According to Indian time, the moment of Śrī Kṛṣṇa's birth, his incarnation, has just now occurred, and during this time we were engaged in prayer. The incarnation of Kṛṣṇa was not only for India, nor only for humans, but for the entire planet. There are twenty-four incarnations, and among these twenty-four, one is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is also the complete incarnation of the Supreme; the entire cosmic consciousness is represented in Kṛṣṇa, as many of you know. In the Bhagavad Gītā, Kṛṣṇa said to Arjuna: "Arjuna, from time to time I manifest myself through my yoga śakti, yoga māyā, for the sake of dharma—to protect my bhaktas (my bhaktas means all spiritual humans), to bring the light of knowledge and destroy the darkness of ignorance, to destroy the evil energy, the evil power from this planet. From time to time I incarnate where it is needed." This means He incarnates many times in every yuga. In every yuga He comes. Therefore, it does not matter where a spiritual saint is incarnated, whether it is India, the Australian continent, Africa, or Europe. It does not matter; all belongs to God. The whole world is the family of one God. Each and every entity represents the Supreme One. There is no difference; in everyone is the light of God. Before Kṛṣṇa incarnated, there were many negative energies—devils, more or less. Those who know what Kṛṣṇa is, they know what the Bhagavad Gītā is. It is said: Kṛṣṇa knows the Gītā and mother knows the Gītā. Who knows Kṛṣṇa can understand what the Bhagavad Gītā is. Only mother knows who the father is. So we have to go to the origin. For this holy occasion, for this divine day, I bless all of you in the name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, in the name of Mahāprabhujī, who was an incarnation of Viṣṇu, and in the name of Gurujī, who realized the Kṛṣṇa consciousness—meaning the consciousness of Mahāprabhujī. I wish that all your wishes come true and that your spiritual sādhanā progresses and improves day by day. Whatever saṅkalpa you make, be sure it will come true. But it should be a positive saṅkalpa; a negative saṅkalpa never comes true. And God knows what you need. That is why there is one picture of Mahāprabhujī holding a finger here. That indicates: "You need not talk, I know." Be quiet. You need not speak because He, the Antaryāmī, the knower of our inner self, the Lord of our heart, will fulfill your wish when the time comes. If not in this life, then be sure in the next life. Somehow, if we miss the next life, then perhaps in a few lives, but sooner or later, definitely, it will be fulfilled. Dīpa Dayāl Yajasur Prabhu Dīpa Dayāl Yajasur Kar Kirpā Moye Sat Saṅg Jo Kar Kirpā Moye Sat Saṅg Dī. So today is Janmāṣṭamī. Na Janmāṣṭamī. Aṣṭamī means the eighth day. You know, the month is divided into two phases. As you know, every month has two phases: the bright fortnight and the dark fortnight. The bright fortnight is that where, from the new moon, day by day the moon grows to the full moon. This is called Śukla Pakṣa. It means the light. And from the Pūrṇimā, the full moon day, day by day the moon is reducing, decreasing, till it becomes dark. So this is a dark phase. And in this time, Kṛṣṇa was born on the eighth day, meaning the light in darkness. "Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya." Lead us from the darkness to the light. Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa Kanayālāl Kī Jan.
