Question : Did Lord Krishna say anything about?
Why do we take birth, if we have to die later?
That is a million dollar question, without any clear cut logical answer.
1. Only thing Lord Krishna said is that people take birth due to their past karmic debts incurred during their last birth (incarnation).
2. Each of us are responsible for our birth. God has nothing to do with that.
3. We continue this cycles of birth and death, until we exhaust all our karmic debt and then we attain salvation.
4. Lord Krishna said: God does not decide what each person should do, nor he induce people to act, nor does he create fruits of any action.
Each person acts according to his/her Vasanas (Past and present perceptions of mind)

Place and time of birth of our five incarnations of Mahanubhav Pantha or Jai Krishni Pantha or Achyuta Pantha.
Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami told to his pantha that the lord takes avatars in all four Yugas (Krutayuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga, Kaliyuga). Same was said by Shree Krishna in Shree Bhagavad Gita: “Dharma Sansthaapnaarthay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge”. Accordingly, there is not a time in this world when an avatar is absent.
Mahanubhav Pantha teaches that Krishna is the only God in Universe.

One day, while playing in the fields, little Krishna secretly ate mud. His friends went and told Yashoda about this. When Krishna returned home, Maa Yashoda caught Krishna by his ears and scolded him for putting dirt in his mouth. Krishna promptly replied that he had had a fight with his friends in the morning and to take revenge they were all lying and that Yashoda shouldn't believe them. He said that she was being unfair as she believed them instead of believing her son.
Yashoda ordered, If you have not taken any mud, then open your mouth. I shall see for myself.
Krishna obediently opened his mouth. But when Yashoda peered into his mouth, she was wonderstruck. She saw the entire universe: the mountains the oceans, the planets, air, fire, moon and the stars in his small mouth. Yashoda was stunned and began to wonder whether she were dreaming or actually seeing something extraordinary. She fell on the ground, unconscious.
When she recovered, she realised what had happened. The Lord Almighty, in all his glory, was before her very eyes. It was little Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu. Yashoda took the little boy on her lap and hugged him and cried with joy.

God With Form or God Without Form...
🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏
Like all of us, Arjuna was also confused about the proper way to worship God.
So, Arjuna very specifically asked bhagwan Krishna whether one should worship God as a person (WITH FORM) or worship God as impersonal (WITHOUT FORM).
(BG:12:1).
Prabhu Shree Krishna answered
Those who worship me with great faith, I consider them to be perfect. However, those worship the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman with proper control of senses also will finally attain me.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:2,3,4)
Bhagwan Krishna answered: Remember those whose minds are attached to the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman will find very difficult to progress in their path since they are born with body and mind.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:5)
Since the concept of God is very difficult to explain, Rishi Veda Vyasa wrote, we can worship God.
With form - SAGUNA BRAHMAN - as well as Without form - NIRGUNA BRAHMAN

Brahmavidya Shashtar: Understand ...
🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏
In any person’s mind, if there is a strong will to know the very tiny and vast theory of knowledge. Then that jeev must start the Brahmavidya Shashtar from the very beginning and with strong desire. This is the original principle of attaining the pure knowledge.
Respect the divine guru who is the medium and the part of the process, then adopt his culture, his rituals and his behaviour. Pray every day and every time to Parmeshwar. Then after, jeev is in the position to know the actual theory of knowledge, the cause behind this and the process.
Opposite to this, jeev who is full of haughtiness, involved in the other process, keeping sidestream and portraying the fake spirituality is unable to understand this theory of knowledge.
Swami Shree Chakardhara said:
मराठी: घेईजे, घोकिजे, मग काळे करौनि उपयोगा जाय | (आचार – 145)
हिंदी: प्रारंभ में इसे समझना चाहिए, अपनाना चाहिए, इसे बार बार याद करना चाहिए, फिर बादमे यही जीवन में उपयोगी सिद्ध होता है | इसलिए ज्ञान प्रपात करने के वाद उसे अवश्य याद करना चाहिए | (आचार – 145)
English: First of all understand this, then adopt this, then the latter becomes useful in life and finally remember and recall all the times.

Lord Shree Krishna choosen Arjuna...
🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏
Krishna give knowledge of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita to Arjuna because there were many reasons.
Context of the Kurukshetra War: The Gita is set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Arjuna, a warrior prince, is filled with doubt and moral confusion about fighting in the war against his own relatives and teachers. Krishna's guidance is aimed at helping him navigate this crisis.
Preparedness to Learn: Arjuna's willingness to seek guidance and his openness to Krishna's teachings demonstrate his readiness to receive such profound knowledge. He acknowledges his confusion and seeks help, which is a prerequisite for spiritual learning.
Arjuna's Role: As a key figure in the Mahabharata, Arjuna embodies the struggles of duty (dharma) and righteousness. His internal conflict serves as a universal metaphor for the dilemmas faced by individuals in life.
