On the occasion of Janmashtami, I extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to you and your family, especially children. Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna is the day to recall feelings Bhakti (devotion) and Bhav (intent). In various parts of the country rather the entire world, Janmashtami is celebrated in a major way through different ways. The most common image of Janmashtami is that of ‘Dahi Handi’ wherein a sea of Krishna Bhakts assemble to see youngsters attempting to break the earthen pot filled with milk cream. Lord Krishna, the ‘Makhan Chor’ is always remembered as Sakha (friend) and protector of cows. Lord Krishna stands for decimating the evil. In his infant days he escaped the evil designs of Kansa. The image of a youngster from Vrindavan with cows to a divine figure in the Mahabharata always serves as a blessing for us. He always personified divinity and enlightenment. In the middle of ‘Mahabharata’, he gave us the message of life in the form of the ‘Bhagwat Gita’. He showed us the way of life by teaching ‘Nishkam Karmyog’ or selfless service.
