  Krishna Janmashtami is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the lunar month of Shrawana of the Hindu Calendar which falls on September 4 this year.

Here are five essential messages of the Holy Scripture stated in haiku for dwelling on and reflection.  GITA INSPIRED HAIKU Do good, let it go, No need for any gain, fame, Just do what is right. Find your own bright way, Don't copy others' old tracks, Be fresh, be brand new. Look deep in your soul, Remake yourself each breath you take, Always start anew. Pious thoughts shine so clear, No bad thoughts can make a dent, Peaceful, quiet mind.

LORD KRISHNA ON TRUTH'

Image
 LORD KRISHNA ON TRUTH' Truth has been described in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna to confused and deluded warrior Arjuna.   THE TRUTH: A POEM The boundless Truth, it has no end. It cannot fade, it will not bend. Too big to hold, too deep to know, Where thoughts can't reach, it starts to grow. Forever real, it's always there. In every breath, in all you share. It's solid ground, no shifting sand, The truest thing in any land. This life we see, it passes by. Sweet tastes and sights, they softly lie. They trick the heart, they blur the view, Not truly real, not ever true. Beyond the 'me', the 'mine' you feel. Past books and facts, the hidden real. Let go of self, and do what's right, With selfless heart, and shining light.

Krishna spoke Gita’s everlasting song, To guide all human souls away from wrong. *** All past, all present, and what yet shall be, In every living soul, Lord Krishna sees. *** Krishna holds all within His boundless breast, A deep, untroubled sea where truths find rest. *** No part is missing from His perfect grace; Pure Being shines, unmarred by time or space. *** Each rising wave, each drop that catches light, Reflects the splendor of that Infinite. *** The All, the Everything, is solely He, Divine, unchanging Mind, eternally. *** His timeless form, beyond all worldly sight, Holds countless virtues of celestial light. *** Though grand opulence at His command did lie, He lived detached, beneath the earthly sky. *** He pervades all nature, cosmic space, and time, Yet stays unbound by all His laws sublime.

BHAGAVAD GITA VERSE 4.2 AND INSPIRED COUPLETS

Image
v BHAGAVAD GITA VERSE 4.2 AND INSPIRED COUPLETS Sanskrit Verse एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदुः। स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप॥ (Bhagavad Gita 4.2) Verse 4.2 of the Bhagavad Gita states that supreme spiritual knowledge is passed down through an unbroken lineage of teachers and disciples, but fades over time when people stop practicing it. INSPIRED COUPLETS The Gita shines, a pure and sacred light,  Where Vedic truths and ancient paths unite.  Passed down through monks in one unbroken line,  The royal sages held this truth divine.  Yet time obscured the spark and hid the way,  So Krishna wakes Arjuna's mind today.  When life and learning fail to bond and grow,  The soul remains enslaved to grief below.  But wisdom breathed through every selfless deed  Unlocks the cage and sets the spirit free.

 ODE TO PEACE LOVING INDIAN GEN-Z IN QUINTETS Young Gen Z, with clear-eyed might, Said, "Status quo's wrong, it's not right." Oppression's sway, They pushed away, And stood for all, in reason's light. Gandhi's path, with minds so bright, See through shadows, banish night. Oppression's chain, They'll break again, For educational rights. For learning bright, Gen Z strive 'n seek, With open minds, they freely speak. In lands so wide, With diverse pride, Democracy's the path they keep.
