Krishna Janmashtami 2022
This year’s celebrations of Krishna Janmashtami (Krishna’s appearance day) was a very full day! Out on the back lawn, a Bhagavad Gita yajna was held with SPN residents, community and guests playing the part of pujaris while the Swamis chanted each of its 700 verses, honouring the pure knowledge that Lord Krishna gave to all of us.
Later, Guruji held a lovely sunset satsang in the garden, and then everyone went to the tent to see a play about the life and transformation of Saint Purandara Das. Immediately afterwards, it was time for singing and dancing to energetic bhajans until midnight, then Krishna abhishekam and a beautiful closing satsang by Guruji at 3 am.
The message for this special day is a timeless one: allowing Krishna to be born in our hearts, and to see each of the lilas of Krishna's life as reminders to destroy the negativity of the mind with the power of bhakti, devotion to God. May this day inspire us throughout the year!
