Rishikesh. The festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami was celebrated with devotion, joy and spiritual spirit at Parmarth Vidya Mandir. The students and teachers of the school celebrated the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna as a festival of resolve to awaken religion, love, prudence, compassion, courage and duty in life.

The birth anniversary of Shri Krishna is a remembrance of that divine moment when light appeared amidst darkness. This is not just an incident of Dwapar Yuga, but an eternal message for human consciousness that when fear increases in life, when truth comes under threat, when unrighteousness increases its influence, then God in some form or the other ignites the lamp of truth within us.

Janmashtami also reminds us that Shri Krishna was not born in any royal palace, but in the darkness of the prison. This is a very deep message of Sanatan Darshan, no matter how adverse the circumstances are, no prison can stop divinity from being born. The darkness outside cannot block the light, if faith is alive within.

In Parmarth Vidya Mandir, children brought alive the divinity of the birth anniversary through the tableau of child form of Shri Krishna, devotional and cultural presentations and various activities. The Krishna-Radha form of small children was extremely attractive, it was a beautiful reflection of our eternal tradition in which values ​​enter into the hearts of children through festivals before books.

Shri Krishna is such a wonderful personality of Indian culture who encompasses not just one aspect of life but the entire life. He is a butter thief as well as a manmohan, a childhood friend as well as a Jagadguru, a flute player and a Sudarshan holder too. They also teach the sweetness of love and the firmness of religion. They do not show the way to escape from life, but rather stand in the midst of life and teach the art of making it religious.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna not only teaches Arjun to fight, he teaches him to fight with his inner attachment, fear and illusion. This education is extremely important for today’s children and youth. Today’s Kurukshetra is more within than without, comparison, stress, fear of failure, attraction of social media, desire for quick success and growing confusion between right and wrong. At such times, Shri Krishna’s Geeta tells the young mind to have faith in one’s duty, turn work into worship and free oneself from worrying about the results. The premises of Parmarth Vidya Mandir were filled with devotion, joy and rituals.
