Namaste! Of all our faculties the human voice is the most precious. With it: We chant mantas to our gods, We whisper words of love to our beloved We sing our bhajans and offer it to our ishta devata We speak words of longing We touch our friends with words of affection. Let us this Sunday morning recall and remember the many voices of India as we celebrate together An Indian Morning.

He is worshipped as the eighth avatar of Vishnu and also as the supreme God in his own right. He is the god of protection, compassion, tenderness, and love and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Indian divinities. The anecdotes and narratives of Krishna's life are generally titled as Krishna Leela. He is a central character in the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, the Brahma Vaivarta Purana and the Bhagavad Gita, and is mentioned in many Hindu philosophical, theological, and mythological texts. श्रीकृष्ण, हिन्दू धर्म में भगवान हैं। वे विष्णु के 8 वें अवतार माने गए हैं। कन्हैया, श्याम, गोपाल, केशव, द्वारकेश या द्वारकाधीश, वासुदेव आदि नामों से भी उनको जाना जाता है। कृष्ण निष्काम कर्मयोगी, आदर्श दार्शनिक, स्थितप्रज्ञ एवं दैवी संपदाओं से सुसज्जित महान पुरुष थे। उनका जन्म द्वापरयुग में हुआ था। उनको इस युग के सर्वश्रेष्ठ पुरुष, युगपुरुष या युगावतार का स्थान दिया गया है। कृष्ण के समकालीन महर्षि वेदव्यास द्वारा रचित श्रीमद्भागवत और महाभारत में कृष्ण का चरित्र विस्तुत रूप से लिखा गया है। 01-ACHYUTAM KESHAVAM CD MISC-20250817 Track#01 11:36 SUPERHIT BHAJANS; ANKIT BATRA; TRADITIONAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hALfm47I16c जन्माष्टमी की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं!
