Happy Birthday Lord Krishna!

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

The celebration for Lord Krishna continues!

 

Swamiji explained that today Lord Krishna's birth is also

celebrated as Gokulastami. Krishna's birth is celebrated in

Mathur as Janamasthami and the next day in Gokul as

Gokulastami. This is because Krishna was born in the jail from

Devaki at midnight and from Yashoda the next day in Gokul.

Vasudeva(Krishna's father) carried the baby Krishna across the

Jamuna river to Gokul to Yashoda. Yashoda had just given birth

to the Divine Mother. So the 2 babies were exchanged.

 

It was prophesied that the 8th child of Devaki would kill the

wicked King Kamsa and the King wanted to do away with this

child. When the King came to take this child

Devaki pleaded with him not to kill this baby girl. But the King

took the baby anyway and began to throw her up in the air.

Suddenly this baby transformed into the Divine Mother seated

upon a lion. She told the wicked King that the 8th child of Devaki

whom was predicted to kill him was long gone..... (Hare

Krishna!)

 

The celebration today is for Yashoda's birth of Krishna in Gokul.

So keep on singing, dancing and feasting my friends. The light

is here to stay.

 

Hari Krishna!

Hari Rama!

Happy birthday Gopal!
