What is Moksha?
Moksha is a Sanskrit word that means “liberation” or “freedom.” This wonderful concept teaches us that true happiness comes from within. In Hinduism, Moksha signifies the end of our worries and the bonding with God. It’s like being set free from a cage after a fun day of playing.
We all have something called our Atman, which is the true self inside us. When we understand our Atman and connect it with Brahman, who is the ultimate reality or God, we experience Moksha. It is the highest goal of life, along with Dharma (doing the right thing), Artha (using money wisely), and Kama (enjoying life).
In the Vedas and Upanishads, ancient texts filled with wisdom, it is said that by understanding our true self and letting go of all distress, we can find peace and joy. Just like a bird feels free when it flies in the open sky, our soul feels free when it is not trapped by too many desires, anger, or sadness. Moksha is the state where the soul shines in joy and unity with the universe.
Krishna's Teachings on Moksha
Bhagwan Krishna teaches us about Moksha in the Bhagavad Gita. He tells Arjuna that to find happiness and peace, we should do our duties and stay true to what is right, or Dharma. This balance between enjoying life and performing our responsibilities helps us become truly happy.

Finding Peace and Real Freedom.
Being free doesn’t mean running away; it means not being stuck to one thing all the time.
So, Moksha means:
Being free from too much anger or jealousy.
Being happy with what they have.
Loving and trusting God.
Finding joy in goodness.
Children, you can find Moksha by:
Practising Kindness: Spread smiles and help others. When you are kind, it creates happiness around you.
Being Grateful: Appreciate things you have, like friends, family, and nature. Gratitude connects us to the happiness inside.
Meditation and Mindfulness: Take a few moments each day to sit quietly and breathe deeply. This will help calm your mind and make you feel happier.
By doing these simple things, you learn to live in the moment and embrace happiness within yourself.
Dear children, Moksha is a wonderful journey of finding real freedom and peace through love, responsibility, and kindness. True happiness and freedom, called Moksha, are different from just toys, sweets, or fun. When we control our anger, desires, and worries, we feel calm and peaceful inside. By doing good deeds, thinking of God, and being wise, you can start feeling a little of this freedom even today.
