A very exceptional Janmashtami Celebration
Giridhari Kamalanayana, Kumudavadana,Kamalanayana, Kumudavadana
Giridhari, Giridhari, Giridhari, Giridhari.
Satsang started in style to celebrate Janmashtami in the amphitheater, Guruji came to the decorated stage and started accepting all the flowers and Crowns ornamented with feathers of peacock- and odd enough – suddenly the skies started showering.
But today, he didn't raise another Govardhana to stop the showers. Just a glimpse towards the sky was enough.
Few people already started running towards Vishalakshi Mantap, thinking that the venue will be shifted – everybody got soaked a little bit in the shower - and a lot of chaos, confusion, laughter and fun prevailed for some time.
We continued to sit there, curious enough, to find that Guruji was not in a hurry at all.
HE stood up and glanced towards the skies – and probably that was enough to remind the God of the skies what happened long time back – the rain stopped and the crowd started cheering. If you were there, you knew – it was a very exceptional moment, because you can’t see him doing that every day.

“Today is the day of celebration. And you can’t be dry today” – he told with a mischievous smile – “You can go back and dance. We used to pour water, curd, milk and everything on each other during child hood right? Now even nature has joined the play. Today is the day of chaos and celebration”
During Rasaleela, Krishna took that many forms as Gopies, and danced with each one of them. Divine is very unique and personal.
Krishna told – ‘‘yo mam pasyati sarvatra sarvam ca mayi pasyati" - For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me. I'm with him always. He is the one with supreme intelligence.
Krishna is not a person, but the all encompassing consciousness.
All of you start reading Bhagvat Gita daily
Gita contains valuable spiritual knowledge, and Krishna has told everything – about three Gunas, Yoga, Spirituality, Pranayam, Food – everything.

Everybody danced and celebrated the Janmashtami, the birthday of Krishna.
