Janmashtami denotes the auspicious celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna, the symbol of righteousness for millions. At a time when evil prevailed over mankind, He courageously took up the individual responsibility of saving people from the cruelty of others.

Lord Krishna rose against external enemies. In modern times, the enemies we face are internal: anger, pride deceit, and greed. It is by vanquishing these enemies that we can unlock the key to everyday everlasting peace.

Indeed, Lord Krishna gave Arjun, this key - the knowledge of the Self - on the Mahabharata battlefield, which enabled Arjun to fight the war without charging karma.

Miraculously we too can attain this same knowledge through the grace of Pujyashree Deepakbhai, the current torch bearer of Akram Vignan. All those who participate in this powerful but straightforward Gnan Vidhi Ceremony obtain the answers to the questions ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Who is the doer?’ and attain the knowledge that vanquishes all our inner enemies.

Thus, this Janmashtami, let us permanently bring an end to the evil that takes shelter within us in the darkness of ignorance by strengthening our intention to progress on this path towards ultimate bliss.
