Anchor 1:
A very warm and heartfelt good morning to one and all. Today, as the aura of devotion surrounds us, we
gather for a celebration soaked in spiritual bliss and divine remembrance — the sacred festival of
Janmashtami.
Anchor 2:
Yes! The birth of Shri Krishna was not an ordinary event — it was the turning point of an age. Born in the
most dangerous of circumstances, He proved that when dharma calls, no wall, no chain, no tyrant can
stop the arrival of divine truth.
Meaning: “To protect the righteous, to destroy evil, and to re-establish dharma, I manifest in every age.”
Anchor 1:
And that is why Janmashtami is not just about celebrating a birth — it’s about celebrating a message:
that whenever injustice rises, and hope seems lost, Krishna will be born again — not just in the world,
but in the heart of every believer.
Anchor 2:
Dear Audience,this morning is going to be a journey through devotion — from the powerful surrender of
Khatu Shyam Ji Darbar, to the inspiring Krishna Leela, from soul-touching Bhajan Sandhya, to the
spiritually uplifting Maha Aarti.
Anchor 1:
"Janmashtami is not only about Krishna’s birth in Mathura; it’s about Krishna being born in every heart
that believes!"
Anchor 2:
So, as we begin, let us ensure our minds are attentive, our hearts are open, and our actions today reflect
the values that Shri Krishna stood for — truth, courage, and righteousness.
LAMP LIGHTING
Anchor 1:
"As we gather this morning in honour of Shri Krishna’s birth, our celebration must begin with one of the
most timeless traditions in Indian culture — the lighting of the ceremonial [Link] flame is more than
just light. It is the eternal messenger of wisdom, purity, and righteousness. From the earliest Vedic times
to today’s modern world, the act of lighting a lamp has signified the victory of truth over falsehood,
knowledge over ignorance, and virtue over evil."
Anchor 1 (continuing):
"In this sacred moment, we are not simply beginning a program. We are invoking an ancient call — a call
to awaken the best within us and to let the light of values guide our path forward."
Anchor 2:
"Yes! In our tradition, this lamp is called Deepam, and every part of it has meaning. The oil or ghee
represents our faith and devotion, the wick represents our mind, and the flame represents our inner
spirit.
When we light the lamp, it’s as if we are promising to keep our faith steady, our thoughts pure, and our
spirit bright — no matter how much darkness the world may hold."
“In the light of the lamp, may we behold Shri Krishna." As the glow of the lamp spreads warmth across
this space, may the spirit of Shri Krishna awaken joy, wisdom, and devotion in every heart present. Let
this divine beginning lead us into a series of soulful celebrations ahead.
Anchor 1:
That is exactly what Janmashtami stands for. Over 5,000 years ago, when injustice, cruelty, and fear
were at their peak, the birth of Shri Krishna became the dawn that ended the night of oppression. And
today, we light this flame as a reminder that no matter how great the darkness, even a single light is
enough to begin change."
Anchor 2:
"And this is not just symbolic. Light has a practical, powerful message for each of us. Just as one lamp
can light another without losing its own glow, our courage, kindness, and values can spread to others
without ever diminishing. When we choose to live with honesty and compassion, we ignite a chain of
light that can transform entire communities."
Anchor 1:
"So, as we invite our respected Principal and esteemed guests to light this ceremonial lamp, let us
remember that the true flame we seek to light today is in our hearts. A flame of integrity that will not
flicker in the winds of difficulty. A flame of humility that will burn without pride. And a flame of service
that will shine even in times when it’s easier to turn away."
Anchor 2:
'दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तुते'
It is believed that where the lamp of devotion burns, there ignorance cannot survive, and where faith is
steady, there fear has no place."
Anchor 1:
"So, as the first glow of this sacred flame appears, may it remind us of Shri Krishna’s unwavering
message — to stand for truth, to act with courage, and to serve with love for all."
Anchor 2:
"Let us watch this light rise, not as spectators but as participants, silently taking a vow to carry its
brightness into our daily lives. Because festivals are not meant to be only remembered — they are
meant to be lived, every single day, through our actions."
Anchor 1:
"And with this flame, we formally open our Janmashtami celebration, seeking the blessings of the
Almighty to guide us in this journey of devotion and duty."
Anchor 2:
"May this light be our witness, our guide, and our constant reminder that the path of righteousness is
never truly dark — it is always lit for those willing to walk it."
