Happy Janmashtami

Friends
Today is Birthday of Lord Krishna. Being Ashtami as per Hindu calender, it is called as Janmashtmi. One of the holiest day for we Hindus. Exactly at 12 in night Lord Krishna born to Devaki when both Vasudev and Devaki were put into jail. It was Nandraiji who sacrificed his daughter and took away Lord Krishna as his Son. Kans (maternal Uncle of Krishna) had already killed six children of Sister Devaki . The 7th child would prove to be fatal for Kans as per Akashvani and hence he was waiting for the child to born so he can kill that. By swapping the child Kans killed the Daughter of Nandrai instead of Krishna. Rarely such friendship can be found where a friend swaps child for the sake of the nation and friendship. The life of Lord Krishna as 'Manav-Avatar' was full of challenges, events, fights and so on. Lord Krishna has given us teachings through Geeta and Mahabharat. If we follow even 5% of all the teachings, it can make huge difference in our life. To celebrate the Birthday , I had been to Jaipur where my Brother in Law, Rajeev Agrawal (Raja as we call fondly) had organised a grand Bhajan and dinner programme. The warmth, affection and commitment was unmachable. I adore and thank such people and family members who despite hectic schedules in business find the time and work for the enjoyment of family members. It is very tough to arrange and manage such programmes.
