Janmashtami is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Krishna, one of the most powerful and famous reincarnations of Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu calendar, this festival is celebrated on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksh or the 8th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadon. This day indicated the beginning of hope in the older times; hope, that the malicious rule of Kansa would soon end.
To seek the blessings of Lord Krishna, a special online Janmashtami was celebrated at St Columba’s School on 11th August, 2020 with mirth and joy. It brought devotion, creativity, enjoyment and fun all together. The celebration began by offering full devotion to Lord Krishna by recitation and explanation of one of the most important slokas of Holy Scripture Bhagwad Geeta. It was then followed by a skit which depicted the story and some rituals related to Lord Krishna.
