Happy Shri Krishn Janmashtami!
On this day, birthday of Lord Shri Krishn ji is celebrated. Lord Shri Krishn ji is one of Lord Shri Vishnu ji's (one of the three Trinities in Hinduism) avatar in the human form.
There were several motivations behind Shri Krishn ji's birth on earth. These include promoting pure and unconditional love in various forms of relationship (eg. mother-son, friendship), restoring righteousness and defeating demons, preaching about Karam Yoga among other things. He demonstrated respect for everyone including nature.
He directly imparted spiritual knowledge to his friend and devotee Arjun. This message and knowledge is available through Shri Bhagwat Gita which is a Holy Book in Hinduism.
One of the many important messages and knowledge preached by Shri Krishn ji to Arjun ji that fascinates me is about Karam Yoga. That is, engaging in actions without tied to fruitive results, “Karam kar, fal ke itcha mat kar”, (Shri Bhagwat Gita).
