From now on we will know more about Sri Krishna, Whose birthday celebrations are to be celebrated shortly. Only Sri Krishna's birthday is called Sri Jayanthi, while all other birthdays are named after that particular Avatar, like Sri Nrusimha Jayanthi,etc. Swami Desika says that the Lord should appear in his mind at the last moments of his life. Vishwaksena describes the glory of Sri Aniruddha, one of the Four Vyuha murthy. Here the Lord's one of the Six qualities - Shakti - is indicated. Adi Shankara interprets this Divine name to indicate the Lord's yoga power to drive out enemies. Swami Desika has composed Yadhavabhyudhayam, describing Sri Krishna's History. In that he mentions the marriage of Usha, daughter of Bhanasura, and Aniruddha, son of Pradhyumna and grand son of Sri Krishna and Sri Rukmini. In that, a fight emerges between Sri Krishna and Bhanasura. He compares the running away of people from learning good things to the running of Bhanasura. Vishwaksena also means devotees depend on Him as their life. He is the protector and without Him they would not live. They would not seek others for protection; rather they would perish. Gopikas are like that. Vishwaksena also means the Lord protecting with armies all around. When Swami Parashara Bhatta was asked to give a good advice, he recommended the person to always remember the beach. Not the ones we see regularly; but the beach at Thiruppullani, where the Lord Sri Rama and Lakshmana kept a watch all through night, so that the monkeys in the army were protected from the demons.
