Today the 14th of August and its Janmashtami; The birth of Lord Krishna, it is celebrated with great devotion in India. Temples and homes are beautifully decorated and lit. Most of people keep fast on this auspicious day… (Which indeed seems a bit tough for me…)
An attractive feature of the celebrations are cribs & other decorations depicting stories of Lord Krishna's childhood. I love night arti when people wait for Krishna's birth its really so nice to hear it….."badi der bhai nand lala"………."nand mai anand" and many more……..& Dahi handi. It’s a great fun to watch…..enthusiasm for people waiting to break Dahi handi.
Krishna is always shown with his flute. He is considered to be the Hindu God of Music and is the patron god of Indian musicians of the traditional schools; irrespective of their religion…..Hopefully he will bring music, rhythm, peace, harmony & luv to everyone's life……Wishing every one a Happy Janmashtami!
