The Lakshmi Narayan Mandir at 8321-140 Street in Surrey will be holding the Shri Krishan Janamashtmi Celebration on Thursday, August 25.
Shri Krishan Janamashtmi marks the celebration of the birth of Lord Sri Krishna. He was born to King Vasudeva and Devaki Devi on the eighth day of the dark fortnight, in the month of Sravana. This festival is also known as Sri Krishna Jayanti and Krishnashtmi.
Sri Krishna is considered as the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu (one of three major Hindu Gods) on earth. He is considered to be the Lord’s most glorious incarnation. It is said that his remembrance with true heart brings extreme joy and pleasure because Sri Krishna himself was a manifestation of joy at all levels and in all walks of life.
Krishna represents the total power of attraction (Aakarshna Shakti) like a magnet of infinite rise. Hence Krishna is the source of joy.
Program:
- Bhajan Kirtan 6:00pm

- Shri. Krishan Janamashtmi Satsang at 11.30pm onwards.
