Sri Krishna Janmastami

The birth of Lord Krishna is one of the greatest celebrations of the year, observed worldwide. Krishna appeared over 5000 years ago in Vrindavan, India. Krishna means "the All-Attractive One." He is the cause of all causes, the supreme personality of the entire creation, both material and spiritual. He is the God of all gods, the Lord in everything and yet separate from everything. This is the day when devotees not only remember Krishna's pastimes but also their own eternal relationship with Him. Devotees fast on this day until midnight, followed by a feast in His honor.
