The Bhagavad Gita says that one who laughs is Narayana and one who cries is 
Nara. When Nara, represented by Arjuna was crying in a despondent mood, 
Narayana, represented by Krishna was at ease, even on the battlefield. We laugh 
only when we are happy. When we are happy, we not only laugh but also try to 
sing some songs. Those who have a sweet voice will sing in public. Those who do 
not have a sweet voice, will at
least sing in the bathroom. 

Krishna had a sweet voice and perfect knowledge of Raga and Tala and so he was 
singing the Gita even on the battlefield. The word Gita means song and amidst 
many difficulties on the battlefield, it is only a Krishna who can sing. This 
shows that God is the embodiment of happiness. Everyone of You must keep your 
mind and body in good condition. You should use your body for the sake of 
establishing truth and righteousness in the country. You must remember that 
Indian culture of which you are the custodians, should be re- established by 
you.
