chetna, Awareness) takes birth in our hearts, all darkness (Negativity) fades.

All chains (Ego, I, Me, Myself) are broken.


And all prison doors we keep ourselves in (Caste, Religion, Profession, Relations etc)  are opened. 



And that is the real Message And Essence of Janmashtmi.

  1. प्रभु जी प्रभु की लीला प्रभु ही जाने मुझमें इतनी चेष्टा कहां कि मैं प्रभु के विषय में कुछ कह सकूं ऐसा मूर्ख मैं नहीं जो रचा है प्रभु ने जो उस लीलाधर ने रच दिया है वह रच दिया है वह होकर रहेगा उसमें मैं आप एवं दुनिया का कोई भी व्यक्ति कुछ भी नहीं कर सकता प्रभु की लीला तो प्रभु ही जाने जो होना है वह होकर रहेगा जो हो रहा है उसकी मर्जी से हो रहा है और जो होगा वह भी हमारे प्रभु श्री कृष्ण की मर्जी से होगा वासुदेव श्री कृष्ण की मर्जी से होगा इसमें हम और आप कुछ नहीं कर सकते ना कर सकते हैं इसके ऊपर सूचना विचार करना वह प्रत्येक व्यक्ति का अपना अधिकार है परंतु मुझे लगता है या बहुत ही मूर्खतापूर्ण तर्क है ईश्वर श्री कृष्ण के बारे में व्याख्यान करना बताना पूछना बात करना तो ठीक है परंतु उनकी व्याख्या आज तक इस पृथ्वी पर कोई पैदा नहीं हुआ जो कर सके प्रभु जी यह सत्य है सनातन है और विश्वसनीय है धन्यवाद भगवान श्री कृष्ण के चरणों में मेरा सादर प्रणाम

    1. Apologies if I have hurt your feelings. All that I have tried is to connect Lord Krishna with our various feeling in life. This is what Bhagavat Gita tells us to do. Connect with Him
