The auspicious Hindu festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami was celebrated at BAPS Swaminarayan mandirs and centres around the UK and in Europe. The day consisted of a host of devotional festivities, including a ceremonial offering of food (the ‘annakut’), singing, chanting, and an arti signifying the auspicious birth. An englightening evening programme drew on the teachings and incidents of Shri Krishna Bhagwan from the Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwat Purana and Mahabharat, and illustrated how they can lead to a happy and harmonious life.
