Finally, the advent of Sri Krishna is marked by a fifth excellence. In the Bhagavad-gita, “the song of the Lord” or “science of God” or “Words of Krishna, Christ, God, the Supreme Person”, Krishna defines in a verse the highest of all the principles of spirituality: the mere abandonment to one's Self contains in itself the observance of all the principles of spirituality. The Vedic texts mention twenty of these principles and each of them is described in various verses. But Sri Krishna shows such kindness to the fallen and conditioned souls of this age that He comes in person to ask all to abandon all forms of religion and surrender to Him alone. It is said that in this age of Kali three quarters of the religious principles are no longer observed. However, by the mercy of God, not only has this gap in the age of kali or age of discord been fully bridged, but the way of spiritual elevation has been made easy by the simple act of offering to Krishna his service of absolute love in the form of the song of his holy names:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare,

to obtain the highest fruit of spirituality, which is to be raised to Goloka Vrindavana, the highest planet in the spiritual world. One can thus appreciate from the outset the benefits that flow from the advent of Krishna; and that He thus relieved the burden on humanity is not extraordinary.

“Glory to You, O Sri Krishna, you are in the heart of every being as Supreme Soul, and so are you called Jananivasa”.

The Supreme Lord lives in the heart of everyone by his manifestation called Supreme Soul. But Krishna is none the less, in a distinct form, as God, the Supreme Person. Mayavadis philosophers, impersonalists, accept the omnipresent aspect of the Supreme Being, but when that Supreme Being, the Supreme Lord, comes into this world, they think that He is caught in the yoke of material nature. Because He appeared as the son of Devaki, Mayavadis philosophers, impersonalists, see Krishna as an ordinary being born in this material world. If Krishna is known as the son of Devaki, He is actually the Supreme Soul, or God, the Supreme and Omnipresent Person. His devotees, however, take the expression “son of Davaki” in a different sense: for them, Krishna is in fact the Son of Mother Yasoda. Although He first appeared as the Son of Devaki, He was at once entrusted to the care of Mother Yasoda, and it was she, along with Nanda Maharaja, who enjoyed the bliss associated with her childhood Entertainment.

Vasudeva himself had to admit it: when he met Nanda Maharaja and Yasoda. at Kuruksetra, he had to admit that Krishna and Balarama were actually the Sons of Mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja. Vasudeva and Devaki were therefore only their official father and mother, Their real parents being Nanda and Yasoda.
