Janmashtami celebrations at Gokuldham Haveli

Shri Krishna Janmotsav and Nanda Bhavan festival was celebrated in Gokuldham Haveli on Tuesday evening in the presence of Shashth Pithadhishwar Reverend Dwarakeshlal Ji Maharajshree, of Shree Kalyanraiji Temple of Vadodara, who had returned after three years to Gokuldham Haveli in Atlanta.AT_Janmashtami2_10_22.jpg

The center of attraction was the decoration of Nand Bhavan prepared for the occasion by the decoration team of Gokuldham. On the occasion, devotees shouted Nand Gher Anand Bhayo, Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki and immersed themselves in the joy of Shree Krishna Janmotsava.

After Srikrishna Janmotsav, Srikrishna Charitamrut Satsang was organized at Sri Jagadguru Hall in Gokuldham. On this occasion, Maharajshree described and explained the five principles of devotion: that if we constantly worship the Lord with any one of the five bhavas(senses), this soul can never be separated from God. He described these bhavas as Vatsalya (affection) Bhava, Sakhya (Friend) Bhava, Madhurya (Love) Bhava, Dasa (Servant) Bhava, and Karma (Service) Bhava. He said that even if Kansa took Krishna's name out of fear, he would be liberated; that Krishna never leaves the hand and companionship of those who worship Him with devotion.

Gokuldham Chairman Ashok Patel, Executive Secretary Tejas Patwa, Treasurer Kintu Shah, Jigar Shah, Subodh Shah, Dr. Indra Shah, Hetal Shah, Sameer Shah, Alkesh Shah, Ketul Thakar, Hitesh Pandit, Atmay, and ArshTalati were present.
