Devotees thronged to ISKCON Temple throughout the country on the occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami to offer prayers to Lord Krishna on Monday.
ISKCON National Communications Director & VP, East Of Kailash Vrajendra Nandan Das said that ‘Maha Arti’ will be held at midnight. Devotees gathered at the ISKCON Temple in the East of Kailash to celebrate Lord Krishna’s birthday with full pomp and devotion. An aarti was performed at Dwarka’s ISKCON Temple on this occasion.
Morning aarti was also performed at Shri Lakshmi Narayan Temple, also known as Birla Temple. Vrajendra Nandan Das said, “ISKCON is organising Shri Krishna Janmashtami in the entire world. As soon as the doors of ISKCON Delhi opened today at 4.30 pm, thousands of devotees thronged the temple to have a glimpse of the god. The ‘Maha Abhishek’ will begin at 9:30 pm, and later at 11 pm ‘Chhappan Bhog’ will be offered to Lord Krishna. ‘Maha Arti’ will be held at midnight. I hope more than 5 lakh devotees will offer their prayers today”.
He appealed to the devotees to follow the teachings of Lord Krishna and Bhagwat Gita for prosperity and progress. “The youth of today should stay away from drugs and restrictions on non-veg. Such activities should be performed which makes people in the entire world happy,” he added.