"As the morning sun gently lights up the sky and the spirit of Janmashtami fills the air, we now approach
one of the most awaited moments — the arrival of our esteemed guests.
Their presence here is not just a formality; it is a sign of their affection, encouragement, and support for
our institution and for this celebration of Shri Krishna’s birth."
Anchor 1
"In our culture, welcoming a guest is not a task — it is a joy and a sacred responsibility. Our scriptures
remind us:
Anchor 2:
"Yes! And today, our guests are more than visitors — they are partners in the spirit of this festival. Their
arrival adds an extra glow to the light of our celebration, much like the morning rays that bring life to a
new day.
Every step they take towards this gathering brings with it blessings, inspiration, and an energy that will
make today’s program truly special."
Anchor 1:
"As we see them making their way in, let us remember that Shri Krishna Himself, though the Supreme
Lord, welcomed saints, friends, and even strangers with open arms and warm respect. He showed us
that honouring others is an act of humility and strength."
Anchor 2:
"And just like in the time of Krishna, where each guest to His home in Dwarka was treated with care,
love, and genuine respect, we too open our hearts and our celebration to greet our honoured guests
today."
Anchor 1:
"Dear audience, this moment is not only ceremonial — it is emotional. Because the arrival of our guests
marks the beginning of our shared journey through devotion, culture, and inspiration on this auspicious
day."
Anchor 2
"So, as they arrive, let us stand in respect, wear our brightest smiles, and let our applause be the music
that welcomes them. Because applause is not just sound — it is an expression of unity, gratitude, and
happiness."
Anchor 1:
"We invite each of our esteemed guests to take their seats on stage, where they will soon light the
ceremonial lamp and guide us through their blessings and presence."
Anchor 2:
"May their arrival be a reminder to us all that life is enriched not only by what we do alone but by the
people we welcome and honour along the way."
WELCOMING OF GUESTS
Anchor 1:
"As the light of the ceremonial lamp now fills this space with warmth and purity, it is time to extend our
heartfelt greetings to the honoured guests who grace this occasion.
Welcoming a guest has always been considered sacred in our culture. In fact, our scriptures proclaim:
Anchor 1 (continuing):
"This is not just a polite saying — it is a way of life. To welcome someone into our gathering is to
acknowledge their presence as a blessing, a part of our celebration’s grace and strength."
Anchor 2:
"Yes! And on this holy morning of Krishna Janmashtami, the presence of our guests adds to the joy,
devotion, and energy of our celebration. Your time, your blessings, and your encouragement mean more
to us than words can fully express.
It is said that when a noble guest arrives, they bring with them an unseen aura of goodwill and blessings
that enrich the entire gathering."
Anchor 1:
"Today, we are privileged to have among us distinguished personalities — leaders in education, guiding
lights for students, and inspiring role models for society. Their very presence reflects the values that Shri
Krishna taught — wisdom, humility, and dedication to dharma."
Anchor 2:
"In honouring our guests, we are also honouring the tradition of *respect*, which Krishna Himself lived
by. Though He was the Supreme Lord, He bowed before His elders, respected His friends, and treated
everyone with dignity, regardless of their status."
Anchor 1:
"So, as we proceed with our welcome, let us remember that our guests are not here merely to observe
— they are here to share in the spirit of devotion, celebration, and inspiration. Their words today will
guide us, and their blessings will strengthen our resolve to follow the righteous path."
Anchor 2:
"In this moment, I request all present to join us in offering a warm round of applause as we honour our
respected guests with floral greetings. These flowers are not just a tradition — they are a symbol of our
love, gratitude, and joy at their presence."
Anchor 1:
"May the blessings of Shri Krishna be upon them, and may their journey always be guided by the same
light we lit in our ceremonial lamp — a light that never fades, a light that always leads forward."
Anchor 2:
"And as our honoured guests take their seats, let us keep our hearts open and our attention focused, for
the wisdom they share and the example they set are a true part of today’s celebration."
DAHI HANDI
“नंद के घर आनंद भयो, जय कहैया है लाल की!”
The joy of Gokul echoes again — For the Makhanchor is not just remembered… he is relived. As we now
move into one of the most awaited and lively moments of Janmashtami — the Dahi Handi, we are not
merely watching a ritual; we are becoming part of a living leela, a divine memory.
