JANMA ASHTMI – the birth anniversary of Shri Krishna Bhagwan, is being celebrated today   President of the Guyana Hindhu Dharmic Sabha, Pandit Reepu Daman Persaud said that Shri Krishna is purn avatar which means a full manifestation of God.  Janma Ashtmi occurs on the eighth day of the Hindu month Bhadu.  Shri Krishna was born in Mathura as the son of Devaki and his father is Nanda. Pandit Persaud further detailed that the eight incarnation of Lord Vishnu took place under circumstances which led ultimately to the Lord Himself descending on the earth following His declaration that His descent was to remove evil and restore it with Dharmic values.  Shri Krishna has delivered the message of life in the Bhagwad Gita on the battle field of Kurushetra.  The Bhagwad Gita stands out among Hindu scriptures as the most esteemed and inspirational message and brought in focus the varying yogas and philosophy which ought to govern life.

Services will be held in all mandirs throughout the country.  Pandit Reepu Daman Persaud will conduct Satsangh for Janma Ashtmi at Rama Krishna Dharmic Mandir, Barr Street Kitty, Georgetown at18:00 hours and at the Shri Krishna Mandir, Campbellville, Georgetown at 19:30 hours today.
