The happiness and
cheerfulness "Gokulashtami" brings in is just awesome. It is so nice
to see small children dressed up like Krishna and Radha. Like all the other
festivals, this one also makes one thinking deeply.
When Krishna was
born, only His parents were awake! The rest of the world was deep asleep! His
mother was worried about His life; father was concerned with crossing a river on a
rainy day. Step mother did not even know that He is not her son. But His birthday is
celebrated with all the cheerfulness in the world! That probably is the result
of living a strong life with an ever present joyful smile in spite of all the
odds!
Though He is one of
the greatest Gurus, He is considered as the most mischievous and adorable child
too. Sweets of all kinds are offered to Him. How can some one be highly
regarded for wisdom and cherished like a child at the same time?
Like him, can we retain the
child like innocence and curiosity while developing ourselves in various other
aspects of life? Are these really contradictory requirements as they feel like?
