वसुदेवसुतं देवं कंसचाणूरमर्दनम् । देवकी परमानन्दं कृष्णं वंदे जगद्गुरुम् ।
vasudeva-sutaḿ devaḿ kaḿsa-cāṇūra-mardanam
devakī-paramānandaḿ kṛṣṇaḿ vande jagadgurum
I bow to Lord Krishna, the son of Vasudeva, the source of mother Devaki's immense happiness, the brave one who killed the wicked Kamsa and Chanoora, and the supreme teacher of the whole universe.
Lord Krishna, the protector of the good and crusader of evil, is the heavenly father of the universe, who guides and shelters His devotees. An avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu, Lord Krishna’s stories, popularly known as Leelas, delight the listeners and awakens feelings of divine love, Bhakti (devotion), and the mindset to surrender with joy to Him.
The festival reminds us of the most beautiful and heart-warming leelas or pastimes of the supreme Lord Krishna! If you like to savor or read beautiful Krishna Leelas to your kids, you can go to this Blog that contains Shree Krishna's sweet childhood Leelas.
Join the magnificent Janmashtami celebrations at the Radha Krishna Temple of Dallas (Allen).
