We are going to celebrate Krishna Janmashtmi the appearance day of Lord Krishna. Most of the people get confused about birth and activities of Lord Krishna.
That is not even surprising because only intelligent people who has done pious activities in their past life only that person can understand Krishna.
बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते ।
वासुदेव: सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभ: ॥7.19॥
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
The main purpose to appear Krishna in this material world is not to kill only demons but to establish religious principle and destroy demonic activities.
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥4.7॥
Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion – at that time I descend Myself.
But those activities can be done very easily by Krishna sitting at His abode. But his aim is to give His mercy to their devotees and kill demons who try to torture His pure devotees.
परित्राणाय साधुनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थानार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥4.8॥
To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium.
Even birth and activities of Krishna is not like us but its pure transcendental and divine. Very few people knows about this fact but who knows it, go home back to Godhead.
जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ।
त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति मामेति सोऽर्जुन ॥4.9॥
One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.
Let's pray to Krishna on His appearance day to shower His mercy upon us.
Happy Krishna Janmashtmi.
