Janmashtami 2016

Like every year, this year also we celebrated the Janmashtami festival at home with puja, prasaad and devotional songs.

Star Gold as well as Discovery Kids was airing ‘Little Krishna’ Series throughout the whole day. 

Though I have watched it a few times, still yesterday also we watched many episodes of it to enjoy again and again :)

While watching these stories, I remember the first part of K M Munshi's ‘Krishnavatara’ novel so much! Those events of Vrindavan had left a permanent mark on my mind!

Also the wishes by all the relatives and friends made the day great and blissful.

May Krishna shower us with blessings in every moment.

Jai Shri Krishna.

Krishna paksha ki ashtami, ardh raatri Budhvaar; 
Karagruh me Kans ke, bhayo Krishna avtaar, bhayo Krishna avtaar.
Sinh raashi ke Soorya hain, udit uchcha ke Chandra; 
Devan dinhi dundubhi, taar madhya, swar mand, taar madhya swar mand.



Megh nichhavar ho rahe, barse sau sau dhaar; 
Damak damak daamini kahe, dekho mukh ek baar, dekho mukh ek baar.
Chhatra banyo brijraaj hit, phan failaye naag; 
Mathura tere tyaag se, jaage Brij ke bhaag, jaage Brij ke bhaag.
Jaane Jamuna jag nahi, Shri Hari ko avtaar; 
Paawan pad parsanh chahi, badhi Jamun jaldhaar, badhi Jamun jaldhaar.
Dhaar madhya Vasudev jab, akulaae asahaay; 
Shri Hari ne Ravi suta hit, diyo charan latakaaye, diyo charan latakaay.



Chali kumari Nandini, aaye Nand kumar; 
Tyaag bina sambhav nahi, jeev jagat uddhaar, jeev jagat uddhaar. 


Jai Shri Krishna!

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (13): - Naaradji gets the Darshan of the Divine Pair- Radha-Krishna

Now we will start from the scene we ended, in my last post. That is- all the gods along with Brahmaji have gone to their respective 'lokas' but we can see Naaradji still standing at the ksheer saagar. 


Suddenly a Divine Light appears and asks Naraadji what is the reason that he is still staying behind. Naaradji answers that even after coming this far into ksheer saagar, he does not want to go back without a 'darshan' of the divine couple. He has faith in his devotion that the Lord will definitely fulfill his wish. 


The Lord expresses surprise with the word- 'Both' and then says -'Tathaastu'.


Now the image of Radhe-Krishna appeared before Naaradji, but the two images keeps on merging in one another, so he could not make out anything... 


A confused Naaradji now asks the Lord to appear as 'two different entities'. But the Lord answers that how could they separate themselves when they is no difference in Radha and Krishna? The way one cannot separate a flower from its fragrance, the Sun and its radiance, the sea and its waves- in the same way Radha and Krishna are always engrossed into each other.   


Naaradji says it is true that Radha Krishna are present in every atom of the creation, the Gyani realise this 'nirakaar roop' of the Lord through Realisation. But the thirst of a devotee's heart can only be quenched by the 'sakaar darshan' and again request for the darshan of the couple.



Now Radha and Krishna -both appear clearly in font of Naaradji. Krishna explains that He always fulfills the wish of His devotees. So now Naaradji can enjoy the Unique sight of Radha-Krishna which is Very Very Special, only permitted to the Intense Devotees. Many times even the gyaanis, after many births of penance, are also not granted this Rare Sight.. 


After witnessing the Divine Image of Shri Radha-Krishna, Naaradji becomes overwhelmed! He feels Blissful!! He realises that those two forms contain millions of various forms, (i.e.- the whole creation), in them! It seems that his birth has become successful on that very moment!!!


Shri Krishna now explains that basically, there is no duality, there is only 'the One' who is the Source/ Origin of the Whole Creation,  'Ek aham dwitiya naasti'. So when Naaradji asked for the darshan of the two forms, Shri Krishna was in dilemma about how and which form to show?? He also explains that actually Naaradji wanted to see 'both' the forms (Radha-Krishna) of the Lord, Together.


Naaradji agrees to it and expresses that even a devotees unclear / haphazard words (due to overflowing emotions or excitement), also make perfect sense to the Lord because the Compassionate Lord understands what lies in the heart of a devotee :)....  He asks for forgiveness if he has done anything wrong and requests the Lord only to consider the 'feelings' of his heart and not his words, which may be wrong. 


Here we have a really wonderful song- 'Radha so Shyam, Shyam soyi Radha', through which Naaradji eulogizes Shri Radhe-Krishna. 



