Sweeter than honey, tastier than curd, pleasanter indeed than any happiness, and joy is the company, is the power of the name of Krishna. Janmashtami is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Krishna, one of the most powerful and famous reincarnations of Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu calendar, this festival is celebrated on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksh, or the 8th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadon. This day indicated the beginning of hope in the old times; hope that the malicious rule of Kansa would soon end.
To seek the blessings of Lord Krishna, Janmashtami was celebrated at DAV Public School, Cambridge Wing on September 6th, 2023, with mirth and joy. The fragrance of flowers, the soothing aroma of camphor, and the jingle of bells filled the air. While this religious significance is not lost, this day signifies a lot more to modern India. It signifies excitement, euphoria, and a joyous spirit of enthralmenment. It brought devotion, creativity, enjoyment, and fun all together. Ms. Anita Shukla and teachers of the Hindi faculty coordinated the event. Students, along with faculty members, worshipped Lord Krishna. The celebration began by offering homage full of devotion to Lord Krishna through Shri Krishna Aarti by students and faculty members. On this occasion, “Bhajans” and “Ras-Garba” programmes were organized.
