Who is the Ascended Master Krishna?

Krishna is a divine being, an incarnation of the Godhead, an avatar, and he is one of the most celebrated Indian heroes of all time. He has captured the imagination and devotion of Hindus everywhere in his many forms -whether as a frolicking, mischievous child, as the lover of shepherdesses, or as the friend and wise counselor of the mighty warrior Arjuna.

Ascended Master Krishna’s Birthday

The Hindu festival of Krishna Janamashti is observed to commemorate the birth of Krishna. This festival always falls and is celebrated between mid-August to mid-September in the Gregorian calendar. The day is marked by fasting and prayer.

The Story of Krishna and Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita

Krishna is known as the eighth incarnation of Vishnu, the Second Person of the Hindu Triad. His story is told in the Bhagavad Gita, the most popular religious work of India, composed between the fifth and second centuries b.c. and part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata.

Bhagavad Gita means “Song of God.” It is written as a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. Krishna describes himself as “the Lord of all that breathes” and “the Lord who abides within the heart of all beings,” meaning one who is in union with God, one who has attained that union that is God. He says: “When goodness grows weak, when evil increases, my Spirit arises on earth. In every age I come back to deliver the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, to establish righteousness.”

Krishna teaches Arjuna (his disciple) about the Four Yogas

Krishna’s story is told in the Bhagavad Gita, the most popular religious work of India, composed between the fifth and second centuries b.c. and part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata.

Bhagavad Gita means “Song of God.” It is written as a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. Arjuna is Krishna’s friend and disciple.

Krishna teaches Arjuna about the four yogas, or paths of union with God, and says that all the yogas should be practiced. The four yogas are knowledge (jnana yoga), meditation (raja yoga), work (karma yoga) and love and devotion (bhakti yoga).

By self-knowledge, by meditation on the God within, by working the works of God to balance karma and increase good karma and by giving loving devotion, we fulfill the four paths of the four lower bodies—the memory body, the mental body, the desire body and the physical body.

Krishna Christ Consciousness

We can see Arjuna as the archetype of the soul of each of us and Krishna as the charioteer of our soul, one with our Higher Self, our Holy Christ Self. We can see him occupying the position of the Holy Christ Self on the Chart of Your Divine Self, as the Mediator between the soul and the I AM Presence. He is universal Christ consciousness or Krishna consciousness.

Ascended Master Krishna – Healer of the Inner Child

When we send devotion to Krishna through mantra and sacred song, we open a highway of our love to the heart of Krishna, and he opens the other half of the highway. He sends back our devotion multiplied by his manyfold.

Lord Krishna is an ascended master who has pledged to help heal the inner child as we sing mantras and bhajans to him.

 

How to Ask Krishna to Help Heal Your Inner Child

Assess the age you were at the moment of the trauma. You can ask for these events in your life to pass before your third eye like slides moving across a screen or even a motion picture.

Visualize Krishna’s Presence over you at the age when you experienced any emotional trauma, physical pain, mental pain, from this or a previous lifetime. Then, visualize Lord Krishna at that age - six months old, six years old, twelve years old, fifty years old - and see him standing over you and over the entire situation. If there are other figures in this scene through whom the pain has come, see the Presence of Lord Krishna around them also.

Give the devotional mantra and song until you are pouring such love to Lord Krishna that he is taking your love, multiplying it through his heart, passing it back through you and transmuting that scene and that record.

If you see Lord Krishna superimposed over every party to the problem, to the anger, to the burden, you can understand that you can affirm in your heart that there really is no Reality but God. Only God is Real, and God is placing his Presence over that situation through the personification of himself in Lord Krishna.

Who are the Ascended Masters?

They are enlightened spiritual beings who, after lifetimes of devotion and service, returned to God in the ritual of the Ascension. In the scriptures of East and West they’re referred to as the saints and avatars.

You may recognize some of them - Gautama Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Kuan Yin, Krishna and Confucius. We know them today as ascended masters.
