Sri Krishna Janmasthami Celebration at VVF

Sri Krishna Jayanthi was celebrated at Anandadham on 28thAugust. For all the Keralites it is ‘Asthami Rohini Day’. Throughout Kerala this day is celebrated with Sobha Yatras of small children dressed as Sri Krishnas. All the parents would like to see their wards dressed as Sri Krishna or Gopikas or various characters of the Bhagavata Maha Puran. Anandadham was vibrating with the presence of Kutty Krishnas on the happy occasion of Astami Rohini. It was an opportunity for all the Mothers to feel the Motherhood of Yashoda while dressing up their children as little Sri Krishna. All the children from Sandeepani Sishuvihar and other children from neighborhood participated in the programme. All together taking the gopikas, gopalas and Yashodas, there were 40 children on stage. Children with best performance on stage were given token of appreciation. Singing of Krishna bhajans and dancing on the tune of songs were also part of the programme. After exhibiting their talents all the children and parents together went to Brindavan to pay their respects to the Krishna Statue. Lastly the ‘Uriyadi’ or breaking the pot was the most interesting part of the programme. Anandham was transformed into a mini Vrindavan on that day.
