My heartfelt congratulations to all the devotees of Lord Krishn
in the entire globe at this great occasion of Krishnjanmashtami
which is being celebrated as the day of HIS manifestation
with deep devotion, dedication and total surrender to HIM.

Lord Krishn’s one of the most prominent teaching in Chapter Four, Verse Six of Bhagavad Gita is:

अजोऽपि सन्नव्ययात्मा भूतानामीश्वरोऽपि सन् ।
प्रकृतिं स्वामधिष्ठाय संभवाम्यात्ममायया ॥४–६॥

ajo’pi sann avyayātāmā
bhūtānām īśvaro’pi san,
prakṛtim svām adhiṣṭhāya
sambhavāmy ātmamāyayā (6)

“Although imperishable, birthless, and God of all beings,
I manifest myself subduing the materialistic world of nature
by the mysterious power of atm-maya.’’

Lord Krishn is imperishable, birthless, and pervading the breath of all beings,
but he is manifested when he restrains materialistic attachments by atm-maya.
One kind of maya is the moral ignorance that makes one accept the reality of the material world,
and
which is the cause of rebirth in low and inferior forms.
The other maya is that which Sri Krishn calls yog-maya, of which we are unaware.
This is the maya of Self that provides access to the Soul and leads to awareness of the Supreme Spirit.
It is by the operation of this yog-maya
that
Lord Krishn subdues his three-propertied nature and manifests himself.

People usually say that they will have a vision of God
when he manifests himself through an incarnation.
According to Lord Krishn, however, there is no such incarnation as may be seen by others.
God is not born in a corporal form.
It is only by gradual stages that he controls his three-propertied nature
by
the exercise of yog-maya and manifests himself.

There is one more important teaching of Lord Krishn in Chapter Four, Verse Eleven of Bhagavad Gita
which I feel like sharing with entire globe in the present scenario
when the entire humanity is crying because of life threat of Covid-19.
I can not express the intensity of divine intuition which is inspiring me to share
that
in spite of all our scientific efforts to come out from this severe crisis,
it is very much required now to pray to God
with a heavy heart in our hands, tear full eyes with full of devotion, dedication and total surrender
now to get manifested, shower HIS grace and save us
from this great misery which can not be afforded further.

Lord Krishn sings in Chapter Four, Verse Eleven of Bhagavad Gita:

ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस्तथैव भजाम्यहम् ।
मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ॥४–११॥

ye yathā mām prapadyante
tāns tathai’va bhajāmy aham,
mama vartmā’nuvartante
manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvasaḥ (11)

Lord “O Parth,
as men worship me, even so do I accept them,
and
knowing this the wise follow me in every way.”

Lord Krishn rewards his worshippers according to the nature of their devotion;
he assists them in the same degree.
It is the worshipper’s dedication that is returned to him as grace.
Knowing this secret, the righteous conduct themselves with single-mindedness
according to the way laid down by him.
They who are dear to him act according to his way.
They do what he ordains them to do.

God shows his favor by standing with the worshipper as a charioteer;
he begins to walk along with the worshipper and manifest his glory.
This is the form of his loving care.
He stands up for the destruction of forces that generate wickedness
and
to protect righteous impulses that provide access to reality.
Unless the worshipped God acts as the earnest charioteer who alerts at every step,
despite his dedication and closing his eyes in meditation, and all other endeavors,
the worshipper cannot cope with the adversities of the material world successfully.

How is he to know how much distance he has covered
and
how much more remains to be covered?

The adored God stands inseparably with the Self and guides him:
that
he is now at this point, that he should do this, and walk like that.
Thus the gulf of nature is gradually bridged and, guiding the Soul ahead by gradual steps,
God, at last, enables him to merge into him.
Worship and adoration have to be performed by the devotee,
but the distance on the path which is covered by the devotee is only by God’s grace.
Knowing this, men who are pervaded by divine sentiment through and through follow Lord Krishn’s precept.
But they do not always do this in the right way.

So what my heart sings every moment these days is Chapter Eleven of Bhagavad Gita
where a heartful prayer has been done by Lord’s loving disciple Arjun
and
Lord Krishn has shown to him with help of celestial vision.
HIS entire cosmic game revealing the mysteries of life and death.

I am sharing these audio links of Bhagavad Gita on YouTube
in various languages wherein one may choose Chapter Eleven
and listen to the total communication along with the prayer,
praying to which can save the entire humanity,
my heart believes so.

I am also sharing a video (below) that was shared with me on social media
which is from Brazil as informed
and
which has inspired me to share my feelings
on this great occasion of most sacred Krishnjanmashtami.

May Lord Krishn bless the entire globe and listen to our prayer for showering HIS divine grace.
