Devotees across North America gathered at BAPS Swaminarayan Mandirs to celebrate the auspicious birth of Bhagwan Shri Krishna, embracing the theme "Tav Gunānāmīsh Pāram Na Yāti," which reflects the boundless virtues of God.
A key highlight of the event was the cultural performances, where children and youth presented speeches and skits that vividly brought to life Bhagwan Shri Krishna's qualities, especially ajātshatrutā—one without enemies—and his profound humility. Dance performances, inspired by Krishna’s playful raas leela, beautifully showcased his divine love and joy. Adding to the spiritual atmosphere, video blessings from His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj deeply touched and uplifted the attendees, reinforcing their connection to Bhagwan Shri Krishna. The celebration ended with the joyous swinging of Shri Krishna’s cradle, a symbolic act representing renewal and Krishna's eternal presence in the hearts of his devotees.
Many devotees also observed waterless fasts as an expression of their devotion. Throughout the celebration, devotees reflected on Bhagwan Shri Krishna’s timeless virtues, deepening their appreciation for the values that continue to guide and inspire their spiritual journeys and daily lives.
