KRISHNA : The ultimate savior and Protector of Mankind

The festival Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna (the eighth and most important incarnation of God Vishnu) he took birth to save humanity from the cruelty of evil king of Mathura "Kansa' to destroy him'. The complete episode of Krishna 's birth is a divine miracle. It taught us that 'When God wants to save someone no one can prevent Him'. Krishna is the divine energy that pulls everything to it, He is the ultimate savior and protector of mankind.
The festival of Sri Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated with devotion and enthusiasm. So many rituals and customs are followed on this day, some are common and some are very unique to a particular region. Janmashtami of Mathura and Vrindavan, the places where Lord Krishna had spent his childhood, are famous all over the world. Devotees from across the world come to these pious places to celebrate the festival. They offer special pooja and aarti to get the blessings of God. A huge congregation at Vrindavan, Mathura , Dwarka Krishna temples plunges the places into religious frenzy. People observe fast till midnight when the Lord was born.
Janmashtami is therefore actually celebrated twice, the occasions coinciding with Krishna 's birth in captivity in Mathura and the discovery of the newborn Krishna in Nand and Yashoda's house at Gokul.
Lord Krishna spent his childhood with cowherd boys of gokul and Gopis. In the Vrindavan forests Krishna used to play the flute and the Gopis danced with him in elation. This shows the unconditional love between the individual and the divine.
Following of the essence of Geeta (Geeta saar) by load Krishna:
Why do you worry in vain?
Of whom are you afraid?
Who can kill you?
Soul never takes birth, never dies.
You are that soul, you are immortal.
Whatever happened was good.
Whatever is happening is good.
Whatever shall happen will be good.
Don't lament the past.
Don't worry about future.
Present is here, take care of it.
What is lost for which you cry?
What you brought with you in this world which is lost?
What is your creation, which is destroyed?
You did not bring anything with you.
Whatever you received was here.
Whatever you give was here.
You received all from God.
You give all to God.
Your hands were empty at birth.
They shall be empty at death.
What is yours today belonged to somebody else yesterday.
What is yours today shall belong to somebody else tomorrow.
You attach yourself unnecessarily which is source of sorrows.
Change is law of nature.
What you consider is death, is life.
In one moment you become owner of millions.
Next moment you become a pauper.
Wash away the feelings of mine-thine, high-low from you mind Remove them from your thoughts Then all will belong to you and You will belong to all.
This body is not yours.
You are not this body.
This body is made of five elements Space, air, fire, water and earth.
One day it shall merge in five elements.
Soul is eternal.
You are that soul.
Submit yourself to God This is the best shelter.
One who knows this shelter never knows fear, worry or sorrow.
Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God. This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.

Today we remember Lord Krishna but we forget what he taught us, if we apply this essence in our daily lives I am sure it can change our lives as well as the world too with full of happiness.
