The Hindu God Krishna with blue-black skin holding a flute is often depicted in pictures accompanied by a cowherd. In Mahabharata, he has also driven the chariot of his friend, Arjuna.
But to think of it, he was born to royal parents with a destiny to become a king. Why then do we find him in such humble settings being a shepherd or driving the chariot of a prince?
Because staying simple in life always makes you happier.
Unnecessary complexity and pride can only inflate your ego doing no good for you.
Lord Krishna was an avatar of God Vishnu, his birth was destined to abolish the evil from the world. But even while remaining focused on his mission he stayed a humble human, great friend, loving son, a true lover, a philosopher.
No matter what our mission is we can always choose the present moment to stay kind, human and beneficial.
Not all of us are born to banish the evil or establish good in the world. But each one of us can choose to do simple things every day that can do greater good.
A small act of kindness won't change the world but it could change one person's life and that in itself is a great deed!
Happy Krishna Janmashtami !
