कृष्णाष्टमी (२)

KRISHNAASHTAMEE(2), 22,08,2011.
To-day is Krishnaashtamee, the birth day of Lord Krishna. We call him ‘Yogeeshwar- god of saints’. He is perfect God. Ram adopted ‘maryaada-dignity’, Parasuram anger, Buddha ‘samyakatwa-appropriateness’, Mahaveer-‘ahinsa-non violence’; but, Krishna is all-rounder. He is the collection of climaxes in all fields.
He is yogeeshwar. He is also called Achyut-one who has not fallen. Even though, dancing, playing and singing among infinite Gopies (milkwomen), he was away from kaamvikaar (gender-feeling).
‘Jaakee rahee bhaavanaa jaisee, prabhu moorat dekhee tin taisee.’ Devotees see their deities, Saints yogeeshwar and wicked persons get darsan of Yamraaj (god of death) in him.
He preaches all Yogas (Karma-yog, Sankhya-yog, Bhakti-yog, Gyan-yog, Dhyan-yog etc). Gita is the nucleus of Vedas and world’s best book where we see all solutions. This very great book has come direct from the mouth of the Lord Himself and hence there is no pollution-‘Geetaa sugeetaa kartabyaa kimanyaih shastravistaraih. Yaa swayan padmanaabhasya mukhpadmaadwinihsrita.’ Some people say that Geetaa is only for sanyasins and fearing for this very alarm, they forbid their children to read this book. They fear that their sons would be sanyasins and leave home. But, they should think that by getting the knowledge from the book, Arjun who had once refused to fight with his cousins, fought the battle Mahabharata, won it and became a good grihastha (a married person living with his family and indulged in worldly matter for the maintenance of the family). Then, how the adverse result can come by reading this book.
Some say that Geeta provokes violence because by hearing this book Arjun became ready to fight the battle Mahabharata. Gandhijee was the devotee of truth and non-violence. His ideal book was Gita. He always got inspirations from the book. Whenever, he did not find solution of any problem, he read the book and got immediate solution. The battle may be taken as to fight against evils. If I kill all my evils, what is harm in it? Will it be called violence if I get rid of my all bad habits? It is like punishing robbers, kidnapers, rapists, terrorists, killers etc; which should be called good and proper but not violence.-----------Ohm Namo Ramanay.
