What is Janmashtami?Janmashtami marks the divine appearance of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who descended to this world over 5,000 years ago in Mathura, India. His birth wasn't ordinary—it was a divine intervention meant to restore righteousness, protect the innocent, and annihilate evil.Krishna’s life is a celebration of love, compassion, wisdom, and divine play (lila). From His enchanting childhood pastimes in Vrindavan to His timeless teachings in the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna continues to inspire millions around the globe.Janmashtami is more than a festival— It is a reminder to awaken the divine within, To live a life of purpose, and To connect with the eternal joy of Bhakti (devotional service).Devotees observe this sacred night with fasting, kirtan, storytelling, dramatic reenactments, and midnight celebrations, welcoming the Lord into their hearts and homes with love and devotion.Let this Janmashtami be your spiritual turning point— Celebrate not just Krishna’s birth, but your own rebirth in divine consciousness.
