KRISHNA JANMASTAMI CELEBRATIONS: SEPTEMBER 5th AND 6th

On September 5th, the Brindavan campus boys put on a drama, ‘Sri Krishna Kuchela’, depicting the Sakhya Prema Bhava between Sri Krishna and his childhood friend Kuchela as a curtain raiser to the Krishna Janmastami celebrations. Though he is a childhood friend of the Lord of the Universe, Kuchela finds himself in penury in his adult life. His wife entreats him to ask Sri Krishna for help. When he reaches Sri Krishna’s palace, he is welcomed with high honour by Krishna who even washes Kuchela’s feet with His own hands. Sri Krishna also partakes with relish the beaten rice that Kuchela has brought as an offering. After some blissful days they part and Kuchela realises that he has forgotten to ask Krishna for help. When he finally reaches his hut, he is amazed to find it transformed into a palace and his wife and family living in comfort due to his childhood friend’s magnanimity.

On the morning of September 6th, Krishna Janmastami Day, Swami came to Sai Kulwant Hall dressed in a yellow robe, to the delight of all.
