Janmashtami 2021: Why do we need to celebrate it every day?

Janmashtami 2021: Why do we need to celebrate it every day? 

As children, we have heard and read the stories of Balkrishna countless times. It was not uncommon for our mothers and grandmothers to tell us stories of her wickedness and her pleasures, but not without the lessons we needed to learn or the punishments Yashoda Maiya gave to this little dictator. 

 In those stories, we learned about this so-called baby boy, God, who would continue to transmit the Essence of Life, the Bhagavad Gita; and it was the Ninth Avatar of King Vishnu. 

 At the heart of each story was a lesson, "character", which we learned as children. Even after all these years, one can learn something new from those stories. Going back to the beginning, Janmashtami, the birth of Vishnu's Ninth Avatar, is not just a story. We read of eternal bliss and happiness from the time of the birth of Lord Krishna. 

 As the story unfolded, wicked King Kansa was prophesied to have killed the eighth child of his sister, Devaki. Kansa has killed six of Devaki and Vasudev's six sons out of anger and fear for his life. Miraculously, their seventh child was transferred to Vasudev's second wife, Rohini's womb, after she became pregnant. That child was Balaram, a manifestation of Sheshnaag. The eighth child born to Devaki was King Krishna. 

 Being confined in a dark dungeon by his brother and surrounded by security guards, there was no way for Devaki to escape and save the lives of his children. However, on the night of her eighth child, a miracle occurred. A calm, peaceful sky became a violent storm; the guards of the dungeon fall into a deep sleep, and the prison doors open. Vasudev, guided by a divine voice, led the child across the Yamuna River to the home of his dear friend Nandraja in Gokul. 

 Here, King Krishna's mother, Devaki, represents the physical body, and the Lord's father, Vasudev, represents the prana (vital life force). Happiness (Krishna) is born when the prana rises from the body. Therefore, Krishna is known as Nandalala, an example of happiness. We now understand that we can find immeasurable joy and happiness within this small body. 

 Cancer represents the ego. Like Devaki's brother, Kamsa means that the ego is born next to the body. All the Guards (five senses) fell asleep at the birth of Lord Lord Krishna (joy) in prison (body). Upon awakening, the prison guards here represent the five senses, which protect and support the ego. The five senses - eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin - are the guardians of the ego that keep us in touch with the outside world and the material things we lose the infinite ocean inside. 

 Ego's greatest enemy is happiness. Where there is happiness and love, the ego cannot survive. No matter how proud and well-placed a person is in society, one cannot help but feel overjoyed with a young child. When confronted with love, simplicity, and happiness, the ego melts rapidly. Krishna is an example of happiness, simplicity, and the source of all love. How could Cancer be able to stand in the way? 

 Through his birth, Lord Krishna taught us that our egos are very weak and weak, and that which unites us with God is eternal happiness and happiness, which is in our midst. We have forgotten to appreciate the little things that bring real happiness to our lives in our fast-paced lives: those are the short, fleeting moments where we find the essence of our lives. Janmashtami is not just celebrating the birth of the Lord; it is a reminder to give up our egos and to hear Krishna for his worst state: happiness, joy and happiness.
