Krishna Janmashtami Festival 2024
Krishna Janmashtami Festival 2024 organised by Iskcon Barasat with five hundreds of devotees at Barasat near lali cinema hall.
Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita (4.7),
yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srijamy aham
“Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise in irreligion—at that time I descend Myself.” Srila Prabhupada writes that the word srijami in this verse is significant. He has translated it as “manifest” and explains that it cannot be translated to say that Krishna creates His form. Neither is He a soul who acquires a temporary material body as we do. Krishna’s forms or bodies are not created or acquired. They are forever existent. Whether He appears as four-armed Vishnu or as a smiling, effulgent little baby, He has the self-same perfect body throughout all time and circumstances. As He likes, He manifests Himself in His own particular way to deliver the suffering people in the material world.
. On this day, devotees observe fasting till midnight to get the blessings of Sri Krsna Janmastami. The celebrations will take place at Barasat.
On this night all the devotees fast and perform Abhishekam of Shri Krishna. Along with Abhishek, Harinam Sankirtan was happening.
