Janmashtami 2021: Krishna's entire life, right from childhood to the last moments has been filled with many lessons on religion, discipline, revolution, and changes needed in life. He held revolutionary opinions on almost every aspect of human life. Instead of playing a character with a single perspective, he kept changing the role according to the need of the occasion. Despite being the king of Dwarka, he became Arjuna's charioteer during the Mahabharata war and stood against his own army standing which was standing by Duryodhana's side.
Do not abandon your friends in troubled times
Krishnaji supported the Pandavas in every difficulty. He was an example of a good friend, who stood by his friends and supported them in difficult situations. He proved the saying that there is no place for conditions in friendship and that friends who stay by their friends in difficult situations are true friends.
Always be open to learning new things
Arjun, the greatest warrior of Mahabharata, did not only learn from these teachers, but also from his experiences in challenging times. This is an important lesson for every student. Apart from the teacher, they should also learn from their mistakes and failures.
Efficient Strategy Development and Execution
The Pandavas would never have been able to defeat the Kauravas in the war of Mahabharata if it would not have been for Lord Krishna's efficient strategies. Even in Modern times, it is necessary for students to strategize before preparing for examinations.
Never Give Up, Never Back Down
Krishna's life teaches us not to give up courage in times of trouble or when success is not achieved. One should evolve by learning from failure. Victory can be achieved only when one can overcome fear.
Never practice Bigotry
After seeing his best friend Sudama living in a small straw hut, he made it into a palace even before Sudama knew about it. This teaches us that Bigotry and arrogance have no place in Friendship.