Anchor 1:
"Dear audience, hold your breath and let your hearts beat to the rhythm of excitement… because the
moment we’ve all been waiting for is here! The thrill of Dahi Handi — a festival that reminds us of our
beloved Makhan Chor, Shri Krishna, who would go to any height for butter."
This isn’t just celebration — it’s a reflection of faith, fearlessness, and the innocent joy that only Krishna
brings. And now, as hearts rise in devotion and spirits sway in bliss, let every soul echo the timeless
chant:
Anchor 2:
"Today, we relive that same spirit — the teamwork, the courage, and the joy — as our brave Govindas
prepare to conquer the Handi hanging high above. Each step they climb is a step closer to victory, each
hand they hold is a promise of unity."
Anchor 1:
"And now… look up! The pyramid is rising… steady, strong, and full of determination. The crowd’s
energy is electric, and your cheers will push them higher."
"Haathi Ghoda Palki… Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki!" (Repeat with the audience twice)
"And there it is… the Handi bursts into joy! The curd and flowers shower down like blessings from the
heavens."
Anchor 2:
"This is much more than breaking a Handi — it is a symbol of determination, unity, and the celebration
of togetherness."
Anchor 1:
In this moment, we do not just remember Krishna — we become the joy he brought to the world. This
isn’t just about reaching the handi — it’s about rising above fear, rising in unity, and rising with love. Let
the celebration begin!
FANCY DRESS
Today, we present to you a delightful fancy dress event titled ‘Blooming Birds of Mathura’ — a tribute to
the spirit and stories of Krishna’s childhood.
Anchor 1:
“But why do we call this event ‘Blooming Birds of Mathura’? What does it truly signify?”
Anchor 2:
“The term ‘Blooming Birds’ represents our young participants — full of color, life, and joy — just like the
vibrant land of Mathura during Lord Krishna’s time. Each child, through their costume and expression, is
like a blossoming flower or a melodious bird adding charm to Krishna’s divine story.” Anchor 1:
“Just as birds bring life to a forest, our children bring spirit to this celebration. Through their
performances today, we will revisit tales of Krishna’s playfulness, his mischief, and his eternal message
of love.”
Anchor 2:
“So let us prepare ourselves to witness a heartwarming spectacle as our little Radhas, Krishnas, Gopikas,
and divine beings take the stage in all their festive glory.”
Anchor 1:
“We request you all to encourage every participant with your warm applause and appreciation.” “With
that, the spirit of Vrindavan just danced through this hall!” “Another blooming bird of Mathura has
taken flight — truly mesmerizing!”
"Dear friends, get ready for a performance overflowing with innocence, charm, and those tiny twirls that
are sure to steal your hearts away.
What happens when tiny feet tap to the rhythm of big dreams?
You witness something magical… something so pure and heartwarming that every smile in the audience
grows wider, every heart feels lighter, and the entire hall begins to glow with joy.
Today’s performance is not just about movement — it’s about the magic of childhood, where every step
is a discovery, every gesture is honest, and every beat is filled with unfiltered happiness."
Anchor 2:
"These are not just steps to music — these are little expressions of happiness, little stories told through
tiny hands and bright eyes, and little dreams dancing fearlessly under the spotlight.
We now invite our shining little stars from Class I and II, who have been practicing with the kind of
excitement only children can have — the kind that fills the air with positivity and makes you forget every
worry, even if just for a few minutes.
When children perform, they don’t just follow choreography — they bring life to the stage in a way no
one else can."
Anchor 1:
"They are here to sprinkle this stage with unmatched cuteness, boundless energy, and the fearless joy of
being young. Every jump will feel like a burst of happiness, every spin will carry a wave of innocence, and
every clap will echo the celebration of life itself."
Meaning in English: “When children dance, it’s not just the stage that sways, our hearts dance too — for
every step is innocence, every smile is joy, and every move is a celebration of life.”
Anchor 2:
"So, dear audience, let’s make sure our little Krishna and Radha-like stars feel the love they deserve.
Clap with all your heart, cheer with all your energy, and let them know that their efforts and courage to
stand here mean the world to us."
Anchor 1:
"Let’s give them the loudest applause they have ever heard, and welcome the cutest, most joy-filled
performance of the day — here come our Class I and II performers!"
"Dear Audience, get ready for a performance that blends youthful energy with the grace of devotion.
When the enthusiasm of growing minds meets the rhythm of music, the result is nothing short of
spectacular.