Here is the lyrics of the song, along with its translation in English, posted by Lola (4th post of the page)- 

http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1349127&TPN=108




Shri Krishna becomes happy with the devotion of Naaradji and tells him to ask for boon. Naardaji expresses his four wishes- 

- May the Maya of the Lord never influence him. 

- He wants keep on seeing the divine smile of the Lord always. 

- He wants to enjoy the Bliss of the Lord's human leela on earth by staying around the Lord. 

- And lastly, he always wants to retain the memory of this Divine Form of the Lord, which he has just witnessed. 



Shri Krishna lovingly agrees to all his requests :).





This scene is so Intense, so Enlightening, that my words in this post are incapable of expressing them!!! You all need to watch the scene to actually Experience it!!! There are many many such scenes in 'Shri Krishna' and also in 'Ramayan',  which are beyond words, they are to be Experienced, Realised and to be Meditated upon.


Do watch this very very important scene from 'Shri Krishna', to fill yourself with the Knowledge as well as the Divine Nectar which is generated while watching this scene!!

Jai Shri Radhe-Krishna :)

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (12): - Asking for help from Brahmaji and Shri Hari

http://dpriya-viewsonpurnavataar.blogspot.in/2013/08/ramanand-sagars-shri-krishna-11-asking.html

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (12): - Asking for help from Brahmaji and Shri Hari

After telling about the unique features of Shri Ram an Shri Krishna, now Shukdevji narrates about the grave situation at the end of Dwapar yug. Many raakshasaas and Asuraas started to dominate the earth. Everyone of the creation were very sad due to their tyranny. So Naaradji along with Indradev, Prithvi Mata, Debguru Brihaspati and all the other gods, went to Brahmaji. They started to tell him about their problems and asked for help.


Prathvi Mata's duty was to give birth to noble children and spread devotion. But now some of her cruel children are committing sins due to the vices in their nature. She can't bear anymore and wants divine help....

Indradev told that the great asur Hiranyakashyap has taken birth as Jarasandh. Because of his 'taamasik' nature, he  is imprisoning the virtuous kings, and also planning to sacrifice them to attain more power. 

Devguru Brihaspati said- the great asur Kaalnemi is born as Kansa, who wants to establish adharma and so he is oppressing the saints in Mathura.   


Now Brahmaji told them- every time when Dharma is threatened and sins become heavy to Mother Earth, The Lord incarnates, to protect the virtuous, to establish Dharma and to destroy adharma.  Now they will all go to ksheer saagar to tell the Lord about it. 


They reach ksheer saagar and here we have a nice song- 'Sharanaagat vasal Naarayan, Naarayan' and the earnest cry of 'Traahimaam' coming from the hearts of the devotees truly reflect their helpless state!! The way they have come to take refuge in the Lord!!!


Now the Lord appears as a light and communicates with Brahmaji with 'Para vaani', which is inaudible to normal beings. After that Brahmaji told all of them present there, about the Divine Command of the Lord- 

He said- The Lord knows about the difficult situation on earth and He has decided to destroy all the sinners. He will incarnate on earth with all His 16 'Kalas'. The presiding deity of 'Raas mandali',  Shri Radhe Rani will also acoompany Him, on Earth. The Lord will appear in Vasudevji's house.


After saying all these, now Brahmaji also instructed all the gods as well as the kinnars and gandharvaas to take birth on earth, thus to help the Lord in His Leela :)


Here ends this part, as all of them follow Brahmaji's instuction.

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (11): - Parashuraam Avataar and Shri Ram Avataar

http://dpriya-viewsonpurnavataar.blogspot.in/2013/08/ramanand-sagars-shri-krishna-10.html

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (11): - Parashuraam Avataar and Shri Ram Avataar

 After telling about the composition of 'Shrimad Bhagwaat Mahapuraan', Shukdevji tells the story of Parashuraam Avtaar. He was the 'ugra avtaar' of the Lord. He destroyed kshatriya clan from the earth many times.

Later when he met Shri Ram, His pride was destroyed.


Some scenes from Ramanand Saagarji's 'Ramayan' is shown during the narration of this story.




Now Shukdevji tells king Parikshit about Shri Ram avtaar.



