JANMASHTAMI

The birthday of Krishna is celebrated according to the Indian lunar calendar. It falls on the eighth day of the waning moon between mid-August and mid-September.

"He who perceives Me everywhere and beholds everything in Me never loses sight of Me, nor do I ever lose sight of him.

That yogi stays forever in Me, who, anchored in divine unity whatever his mode of existence, realizes Me as pervading all beings.

O Arjuna, the best type of yogi is he who feels for others, whether in grief or pleasure, even as he feels for himself." --Bhagavan Krishna, in the Bhagavad Gita
