( Laughter) He played and did so much mischief with Yashoda. He did not give any Self-knowledge to Yashoda. So in one birth he gave her only knowledge and in another birth He gave her only love. As Kapil Muni, He gave his mother the knowledge of the Self, but as Lord Krishna he gave her a lot of love and affection, and not Self-knowledge. So in the next birth she was once again born as mother to Lord Krishna – Yashoda. So, even though she received Self-knowledge, still her attachment to her child remained. Now, a mother’s love is such that she would always want her child to keep coming back to her in every birth. So he had an avatar (incarnation) by the name of Kapil Muni before being born as Lord Krishna. In his incarnation as Kapil Muni, Lord Krishna gave his mother the knowledge of the Self, the knowledge of Sankhya Yoga. In that previous birth, he was known as Kapil Muni (a wise enlightened sage). Before being born as Lord Krishna, there was another birth that Lord Krishna had taken. I am ajanmaa (one who is never born).’ Celebrating the birth of One who is never born is a very fascinating thing. Lord Krishna said, ‘I am never born and I never die. Lord Krishna’s birthday is approaching and people are getting ready to celebrate his birthday.
