To feel the air with melody of his divine flute,

To bless the earth with love

To show us the right path

The Supreme Lord, Krishna, was born.

Janmastami is not just a celebration of his birth, it is to adore his ‘Leela’.

As India prepares for this Divine festival, the temples fill with the divine ‘Mantra’, the auspicious smell of the ‘Arati’.

Janmastami isn’t just tradition but the feelings, the emotions. The emotions you feel while listening to his ‘Baal Leela’. The emotions when you imagine yourself touching his Lotus feet. And if you’re still wondering how you know if the divine has touched your heart? Just look at your little one dressed in Krishna ji’s attire. Isn’t it devotion?

What is Janmashtami and Why Is It Celebrated in India?

Janmastami, the birth of Krishna ji - 8th Avatar of Lord Vishnu. He is considered as the most adorable deity in Hinduism. This divine festival is celebrated on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the month of the ‘BHADRAPADA’.

On a stormy night,in Mathura, a divine child was born to erase the darkness and restore ‘DHARMA’.

The birth of this child is not ordinary. According to the scriptures, the prison, where his parents were captivated, trembled and opened, the river Yamuna parted to give him a path, the whole nature welcomed the Protector.

And this sacred moment is what we celebrated as Janmastami.

This festival is not only celebrated to cherish the moment of his birth - it’s a celebration of what he gave us in his human birth - the bond, the cuteness of his ‘Baal Leela’ and most importantly the life lessons. From stealing the ‘Makhan’ to lifting the ‘Govardhan Hill’, from dancing with Gopis to guiding Arjuna in the battlefield of ‘Kurukshetra’- every story heals us with love, teaches us the life-lessons with wisdom.