These are no longer the tiny twirls of early childhood — these are confident steps, expressive gestures,
and vibrant movements that show hard work, discipline, and passion. Today, our young performers from
Class VI to VIII are ready to turn this stage into a celebration of joy and dedication."
Anchor 2:
"Yes! Every beat they move to, every expression they wear, will tell a story — a story of practice,
teamwork, and the courage to perform in front of all of you.
At this age, dance is not just play, it’s art. And through this art, our young talents will bring alive the
colours of Krishna Janmashtami, filling this hall with the energy of youth and the devotion of the heart."
Anchor 1:
"These students have spent days perfecting every step, synchronizing every move, and putting their
hearts into every formation. What you will see today is not just a performance — it’s the result of
dedication, focus, and the belief that devotion can be expressed not only in words, but also through
movement."
“नृत्यं भावप्रकाशनम्।”
Anchor 2:
"So, dear audience, don’t just watch with your eyes — watch with your hearts. Feel the rhythm, the
coordination, and the joy in every move. These are the years when dreams grow big, and today, these
young dancers are showing us that with commitment, even those dreams can come alive under the
spotlight."
Anchor 1:
"Let’s make sure their efforts are met with the applause they truly deserve. Get ready for a performance
that is graceful, powerful, and deeply connected to the devotion of Janmashtami."
Anchor 2:
"With your loudest cheers and warmest claps, let us welcome to the stage our amazing Class VI to VIII
performers — ready to dance their way into our hearts!"
KHATTU SHYAM JI
Anchor 1:
"Dear Audience, our journey now brings us to the divine darbar of **Khatu Shyam Ji** — the form of
Krishna who blesses the faithful and answers every prayer of devotion.
Khatu Shyam Ji’s story is one of supreme sacrifice and faith. He was Barbarika, the grandson of Bhima, a
warrior whose strength was unmatched."
Anchor 2:
"Yes! He possessed three arrows powerful enough to end the Mahabharata war in a single day. But
Krishna, knowing the consequences, tested him. In that test of faith, Barbarika offered his head without
hesitation.
'In Kaliyuga, you will be worshipped as Shyam. Whoever prays to you with true faith will never leave
empty-handed.'"
Anchor 1:
"And from that moment, Khatu Shyam Baba became a living symbol of devotion and surrender. His
darbar in Rajasthan is not just a temple — it is a place where broken hearts find hope, and restless souls
find peace."
Anchor 2:
"Khatu Shyam Baba teaches us that the greatest strength is not in fighting battles alone but in
surrendering them to Him."
Anchor 1:
"When we bow before Shyam Baba, we are not giving up — we are rising higher, letting faith lead the
way. His darbar has seen countless miracles because He lives not in rituals but in the trust of His
devotees."
Anchor 2:
"So, this morning, as we stand in His symbolic darbar, let us put aside our doubts and surrender with
open hearts. For the one who gave his head for devotion will never ignore a heart that bows with love."
DRAMA
Anchor 1:
"There are performances that entertain, and then there are performances that inspire. Today’s drama
belongs to the latter. It is a story that may not be about Krishna directly, yet it carries values that He
Himself cherished — truth, compassion, courage, and devotion.
Drama, as an art form, is not just acting. It is the mirror of life. It allows us to see our own strengths,
weaknesses, and dreams reflected on stage. Every character we meet is not just a role in a script — it is
a part of the human experience, a part of us."
Anchor 2
"Yes! And that’s the beauty of a performance like this — even if it’s set in a different time or place, the
lessons it holds are timeless. Just as the Bhagavad Gita’s wisdom applies to every life situation, the
message of this drama speaks to the human heart across generations.
It reminds us that values are not bound to one era, one hero, or one festival. Whether it is the time of
the Mahabharata or the modern day, principles like honesty, unity, and compassion remain the pillars of
a meaningful life."
Anchor 1:
"Today’s performance is more than lines spoken on a stage. It is an offering. An offering from the hearts
of our performers — who have spent days practicing, memorizing, and perfecting their craft — to each
of you seated here.
They bring not just talent, but sincerity. Not just rehearsed dialogue, but a desire to touch hearts.
Because theatre is not only about telling a story; it is about moving the soul."
Anchor 2:
"And as we sit here, let us not just watch with our eyes, but with our hearts. Every scene, every pause,
every emotion is an invitation — an invitation to reflect, to connect, and to carry something meaningful
back with us when the final curtain falls."
Meaning in English: “Your right is to perform your duty, not to claim its fruits.”
