KRISHNA JANMASTAMI CELEBRATIONS: SEPTEMBER 5th
AND 6th
On September 5th, the Brindavan campus
boys put on a drama, ‘Sri Krishna Kuchela’,
depicting the Sakhya Prema Bhava between Sri
Krishna and his childhood friend Kuchela as a curtain
raiser to the Krishna Janmastami celebrations.
Though he is a childhood friend of the Lord of the Universe,
Kuchela finds himself in penury in his adult life. His
wife entreats him to ask Sri Krishna for help. When he
reaches Sri Krishna’s palace, he is welcomed with
high honour by Krishna who even washes Kuchela’s
feet with His own hands. Sri Krishna also partakes with
relish the beaten rice that Kuchela has brought as an
offering. After some blissful days they part and Kuchela
realises that he has forgotten to ask Krishna for help.
When he finally reaches his hut, he is amazed to find
it transformed into a palace and his wife and family living
in comfort due to his childhood friend’s magnanimity.
On the morning of September 6th, Krishna
Janmastami Day, Swami came to Sai Kulwant Hall dressed
in a yellow robe, to the delight of all.