Here we have a nice song- 'Muni katha sunaate Ram sakal gundhaam ki...'- which was also used in Ramanand Saagarji's 'Uttar Ramayan', where Luv Kush sang the same song in Shri Ram's court. Here the same song has been used in the background, though he singers are different from the original (i.e.-'Uttar Ramayan') one. All the scenes from Ramayan has been shown throughout the whole song. Starting from the putrakaameshti yagnya by Rishyashringa muni, then the birth of all the four brothers, Shri Ram, Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughna. Their childhood, their days at the gurukul and coming back. Then Shri Ram and Lakshman's journey with Rishi Vishwamitra, death of Taadka, Ahilya uddhaar,  Visit to Mithila and Sita Swayamvar. Then we have the Hardhanu bhang by Shri Ram, the maariage ceremony of Siya Ram along with the maarriage of all the three brothers. Then comes the frightful interaction between Raja Dashrath and rani Kaikeyi, as a result of that Shri Ram- Siya - Lakshman leave for jungle. At Chirakoot we have Bharat milaap scenes and then Bharat leaving with the 'charan paaduka' of Shri Ram. Then some scenes of the satsangs of all the muni rishis of the jungle. Now another sad incident takes place- 'sita haran' by Raavan. While searching for his wife, Shri Ram meets  Hanumaanji, who enlightens the whole creation with his pure devotion to the Lord! He goes to Lanka, meets Mata Sita, burns the city and comes back. Later a bridge is made ('setubandhan' episode) and the Lord goes to Lanka with  his army of monkeys. Raavan's chief stalwarts- Meghnaad, Kumbhkaran- all die during the war and al last Raavan also gets killed in the hand of Shri Ram. Mata Sita is saved and they all comeback to Ayodhya. The whole craetion along with the Ayodhya vaasis feel blessd to see the  'Ram darbaar' in Ayodhya.

This song sequence ends with the famous line-

'Hari ananata Hari kaha anaantha
Kahahi sunehi bahu vidhi sab santa'.


It is also mentioned in the song that Shukdevji 's sweet voice, humble tone and emotionl narration added more sweetness ('ras') to the tale of the Lord.


And now, he compares Shri Ram and Shri Krishna with these words-  that Shri Ram was the supreme yardstick of Human 'Dharma', for him Duty was supreme. And Shri Krishna, on the other hand was supreme in Spiritual Depth, for him the Emotions/ Devotion is supreme. These are the chief features in these two great incarnations of the Lord. Shri Ram rarely expressd himself as God in front of others and Shri Krishna never hid his true identity.

After theses avataars, now we will move towards the grave situation which paved the way for the birth of the Lord in Dwapar yug. I will write about it next time.




Jai Shri Krishna.

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (10): - Composition of 'Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuraan'

http://dpriya-viewsonpurnavataar.blogspot.in/2013/08/ramanand-sagars-shri-krishna-9.html

Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' (10): - Composition of 'Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuraan'

After narrating about Narsimha avtaar, Shukdevji tells King Parikshit about the story how 'Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuraan' was composed. 


Now we are shown a dramatization of the following event-

After composing Mahabharat, his father sage Veda Vyas was still feeling incomplete inside. As the epic ended in a devastating war, (the emotions which evoked in the mind of Veda Vyas, during the process of composing Mahabharat), made him sad. 


One day Narad muni came to him and asked the reason of his sadness. Veda Vyas replied that in Mahabaharat he has tried to incorporate all the knowledge of the vedas, so that the persons who are unable to read the pious texts can still have access to that knowledge. He has tried to tell about dharma, about right action and their significance in our life. Thus he has tried to help humankind to let a rich and meaningful life. But even after such a composition, he is still feeling something lacking in his endeavor. 


Now Naraadji explains that no doubt his aim has been a novel one, but since human beings have some limitation in their understanding, so there is a chance that they may misinterpret the epic (Mahabharat) and start focusing more in the outward activities/ worldly matters. (Whereas the ideal  focus should always be on the 'inner journey'/ 'journey of the Soul').


Any text which does not focus on the glory of the Lord, seems incomplete....  So now Veda Vyas should start writing a composition where he will sing the about the glory of the Lord, the divine Love, the pure emotions, which will immerse all the three worlds in pious flow of the nectar of Devotion. Reading that text will be the sure way to Salvation for all the souls in Kaliyuga.   


Now Veda Vyasa asks from where will he get the story of Shri Krishna leela? Then Naaradji tells him that once he had listened to the sacred saga of Shri Krishna from his elder brothers, i.e.- the four Santkumars, which he will now narrate to Veda Vyas, so that he can write about it in his composition. 





Now Shukdevji tells King Parikshit that as the tradition goes, In the beginning, Muni Naarad starts with the avataars of the Lord, who came for their Leela before Shri Krishna. And then he came to he tales of Shri Krishna. Veda Vyas listened to all the tales and thus the great sage Veda Vyas started to write 'Shrimad Bhagwaat Mahapuraan'.


Here we have a song-

"Sharimad Bhawat ki katha sab shaastro ka saar..."



Watch it here-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxg03tnVIlI

(after 1 min, upto the end)


In the next post we will know about the Lord's Parashuraam Avataar.



Jai Shri Krishna.