Anchor 1
"This drama also reminds us of a truth that Krishna Himself taught — that life is about doing our best,
with sincerity, and without being consumed by the outcome. In a way, every performer on this stage
today is living that lesson — they have given their best in rehearsals, and now they offer it without
expectation, only with devotion."
Anchor 2
"And let us not forget, a drama is never just the work of those in front of the curtain. It is the silent
teamwork of those behind the scenes — the organizers, the costume designers, the sound technicians
— all coming together to create one shared moment of magic."
Anchor 1:
"So as the lights dim and the story begins, open your mind to the lessons it may carry, even if they come
disguised as humour, suspense, or emotion. Sometimes, the most important truths reach us not through
sermons, but through stories."
Anchor 2:
"Dear audience, let this drama be more than an event in our program list today. Let it be an experience.
An experience that stirs your thoughts, lifts your spirit, and maybe even inspires a change in the way you
see the world."
Anchor 1
"And now, with your hearts ready and your applause warm, let us welcome on stage the talented
performers who are about to present today’s drama. Let us encourage them with the loudest cheer, for
in their effort and passion, they bring honour to this celebration of Janmashtami."
AARTI
Anchor 1:
"Dear devotees, we now arrive at the most awaited and sacred moment of this morning’s celebration —
the Maha Aarti of Shri Krishna.
Aarti is not just a ceremony; it is the soul’s expression of love, gratitude, and devotion. The flame we
hold in our hands is not mere fire — it is the light of our own spirit, offered back to the Divine.
It is said that when we raise the lamp before the Lord, we are placing our joys, our struggles, and our
very existence in His care, trusting that His grace will guide us through every path of life."
Anchor 2:
"In every temple across the land, Aarti marks the moment when the mortal meets the eternal. The
ringing of bells, the rhythmic clapping, and the deep sound of the conch create an atmosphere so pure,
it feels as if the walls between heaven and earth dissolve.
During this sacred act, we do not just stand before an idol — we stand in the presence of the One who
knows our hearts better than we know ourselves. And in that presence, words are no longer needed; the
lamp speaks for us, carrying our devotion through its glow."Anchor 1:
"The circle of the lamp is not random — it represents the **endless cycle of life**, which begins and
ends with the Divine. As the flame moves around the Lord’s form, we are reminded that every breath,
every heartbeat, is part of His creation, and that we too are bound to Him in an unbreakable bond."
Anchor 2:
"And it is believed, that in the moments of Aarti, even the celestial beings — the Gandharvas, the sages,
the guardians of the heavens — pause to bow before the glory of Shri Krishna. Such is the power of this
moment, that the vibrations of devotion travel far beyond this room, touching the corners of the
universe.
Meaning in English: 'Through devotion arises love, and through love, one attains Krishna Himself.
Anchor 1:
"When we offer the lamp, it is not just our hands that move — it is our soul that bows. Each flame
carries a prayer. Some flames carry gratitude for blessings already received. Some carry tears for
troubles that need His help. And some carry silent whispers of dreams yet to come true.
No matter what we bring to Him, He accepts it — not because of its grandeur, but because of the
sincerity in our hearts."
Anchor 2:
"Look closely at the lamp — the steady flame, the gentle heat, the fragrance of the ghee — each part
holds meaning. The flame stands for purity, the warmth for compassion, and the fragrance for the
sweetness of divine love.
In the same way, a devotee’s life should also shine brightly with truth, spread warmth through kindness,
and fill the air with the fragrance of good deeds."
Anchor 1:
"In the light of this Aarti, even the darkest corners of our mind find clarity. The burdens we carry feel
lighter, the doubts we hold begin to fade. This is not magic — it is the power of remembering who holds
our destiny. And that remembrance fills us with a peace that no storm can shake."
Anchor 2:
"Shri Krishna is called 'Bhavabandhana Mochaka' — the liberator from all worldly bonds. When we stand
before Him with the lamp, we are not asking for escape from life, but for the strength to live it with
courage, joy, and righteousness.
And when the light touches His lotus face, it feels as if He is looking back at us with that same playful
smile that once enchanted the Gopis of Vrindavan."
Anchor 1:
"So, dear devotees, let us not treat this Maha Aarti as just another ritual in today’s program. Let us treat
it as a meeting — a meeting with the One who has walked with us in our joys and sorrows, the One
whose grace has carried us even when we did not realise it."Anchor 2:
"As we rise together for this sacred act, let us make a silent promise in our hearts — that when we leave
this place, we will carry the flame of this devotion with us. That our words, our actions, and our thoughts
will reflect the light we are about to offer.
