Jai Gurudev!

Guruji on Janmashtami
Janmashtami is a very juicy day; Get absorbed in your own juice,
juice of your own self! You cannot be dry on this day!! (Laughter!!) On the Janmashtami day you get immersed in the being. Some of us who are very closely sitting or standing in the front may go back and dance! It's a day to dance, sing.. you cannot be dry on this occasion!!
It is said that when Krishna did the *raas *with the Gopis then He took as
many forms as the number of the Gopis. Janmashtami is the day of chaos and bliss amidst charm and childhood. Children play with water guns and through water at each other and here you have it all naturally!! (Laughter!!)
Jnamashtami is not the time to be serious. It is the time to dance and
celebrate. The legend goes that Krishna multiplies into so many forms of his own self and dances with all the Gopis! So you all can actually go back and dance. Krishna says, "Yomaan pashyanti…." Which means, One who sees me in everybody and also sees everybody in me, to such a devotee I cannot leave. I cannot leave that person ever.
You know Lord Sri Krishna was not just a person; Krishna is also a
consciousness, which is all bliss and all permeating. It is a tatwa. Krishna
is a tatwa.
Do you all want to dance? Oh! there is some group dance by the students of our Pre university college?!?! Oh ho! But it's wet here. The floor is wet. You dance from wherever you are.
*Students: *Guruji the PU college students have own the Kabaddi match!!!
*Guruji: *Oh! Very good!! Very good!
How many have you have not read the Bhagwat Gita? Ok now lets all take a Sankalpa we will all read Bhagwat Gita from tomorrow. Ok? Everyone? All those who have not read it yet, should definitely start reading the Bhagwat Gita from tomorrow and must also inspire others to read it. You know in Bhagwat Gita Krishna has spoken about every thing. About the food the gunas, yoga, Panayama, Bhakti, Love everything! Ask a friend tomorrow whether they have read Bhagwat Geeta tomorrow. If they say 'no', immediately ask them to read it, and take a promise that he also does. Ok?
Mahatma Gandhi used to read the Bhagwat Gita everyday! His Satsang would be incomplete without the Gita readings. I mean it will never finish without reading the Bhagwat Geeta. Gandhiji used to read the second chapter of the Bhagwat Geeta everyday. There is written about, 'Who is a Sthita pragyna'?
'Who is a Gyani?' 'Who is a agyani?'
More than thousands of commentaries are done on the Bhagwat Gita. I have not read even one though! (Laughter!!) There are 700 shlokas. Everyone should read and you should ask others to read.
Happy Janmashtami Kiran ! Jai Guru Dev
