Happy Sri Krishna Janmashtami<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who was Sri Krishna?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was he merely a supernatural figure known to us through stories from the Puranas, someone to be celebrated through rituals and festivals? No! He was a Mahatma, philosopher, statesman, teacher, and Karma Yogi who demonstrated through his own life what the true protection of Dharma means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From birth until the end of his life, he faced relentless enemies, countless challenges, and slanderous accusations. Yet, he remained steadfast on the path of Dharma, treating all of these as insignificant and remaining firmly established in wisdom and equanimity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a warrior who fought wars not for power, wealth, position, or personal glory, but solely for the protection of Sanatana Dharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He killed Kamsa – but did not claim the throne of Mathura.
He defeated Jarasandha – but did not seize Magadha.
He vanquished Shishupala – but did not take over the kingdom of Chedi.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a courageous warrior who liberated people from cruel rulers, restored kingdoms to their rightful heirs, and introduced entirely new models of warfare to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He built great cities – but did not become their king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He became a warrior to protect Dharma; a diplomat to establish peace; an adviser to those seeking knowledge; a charioteer when service was needed; and a Guru who guided the Pandavas. Among the humble, he was the humblest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the extraordinary model that Sri Krishna represents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This video precisely highlights the difference between the Dharmayuddha waged by the divine Avatars Sri Rama and Sri Krishna, and the Jihad waged for wealth, power, domination, women, and personal gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video also raises another profound question:
How should Sanatana Dharma be protected in Kali Yuga?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenges faced by good and righteous people today are not merely struggles against a handful of rulers. The principal enemies of our times are six kinds of Asuric forces that are eating away at the human mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the Dharmayuddhas of the modern era cannot be limited to armed battles alone. A battle of ideas is equally essential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an age when ignorance, misconceptions, and ideological pollution are increasing, our weapons are not physical arms. Our weapons are knowledge, ideas, dialogue, love, and commitment to Dharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Krishna should not be worshipped merely with flowers, offerings, and celebrations. True worship lies in studying his life and message, assimilating their essence, and applying them to our lives in ways relevant to the present age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The true service to Sri Krishna is fulfilled when we systematically perform the Pancha Maha Kartavyas of Sanatana Dharma in our lives:
Adhyayana – Systematic Study
Anushthana – Practice
Pracharana – Promotion
Adhyapana – Teaching
Samrakshana (or Svadhyaya) – Protection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video concludes by inviting everyone to participate in the activities of Aarsha Vidya Samajam, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental cause underlying many of the challenges we face today – the absence of Svadhyaya – and to systematically and appropriately perform the five great duties of Sanatana Dharma in accordance with the needs of the modern age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone, please watch the complete video. Study this properly, practise it, and promote it!

Ask yourself this question:
If Sri Krishna were to appear before me and ask me, \u201cWhat will you do for Me as your true act of worship?\u201d \u2014 what would I offer him? As a devotee of Sri Krishna, is it not my supreme Dharma to fulfil that Kartavya!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing everyone a very Happy Sri Krishna Jayanti!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
