Today we celebrate the birth of Shri Krishna, the most entertaining of all saviours,
who was
born into this world to rid it of demonic evil,
and for the delight of His devotees.
Delightful babe,
beguiling cowherd,
In the previous era, the King and Queen came to the Krishna Temple on this day, to receive prasad -
It will be interesting to see if this year they come down to the temple from their mountain-top hideaway in Rani Ban as virtually ordinary citizens. Interesting as well will be to see if any of our newly elected Bolshevik Bahuns (Brahmins) shows up, and in what capacity.
Children dressed as Radha and Krishna parade through the streets
Radhe Shyam!
and for the delight of His devotees.
Delightful babe,
beguiling cowherd,
frolicsome
lover,
Universal Teacher of the Bhagavad Gita
From early morning devotees flock
to the Krishna Mandir in Patan for blessings.
Women, especially from the hills, keep an all night vigil at the temple,
singing devotional hymns and praying.
