JANMASHTAMI

We celebrate his birthday every year on Janmashtami. It is the eighth day of the dark half of the Shravana month. On that day people dance in the streets. They form pyramids to reach earthen pots hung high. They snatch them to eat the curd and butter inside. Young Krishna played that way.

MEANINGS

Pranks - Play
Flute - A musical instrument.
Hero - One who is very brave.
Bhagavadgita - The Lord’s song.
Pyramid - People standing one over the shoulders of others.
Snatch - Pull down.
