Happy Birthday Lord Krishna!




Krishna Janmashtami falls on Saturday, September 5, this year. It marks the birth of Lord Krishna - the most attractive male in the universe. 
In the Hindu tradition God in his virat roop is considered incomprehensible to the five senses. He therefore as an act of mercy enables his worship through murtis that are installed as per the prescriptions of the shastras. He is worshipped through the listening of his leelas and glorification of his names. May we live, breathe, sing, dance and behave in ways that are pleasing to the Lord of the Gopis! 




Welcome into our hearts O Lord Gopijana-Vallabha!

Why is it okay for Krishna to steal butter and not for us?

Shri Radhe

One, because Krishna is God. Everything belongs to him. Whatever he takes, he is only taking what belongs to him in the final reckoning. Two, because the purpose is not to steal but to give pleasure to his pure devotees who take incarnate with him to participate in his leelas. Because he takes away from his devotees, he is called 'Hari' or the 'one who takes away'. In the taking away, he unburdens them of all which keeps them from enjoying the bliss that is their true nature - sadchidananda.

May Balmukunda, the stealer of clothes, butter and hearts, bless us with a glance of his merciful eyes! Keshav jai! jai! Madhav jai! jai!

Celebrating Janmashtami with the prettiest French girl in Paris!



Krishna
 A few months after the Gauda Vaishnavas built their temple (temporary) in Paris in the 1970s, Srila Prabhupada the founder Acharya of ISKCON, visited the city where he was interviewed by reporters. Krishna is known as Paris-eswara at the temple, which is called Sri Sri Radha-Pariseswara temple.

At the interview, Prabhupada had remarked, "Radharani has come to France as the most beautiful French girl. Because in the whole world the girls with the most beautiful faces are the French girls."

Today, as we celebrate Janmashtami, Parisian Vaishnavas will also be honoring the arrival of Nandlala, the divine flute player of Vrindavan, who incarnated in the world of mortals drawn by the love of his devotees. Devotees continued to steadfastly look for a permanent temple site for the deites, which happened in 2007. 

All glories to Shrimati Radharani of Paris! All glories to Lord Krishna! All glories to Vaishnavas!

Fazlul Hasan Hasrat Mohani, the Sufi who loved Krishna

Lord Shri Krishna

Hasrat Mohani was a freedom fighter, a renowned Urdu Poet Islamic scholar and Sufi master of two traditions and a staunch supporter of Balgangadhar Tilak. Hasrat wrote poems expressing deep love for Shri Krishna and eagerly participated in Janmashtami celebrations in Mathura. 


Hasrat Mohani

Ankhon meun nūr-i-jalwa-i-be-kaif-o-kam hai khās
Jab se nazar pe unkī nigāh-i-karam hai khās
Kuch ham ko bhī ‘atā ho ki ai hazrat-i-Kirishn
Iqlīm-i-‘ishq āp ke zer-i-qadam hai khās
Hasrat kī bhī qubūl ho mathurā meN hāzirī
Sunte haiN ‘āshiqoN pe tumhārā karam hai khās

When he cast at me his especially kind glance,
My eyes lit up with a nameless unending vision.

Revered Krishna, bestow something on me too,
For at your feet lies the entire realm of Love.
May that you accept Hasrat too at Mathura—
I hear you are specially kind to lovers.
               - Hasrat Mohani

Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa Charitable Trust celebrates Janmashtami week

Janmashtami

Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa Charitable Trust celebrates Janmashtami week

God is the ultimate source of joy or ananda. And Krishna, the apple of Yashoda’s eyes, is the ananda in person manifesting in a physical form to delight his devotees. He is the all-attractive one, the one whose form captivates even Madan, the God of Love, and who is therefore known as Madan-Mohan. Janmashtami marks the Lord’s appearance on Earth to transact the sweet business of transcendental love that is only known those who chose the Lord are in turn chosen by him.

All other forms of Krishna, the reservoir of love, receive our prayers and grant wishes of devotees. Krishna as child, Balamukunda, however, manifests to allow us to express our endless love for him. In bathing the image of Laddu-Gopala, in talking to him, in feeding him delicacies and singing him to sleep, the devotee experiences transcendental bliss.

May our Guru Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa bless us with the desire for the lotus feet of Shri Krishna, the never-failing refuge of his devotees.
