Janmasthami - incarnation of Lord Krishna
The incarnation of Kṛṣṇa is universal, meant for the entire planet. Kṛṣṇa is the complete incarnation representing the entire cosmic consciousness. He manifests through divine power in every age to protect righteousness and the devoted, to dispel ignorance and destroy evil. The specific birthplace of a saint is irrelevant, as the whole world is one divine family and the light of God is within every being. This incarnation brings light into darkness, guiding from ignorance to knowledge. All sincere and positive spiritual aspirations are known and will be fulfilled by the inner guide, in due time.
"Time to time I manifest myself... to protect my bhaktas... to bring the light of knowledge and destroy the darkness of ignorance."
"Lead us from the darkness to the light."
