EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Musical Skits & Dance Ballets on Shri Krishna Leelas, complemented by Spiritual Discourses
A defining feature of the DJJS Shri Krishna Janmashtami Mahotsav is its presentation of scripturally authenticated and meticulously scripted Shri Krishna Leelas, brought alive through music, choreography and dramatic expression by devout disciples.
The performances portrayed the subtle emotions experienced by devotees in the Divine Leelas- Love, Devotion, Courage, Reverence and Surrender- while the accompanying spiritual discourses decoded the deeper wisdom embedded within these timeless narratives.
This year’s presentations included Govardhan Leela, Makhan Chori Leela, Braj Ki Holi, Shiv Tandava and several other captivating performances.
Drawing from the life of Shri Krishna and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, the discourses explored the enduring spiritual truth that the Divine presence and consciousness represented by Shri Krishna is not confined to the Dwapar Era. Through the path of Brahm Gyan, the Eternal Krishna Consciousness can be realised within even today, under the guidance of a Perfect Spiritual Master of the times.
