sunrise [birth]

Imported quote 17531 Therefore Krsna says, janma karma me divyam [Bg 4.9]. It is all transcendental. It is not this ordinary birth. Ordinary birth means male and female union, then there is pregnancy, then the child comes out of the womb. It is not like that. It is... We can take this example: just like the sunrise in the morning, udilo aruna pūraba-bhage. Before the sunrise, the sky becomes reddish, and then the sun comes out. So if somebody says that "The eastern side is the birthplace of sun," is it a fact? No. The sun is always there in the sky, but with your limited eyes you are seeing that now sun comes, sunrise. Sun does not rise nor set. Sun is already there. Your imperfect eyes-you see there is sunrise, there is sunset. Is it not a fact? Similarly, Krsna is always there, but because we do not know Krsna, therefore we understand that Krsna is taking birth from Devaki, or Krsna has taken birth in the family of the Yadus. Yes, He appears like that, that He has taken birth in the Yadu family. Because why? The purpose is to glorify the family because it belongs to the devotee, Maharaja Yadu. That is His purpose. His real purpose is that the Yadu dynasty... Maharaja Yadu was a great devotee. Here the yadoḥ priyasya. He appears to take birth in the family of Maharaja Yadu. Just like Lord Ramacandra, He took birth in the family of Maharaja Raghu. Therefore Lord Ramacandra is called Raghunatha, Dasarathi, as Krsna is called Vasudeva because He accepted Vasudeva as His father.
