Shri Krishna Janmashthami - A Celebration of Bliss

Janmashtami is celebrating the birth of Bliss. It is the day when that divine joy became manifest in the form of Lord Krishna the one who is always blissful. God incarnated as Krishna to charm humanity by his pranks, his play, his song and sweetness, and to show man the path of love and how-to live-in love. Krishna's advent signifies the dispelling of darkness, the removal of troubles, the banishing of ignorance and the teaching of mankind of the supreme wisdom. It is an occasion for us to strengthen ourselves spiritually. .

Shri Sathya Sai Baba in one of messages said offer the prasad of “Nonviolence as the rice, dedication as the flour, expiation the raisins, repentance the sugar. Mix all these well with virtue the ghee. Become like the flute. Let the breath of Krishna pass through you, making delightful music that melts hearts. Surrender yourself to Him and become hollow, inclination-less, egoless, desireles then, He Himself will come and pick you up caressingly and apply you—the flute—to His lips and blow His sweet breath through you. Allow Him to play whatever song He likes. The Lord is all love. He has no hatred in Him”

As the Gita concludes, where Krishna and Arjuna are together, i.e., where Divine Grace and human effort go together, there is prosperity, victory and happiness.
