Dear Editor,
He was born in Jail. His parents were jailed and under house arrest.
At that time, no one in the country dared to talk about the atrocities of the Government. Intimidation, jail, harassment, embarrassment, and even death awaited anyone who opposed the Government.
The Ruler and the Governing forces killed and destroyed all opposing forces and persons who dared to oppose them. The Government stole all the money from the treasury, built palaces, raped women, became drunken at every opportunity and used every state asset for their personal pleasure. Every citizen had to submit to them.
The Ruler even forced religious groups and religious persons to work along with him and to shower praise on the Government at every opportunity. They controlled those persons who spread communication across the country. They also gave people handouts to divide and rule them. Only family and friends of the Government were given lucrative contracts.
And, after He was born, the Ruler and his Government learnt of a new generation, new leadership rising. They heard that the Young ones will rise and free the country. So, they sent spies and they killed anyone who dared to speak in opposition.
Yet, He was born. He led the Revolution against the Oppressors and continued to work intimately for the freedom of everyone from evil.
His name was Krishna.
He gave the world the Bhagwad Gita, which gave Humanity the pathway to God, while entrusting us to ensure that we free ourselves from oppression and evil, even if that evil is wearing the garb of kith and kin. He told us that God is in Charge.
He also said that the wicked days will repeat itself, but that He will continue to exist in the heart of the Righteous. He said we will always be free so long as we want to be free.
Today we celebrate His birth with thoughts of freedom from oppression, corruption and sin. Every day we remember the life and teachings of Lord Krishna….but today we celebrate with vigor His birth and His message of Hope and Freedom.
Long live the ideals and the teachings of Lord Krishna. May His teachings become reality in our lifetime.
