Narada then says that Krishna is not just a mere body which can be keep with oneself all your life, Krishna is Parandhama, the Cosmos itself – the Supreme Being! No phsycial object can outweigh such a mass. Parandhama comes down and manifests in the world only when moved by the devotion of the devotee.

He the reveals that only Rukmini sees Krishna for who He really is, and that only her devotion can move Him. Satyabhama realizes her mistake and understands who Krishna really is and apologizes to Rukmini for desiring to keep Him for herself. She requests Rukmini to do something so they can both have Krishna back from Narada.

Krishna again sits on the Tulabharam scale, with Rukmini on the other side knowing the omniscience of Krishna, knowing that a prayerful offering of a single Tulasi leaf can bring all of Krishna to oneself.

She places a single Tulasi leaf on the empty side of the Tulabharam and Krishna’s side of the scale lifts!

and in their mind only remembering Krishna alone, Krishna didn’t just earn the name Navaeeta Chora – the one who steals butter, but also the name Chitta Chora – the one who possesses and takes away your consciousness itself replacing it only with Him.

The Gopikas spent hours of physical labor churning butter, and did all of this for one single truth  – to experience again and again Krishna coming into their home and eating the butter they made, for Bhagavan to come as a child and have their food. That devotion, that simple love, that reverence for one’s Guru to manifest again and again in one’s life is the sacred sentiment we celebrate on Krishna Janmashtami.

Navaneetha is butter, which is significant to Krishna Bhagavan. As a small child He had brought tremendous prosperity in his hometown of Brindavanam, when His divine plays of stealing butter inspired all the women in the homes to churn out butter everyday, and pray that the Boy Krishna would come and steal the butter from their homes. This way He captured the hearts of all of the citizens of his hometown, and brought the whole Brindavanam to become the largest production of milk, curds, butter, and ghee in the whole land. Bringing about tremendous prosperity and abundance through His very leela. 

Embrace the celestial grace of this Krishna Janmashtami, a time when the very heavens seem to descend upon our earthly realm. In a grand gesture of devotion, we come forward to perform the Navaneetha Tulabharam, presenting the essence of our toil and labor as an offering to the divine.

As the golden butter – the result of our hard work and dedication – is gently heaped upon the divine scale, our hearts melt in profound devotion. The weight of our offerings is not merely measured in physical terms but resonates with the purity of our love, devotion, and commitment.

In this sacred ritual, we unlock the doors to boundless blessings, each more magnificent than the last: (Benefits)

• Abundant Prosperity showers upon us, filling our lives with opulence and abundance, allowing us to tread the path of prosperity with confidence and grace.
• Radiant Health infuses our beings, bestowing vitality and well-being, a precious gift that empowers us to seize life’s opportunities with unwavering strength.
• Dynamic Relationships flourish as we are enveloped in the divine’s love and grace. Our connections with others are deepened and enriched, fostering harmony and growth in our interpersonal bonds.

Krishna Janmashtami is not just a celebration; it is a divine communion. As we offer our labours, our devotion ignites, and the blessings we receive become a testament to the infinite abundance that flows through the divine realm into our lives. It is a moment of profound significance, a sacred journey of the soul, an epic chapter in our spiritual quest.

As the Gopikas did for Krishna, on this ocassion devotees from all over the world will be offering the Navaneeta Butter Tulabharam at the Divine lotus feet of our beloved Guru SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.
