Janmashtami is a celebration of Kanha's birth with full vigour & colors. Krishna took birth in Mathura. He is Deviki & Vasudev's son. He was nurtured by mother Yashoda & Nand. Kanha's life is full of learning telling us how to lead happy life.

From childhood to youth & later stage, every move of his life directs us to be blissful. Let's see how.

5 LIFE SKILLS learning's on relationships:

1. SELF DEVELOPMENT

From the moment, he was born, he initiated killing of asurs sent by his uncle (mama) Kansa. In actual sense, Krishna is inspiring us to kill negative energy in us in the form of lust, anger, attachment, jealousy, hatred etc. He is asking us to meditate ( Dhyaan Yog) mentioned in Bhagwadgita. He himself was a great flute player - actually he was flute charmer. As soon as he played flute, people felt blissful. The calm music always have soothing effect. It releases hormones like endorphins from brain creating cooling & calm effect on mind & body. So, his first lesson is SELF DEVELOPMENT by killing vikaars/negative energy in us by Meditation.

2. LOVE IS SOUL CONSCIOUS

Radha & Krishna is one. Their love for each other is eternal. Radha was the strength of Krishna. She was the one who pushed krishna to move on, to do his duty for which he has taken birth. She said,I can wait but will never come in between Kanha's karma/duty. Radha - Krishna's love for each other signifies that love is not limited to body, infact, it is not at all body conscious. LOVE is SOUL CONSCIOUS.

Naughty & Charming Krishna

3. PARENTING

Yashoda and Kanha's chemistry was beautiful. Kanha was extremely charming, naughty, cheerful, compassionate and solution oriented. He used to simplify complex problems. Yashoda used to shower love on him by different means. Actually, she used to engage herself with Kanha. She used to cook food with love & her blessings and Kanha used to eat with her. We as mothers also need to develop ENGAGED relationship with our kids. Always serve them food with love & blessings. Be there for them always, you should be in your kids reach. Engaged parents with kids give nation the GREAT & HAPPY HUMAN BEING.

4. FRIENDSHIP

Everyone has heard about Krishna & Sudama. What do we learn from it ? In today's scenario, everyone has more than 500 friends on Virtual platform. This number is on minimum side. Have you ever felt that friends on virtual platform (social networking sites) have come for your help. You will always realise that your friends in close network and that too hardly 2-3 are helpful. So have 1 friend only like Krishna. Whenever you help your friend, never show helping gesture, never ever your friend should realise that the help is reached to him/her by you. Be at same page/platform inspite of having huge difference in STATUS. A friend in need, is a friend indeed.

5. GUIDE-MENTOR

Krishna was the sarthi of Arjuna in Mahabharata. He never took any weapon in his hand instead guided Arjuna to win the battle. He prepared Arjuna to fight with his own people to safeguard Dharma/right path. He asked Arjun to implement kshatriya dharm on battleground to win. He was a superb guide. BHAGWADGITA is a great outcome from this relationship.

Krishna's face has divya shakti or out of world power. When you imagine his face or see his images drawn with human imagination is always glowing, calm, charming. It is blissful to see him. Why? It is said, he was the 8th Avataar of Vishnu - the CREATOR of LIFE. 

So, the one who has created life has also taught us the SKILLS to lead LIFE happily.

Let's put these skills in action in our life to be HAPPY & SUCCESSFUL!
