kumble_rocks Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Happy Janmashtami to all those who celebrate. I am planning to go to Hare Krishna temple because I heard they do celebrate in a grandeur style.
theguyinallblue Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 sometimes i feel ISKONIANS are more krishna bakht than any ordinary hindu... they are really into it... i came to meet some ISKONIANS..when they came o my college..for performance..and some lectures.. Recently ONAM Passed by..i am surprised sriram or Bheembahi did not open a thread for that... anyway..belated Onam wishes to all here..as well..
Lurker Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 upwaas to kal karna tha...raat barah baje todna tha.... Do you do that whole ritual with cucumber(kheera)? or is it a Bihari thingy? On the night of Janamasthmi ladies would get together in puja-ghar and chant some bhajans. There would a kheera kept on a table with a photo/statue of Krishna next to it. The kheera was supposed to break open at 12 midnight, a sign of arrival of Krishna. I have sat through many a 11:45 pm -12:15 am window hoping to watch it happen. never did :sad_smile::sad_smile: xx
veer Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Happy Janmashtami Everyone.. It use to be sweet eating fest in India.. fun days..
yoda Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Recently ONAM Passed by..i am surprised sriram or Bheembahi did not open a thread for that... Onam is a Kerala festival, which incidentally is a different state from KN or TN. :D
theguyinallblue Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 but its a major festival...for keralites...PM..President congratulate indian people on the ocassion of Onam.

Those Kheera cutting and all are done in my village....villagers celebrate Janmashtami by singing Krishna Bhajans with dhol, kirtaals and they sing in parody of bollywood songs too!! Also Ladies will cut Kheera as a sign that Bal Krishna is born...and the best thing is that they sing some real beautiful folk songs called "Sohar"...normally sung after a child is born....Those Sohars are fun and practical example that how in hinduism we are free to love god in any way we like.........Really things like Sohars etc. missing in large cities like Mumbai.
Guest dada_rocks Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Sohar :hysterical: kafi dinon baad suna ye word..we have khanti rural guy amongst us..:two_thumbs_up:
