Janmashtami is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Krishna, one of the most powerful and famous reincarnations of Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu calendar, this festival is celebrated on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksh or the 8th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadon. This day indicated the beginning of hope in the older times; hope, that the malicious rule of Kansa would soon end.
To seek the blessings of Lord Krishna, Janmashtami was celebrated at St. Xavier's High School on 6th Sept, 2023 with mirth and joy. The fragrance of flowers, soothing aroma of camphor and the jingle of bells filled the air. While this religious importance is not lost, this day signifies a lot more to modern India, it signifies excitement, euphoria and a joyous spirit of enthrallment. To celebrate the extraordinary bond between children and the Almighty, the school took the opportunity to both jubilate and learn with the young minds. The students dressed up as lord Krishna and Radha, complete with flutes, peacock feathers and matkas. The celebration that followed was truly entertaining and educating.
The life history of Lord Krishna was very beautifully depicted by colourful Jhankis. The main attraction of the event was breaking of the treasure filled Matki..... The Principal of the school, Dr. N. Santhosh Kumar blessed all the students on this auspicious day and gave them the message as always, looking ahead instead of reminiscing in the past.
