Krishna Janmashtami

  

 

Krishna Janmashtami is one of the most important Hindu festivals celebrated to mark the birth of Krishna, an incarnation of God Vishnu.

 

The largest celebration of Janmashtami takes place in Mathura and Vrindavan where Krishna was born. Since Lord Krishna was born at midnight, devotees observe a fast and sing devotional songs for him during the midnight hour.

 After that, statues of baby Krishna are washed and placed for worship. Post midnight devotees break their fast and share food and sweets.

 History of Janmashtami

Mathura was being ruled by the evil King Kansa, who had a sister called Princess Devaki. Devaki was married to Vasudeva with a lot of fanfare, however, there was a prophecy according to which their eighth son would cause his downfall of Kansha.

When informed about this, Kansa at once imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva. He got their first six children killed, the seventh child, called Balram, was mystically transferred from Devaki’s womb to that of princess Rohini, who stayed in Vrindavan. After their eighth child was born, Vasudeva managed to rescue child Krishna and took him to Vrindavan, where he gave him to Nand and Yashoda.

Vasudeva then came back to Mathura with a girl child to give to Kansa, so that he wouldn’t kill her. However, Kansa still tried to kill the baby by throwing her on a huge rock.

However, as he tried to do this, she transformed into Goddess Durga, warning him about his death.

Wishing you all a Happy KRISHNA Janmashtami

Impact of the comment as a teacher." By Sunny Singh BHS

 "Article :-   Impact of the comment as a teacher." By Sunny Singh BHS As a teacher, providing constructive feedback is not just a task; it's a commitment to fostering growth and learning in our students. Recently, a comment I made sparked contemplation on the impact of our words in the educational journey. In the realm of education, comments serve as more than just annotations on assignments. They are powerful tools that can inspire, guide, and shape a student's perspective. My recent comment, upon reflection, encapsulates the essence of my teaching philosophy - to encourage critical thinking and resilience. While comments can sometimes be viewed as mere assessments of performance, my intent has always been to create a dialogue. Each comment is a conversation starter, an invitation for students to delve deeper into their understanding, question assumptions, and refine their skills. Teaching is not just about imparting knowledge; it's about instilling a sense of c...
