Birthday of Lord Krishna was celebrated in India and other parts of the world yesterday. Iskcon and other temples had pooja and celebration till late in the evening.
Krishna has influenced the Indian thought, life and culture in numerous ways. He has influenced not only its religion and philosophy, but also into its mysticism and literature, painting and sculpture, dance and music and all aspects of Indian folklore.
The birthday falls on the 8th day of the dark half of the month of Bhadrapada (August-September). This is one of the greatest of all Hindu festivals. Lord Krishna was born at midnight.
The birthday of such a favorite deity is bound to be a special occasion for the Hindus, who consider Krishna their leader, hero, protector, philosopher, teacher and friend all rolled into one.
I wish the Lord a very very happy birth day…!!!
