Sri Krishna taught us Karma Yoga. He strongly dictated in Gita that a
man is bound to get the fruits of his actions. If he has done good
actions/deeds throughout his life, he will get good results. The real
meaning of Janamashtami vow is to become Karamyogi like Krishna. One
should always follow the right path and never tolerate injustice. Karma
yoga is action (karma) performed without expectations or thought of
reward. This selfless service of karma yoga is the path by which the
mind is most quickly purified and its limits transcended. The karma yogi
works hard, both physically and mentally. He seeks to eliminate the ego
and its attachments, to serve humanity without expecting rewards, and
to see unity in diversity . This enables him to tune to the one
underlying divine essence that dwells within all beings. Karma yoga is
most suitable for people who have an active temperament. It involves
working in the world and giving of oneself in a selfless way. The real
essence is to become a selfless Karamyogi.
All advices and sermons Sri Krishna laid down in Gita, every word
that he uttered, whether he was talking of Yoga or of stable genius
(sthitaprajna), wisdom, always gave inspiration to fight and propelled
them against the injustice. The perishability of the body, immortality
of the soul, concentration of the mind, and undisturbed equanimity, calm
and peaceful disposition of mind – all was to be described and
explained in detail by Krishna so that Arjun, caught in the bewitching
trap and completely at his wit's end should pick up his arms and pounce
upon injustice, otherwise all these utterances were unnecessary right at
the beginning of the war of Mahabharata, certainly not so important as
to attract the attention of a magnanimous personality like Krishna.
"Dear devotees of Krishna, let us take a pledge today, let us make a
resolution that we will not allow even advertently any blemish to defame
the noble life of that spotless, innocent, virtuous and realized soul.
Let us follow the footsteps of the ideals of great people." Following
are the words of Krishna
- yad yad acarati shresthasthat devetaro janah
- sa yat pramam kurute lokas tadanuvartate
