15 Aug 2025 the difference between appearance and birth of Krishna (Hindi)

August 15, 2025 12:00 PM

The Difference Between Appearance & Birth — Janmashtami Special ✨ Media and TV often present Lord Krishna’s pastimes with inaccuracies. That’s why our scriptures advise — always hear Hari-katha from pure Vaishnavas. For example: Lord Nrisimhadeva appeared from a pillar — but does that make the pillar His father and mother? No. There’s a vast difference between Appearance (Prakatya) and Birth (Janma). Similarly, Shri Krishna’s Appearance was in Mathura, but His Birth (Janma) — as celebrated...

The difference between Avirbhava (appearance) and Janma-lila (birth). Reasons for Krsna’s appearance and birth. Krsna’s eternal associates are ragatmika, that is, they have spontaneous love and affection for Krsna, and are always absorbed in His mood. Song: Sad Gosvami Astakam. Krsna distributed prema only to His associates, but Mahaprabhu distributed it to everyone. Verse: anugrahāya bhaktānāṁ mānuṣaṁ deham āsthitaḥ… (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.33.36). Song: Sri Damodara Astakam. By hearing this...

The different appearance times of Krishna and some of His avataras. About sambandatmika and kamatmika. The people of this world have no idea of the existence of Vraja, so Krsna comes here and does His pastimes. About nitya-lila and naimittika-lila. Gaudiya Vaisnavas pay attention to Nanda-nandana Sri Krsna. Krsna who appeared in the prison of Kamsa is not the complete Krsna. Baladeva’s duty is to prepare the platform for Krsna’s arrival in this world. Bhagavan’s best servant...

The difference between avirbhava (appearance) and janma (birth). Jnanis realise Brahma (effulgence) without form or anything. To whom does the effulgence belong, where does Brahma come from? The sastras explain that effulgence, Brahma, comes from the toenails of Krishna. One who is in madhurya can understand and see the beautiful form of the Lord. Bhagavan, who is complete, has splendour and controls them all. This Brahmanda of the four-headed Brahma, where we are, is the smallest of all the...

Krishna is sarva-avatari, source of all incarnations. First establish tattva-siddhanta. Which Krishna do we celebrate on Janmastami? Purna (complete), purna-tara (more complete) and purna-tama (most complete: relating to Dvarakadhisha Krishna, Mathuradhisha Krishna and Vrindavana Krishna. Aradhyo bhagavan vrajesa-tanayas: very important shloka. (Sri Slokamrtam-bindu, pg 14) Srimad-Bhagavatam is the spotless purana, paran-samrat.

Part 1 -Today is Krishna’s birthday-Sahajiya is just talking about rasa without following the principles-You must have a foundation in knowledge and follow principles (tattva-siddhanta) before entering into rasa-siddhanta-There is only one paratattva: Vrajendra-nandana Syamasundar Himself-4 rupas in which Bhagavan manifests Himself: svayam-rupa, vaibhava, shakti, and maya-Citya-vaibhava, maya-vaibhava, jiva-vaibhava-The baddha-jiva is attracted to maya-shakti, and therefore goes around in...
