of nursery school; it can help you only to a certain point. You need the religion of Yogeshwar Krishna; it is a temple of Gnan. Worship the Yogeshwar form of Lord Krishna if you want to go to moksha, and if you want to remain in the worldly life then worship the child Krishna. Lord Krishna was a Gnani. He became enlightened; He became a Gnani Purush (Narayan) from an ordinary human being (nara). Nowadays where is God to be found in the temples? Ten thousand years ago, it was written in some scripture that in Kaliyug, such a Lord will have endless solutions to help people. Otherwise, people are not likely to shape up. So, now behold this Lord directly in front of you all! 'We have personally arrived! Here in four' satsangs, there is harmony and union of the Jain, Vaishnav, Muslim and Christian religions. 'We' (Gnani Purush and the manifest Lord within) are the Sangmeshwar Bhagwan: one accepted by all religions. Those searching for Krishna find Lord Krishna and those searching for Khuda (the God of Muslims), find Khuda here. Many people have done darshan of Lord Krishna through 'usHere, there is impartial religion.
The 5000 year old story about the cobra named Kaliya is really a metaphor. It is said that the child Krishna came and conquered the huge terrifying cobra that used to torment everyone. There was no such act performed by the child Krishna. When you get upset and angry, that verily is the cobra. The other cobra needs a snake charmer to bring it under control. Why would Lord Krishna need to extract the venom from the cobra? What need does he have to do something like this? Could they not find any snake charmers? Really, people do not understand the real meaning and yet this metaphor of the cobra and the misconception continues even today. Krishna is to be found wherever anger has been conquered (kaliyadaman). Krishna (the Self) is to be found wherever kaliyadaman takes place. The cobra in kaliyadaman is anger and when one gains supreme control over anger, he becomes Krishna. The one who can crush his karma is Krishna.
Generally, it is like digging one grave and filling another One is born a Hindu in one lifetime, he destroys mosques and in his next life he is born a Muslim and destroys Hindu temples. In every life he destroys things. When he is born as a Vaishnav, he will criticize the Jains and when bom as a Jain, he will criticize the Vaishnavs. We should accept renowned beings such as the Tirthankaras, Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Lord Sahjanand, Lord Christ, Lord Paigambar and Lord Zarthost, as they are worshipped by many. If you understand them, then you will realize they are all one and if you do not, then they are many separate individuals. Here, all religions are united. 'We have no difference in opinion with any of these Lords. One hundred thousand Gnanis will have only one opinion (spiritual) and one agnani (the one who has no concept of the Self) will have a hundred thousand opinions.
One person asked 'us', "Lord Krishna was not born out of his mother's womb, was he?" 'We'asked him, "So then, did Lord Krishna drop from the sky? All embodied souls have to take birth from a mother's womb. Lord Krishna was born from Devkiji's womb."
Lord Krishna had bound a niyanu. What is a niyanu? It is a wish in exchange for what you have. It means to spend all your earned punyas (merit karmas) towards the fulfillment of that wish. Lord Krishna was a Vanik (trader class) in his past life, and as a Vanik he had suffered rejection and abuse everywhere he went, and then he became a sadhu. As a sadhu, he did tremendous penance and renunciation. What did he wish for in exchange for all his austerities? Did he wish for liberation or any such thing? His wish was that he should be worshipped by the whole world. Therefore, his punya was spent in the niyanu of wanting to be worshipped. Today his niyanu is five thousand years old.