For the flame of Krishna’s love does not burn out when the lamp is set down — it burns within us,
guiding us, protecting us, and blessing us in every step of life."
Anchor 1
"And now, with folded hands, steady hearts, and eyes filled with devotion, let us all rise for the **Maha
Aarti of Shri Krishna**. May this sacred light purify our hearts, illuminate our minds, and fill our lives
with eternal peace."
BHAJAN
Anchor 1:
"And now, dear devotees, let us prepare our hearts for Bhajan — that sacred space where music turns
into prayer, and every note becomes a pathway leading us closer to Shri Krishna.
Bhajans are not just songs. They are conversations between the soul and the Divine. Each word is like a
flower offered at Kanha’s lotus feet, and each melody is a step that takes us deeper into His boundless
love."
Anchor 2:
"Yes! True bhajans are never sung to impress; they are sung to express. They don’t demand a perfect
voice — they only ask for a pure heart. Because in the realm of devotion, the Lord hears not the sound
of the throat, but the cry of the soul.
When the heart sings for Krishna, something magical happens — burdens feel lighter, tears turn into
smiles, and peace flows like the Yamuna under the moonlight."
Anchor 1:
"In Vrindavan, it is believed that even the trees sway, the rivers hum, and the winds carry His name
when devotees sing together. And today, as we join in this chorus of love, let this hall transform into
Vrindavan itself — alive with joy, filled with fragrance, and echoing with the name of Govinda."
Anchor 2:
Sanskrit Quote:
Meaning in English:* “One who sings the Lord’s name with joy brings Hari Himself close.”
"This is the secret of bhajan — it is not about music reaching our ears, it is about devotion reaching His
heart. When many voices unite in the name of Krishna, He cannot resist but come to bless His
devotees."
Anchor 1:
"So audience, don’t just listen — sing! Let every beat of the tabla, every note of the harmonium, and
every clap of your hands be a declaration that Krishna lives within us. Let your voice be fearless, because
in this music, there is no judgment — only love."
Anchor 2:
"Close your eyes, fold your hands, and let this music take you to that eternal Vrindavan, where joy never
ends, where love is pure, and where the only sound is the name of Krishna.
In this moment, let us not count the minutes — let us lose ourselves in the rhythm of devotion, so that
when we return to the world outside, we carry this peace with us in our hearts."Anchor 1
"And now, with hearts open and voices ready, let us welcome our bhajan singers, and join them in
making this morning not just a celebration, but a living prayer."
CLOSING
Anchor 1
"What a divine journey this has been! From the sacred darbar of Khatu Shyam Ji, to the inspiring
performances, from the soulful bhajans to the sacred Maha Aarti — every moment today has been a
step closer to Kanha’s lotus feet.
We have not just witnessed a program; we have lived a prayer. Each segment of today’s celebration was
like a chapter in the story of devotion — reminding us that faith is not measured in rituals alone, but in
the love that fills our hearts when we remember Him."
Anchor 2:
"Yes! Janmashtami is not just a date on the calendar or a tradition to be followed. It is a living reminder
that Krishna is not far away — He walks with us in every act of kindness, He smiles in every prayer
whispered in faith, and He dwells in every heart that calls His name with sincerity.
And when we keep His name alive in our lives, we find that even the most ordinary days turn
extraordinary, because the Lord Himself becomes our companion."
Anchor 1:
"Where there is Krishna, there is victory. Where there is love, there is Krishna. And where there is
Krishna, there is a light that no darkness can overcome.
Let this light shine in our homes, in our communities, and in our hearts — so that our actions reflect His
wisdom, our words carry His truth, and our lives echo His divine play."
Anchor 2:
Today, as we leave this celebration, let us carry the blessings we have received. Let our faith be strong
enough to face trials without fear, our love deep enough to heal wounds, and our devotion constant
enough to guide us through every season of life.
May we all live in such a way that when people meet us, they feel the warmth of Krishna’s love flowing
through us."
Anchor 1
"And with that sacred thought, dear devotees, we conclude this year’s Janmashtami celebration. May
Lord Krishna bless each one of you with joy that knows no end, peace that withstands every storm, and
love that grows with every heartbeat.
