Pujya Sri Swamiji's Krishna Janmashtami Message - 21 Aug 2011 - Euro Datta Church Centre, London

We are part of infinity. In our gigantic cosmos, there are many stars, suns, & many different planets. It is difficult to understand the creation. Earth is minuscule in Lord's creation. The almighty may need a microscope to see our world. Earth is almost invisible, just a dot. What are we therefore? What is this Maya, illusion? How can we understand his Maya ?

We are trying to understand through different experiments to understand this Maya e.g discovery of many millions of planets. Scientists are experimenting, inventing and exploring to understand Lord's creation

People have created novels and films about this human creation. Some are believable some are daft.
In current phase, the Kaliyuga, the people understand truth as untruth and untruth as truth. E.g. Tasting different types of food. Sometimes this brings Rakshasa (demonic) Guna (Quality), Tamo Guna. We don't want to follow Sattva (pure) Guna (quality) because of lack of patience. Everyone gives excuses when it comes to follow path of purity. For example Chanting mantra. Listening to Ramayana, individuals will find excuses and avoid it. Such people with demonic qualities love to watch horror movies, read demonic stories repeatedly.

Such individuals love unhygienic food, environment and associates with demonic practices. They complain when pure food or good books are offered rejecting Sattva pure energy and quality They love confusions. It is almost a fashion to create confusion, and seek sympathy through crying and melodrama. They blame Guru for personal problems and confusions. We hate calmness and peace. Chit chat and unnecessary discussion is all such people like to do. We also like listening to garbage news. They love demonic (Satan) Guna (quality) and reject Sattvic (purity) such people chase different Gurus to try and find solace. It is also a fashion to boost that I have been with many Gurus..

In Uddhava Gita, Krishna advises his staunch devotee Uddhava, In the last sentence he said that Sattvic people did not want to take rebirth. Why go through the endless cycle of birth and death..

We are like invisible insects to the almighty. Why take birth? Is it because my father/your father/ ancestry took birth.

In Ramayana, Sri Rama made similar statement. All the followers were afraid of the arrival of Kaliyuga, the era of suffering.
'Prabhu (my lord) what can we do? We are trying to practice Sattvisism but we afraid of Tamo Gunas( Tamas). Help us. Guide us is what people pleaded.

In GIta discourse to Arjuna, The lord Krishna speaks
Chant my name again and again. Sing lord's name. Give up everything, Maya, Tamo Guna, attachment and just chant my name.
'Tvameva mama sharanam, Krishna! Tvameva mama sharana.
(You are my only saviour). Krishna promises
'I will protect you even if my human form is not present!'

In Uddhava Gita, Uddhava asks, Lord how will I manage in Kaliyuga?? I don't wish to stay in such era. I want to join you without having to commit suicide. I want liberation. How do I merge in you Moksha ?

Krishna says that chanting Lord's 24 names, will give you liberation. I promise to my devotees that I will protect you. Liberation is guaranteed.

The Bhagavatam is the most important Purana (Holy scripture) Lord Krishna takes birth. We become ecstatic because we feel a part of us Krishna. E.g Dwarka Krishna, Brindavana Krishna etc. Therefore we chant mantra, Hare Krishna Hare Rama. Inner mind chants.

Hare raamaa hare raamaa raamaa raama hare hare
Hare Krishna hare Krishna Krishna Krishna hare hare.

I like the Bhajan I want to sing now. It was composed by Sant Kanaka Dasa. I have sung it many times.
Sri Swamiji sang Kannada Bhajan "Isha Ninna Charana Bhajane " composed by Saint Kanakadasa.
