Jamshedpur, August 21: “Devotion to Lord Shri Krishna ensures eternal bliss. This devotion is the sole basis in life and this devotion carries us across the ocean of the universe. Faith in God creates devotion in the form of eternal bliss. Human welfare can only be attained by taking refuge in God,” explained narrator Himanshu Maharaj while on the topic of Gopi Geet, Uddhav-Gopi dialogue, Kans Vadh and Krishna-Rukmani marriage. He was speaking on the sixth day of the week long Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yagna being organized at the Satyanarayan Marwari Mandir in Bistupur on Sunday, August 21. Explaining Kans Vadh, Maharaj said that one of the major reasons for Lord Shri Krishna’s manifestation in human form was the slaying of His maternal uncle, the cruel Kans and delivering safety and peace to the residents of Mathura. Shri Krishna, at the age of 11 years, killed Kans to end the atrocities of the cruel ruler. In thew same vein, Himanshu Maharaj observed, “We cannot be happy unless our ego is destroyed.”
