    Speech- Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Janmashtami or
    Gokulashtami, is a major Hindu festival in India and celebrates
    the birth of Lord Krishna, which happened to be the eighth
    incarnation or avatar of Lord Vishnu, the supreme God of the
    Hindus. The eighth day of the Bhadrapada month or Ashtami as
    per Hindu lunar calendar marks Janmashtami, and will be
    celebrated on August 26th this year.
    It is believed that Krishna was born in a dungeon of
    Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, on this day at the clock struck midnight.
    Krishna is the god of love, tenderness and compassion. Hindu
    mythology portrays him as a prankster, a gentle lover, a universal
    supreme being and child-like God.
    The narrative and stories of Lord Krishna’s life are referred
    to as Krishna Leela.

    The traditional scenes of Kanha’s birth

    Now here we will observe the Krishna Leela.


    Narrator- Krishna was born in the Yadava clan of Mathura to
    Queen Devaki and her husband, King Vasudeva.
    Devaki had a brother, Kansa, a tyrant, who along with some other
    demon kings was terrorising Mother Earth.
    Kansa agreed to let Devaki get married to Yadava prince.Kansa
    was told by fortune tellers that one of the off springs of Devaki
    would bring his end. In his paranoia, Kansa brandished his sword
    and decided to kill Devaki right there and then. But after
    Vasudeva begged for his wife’s life and promised to hand each
    child to Kansa as soon as it was born, Kansa let go of his sister,
    and instead imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva, and made sure
    that none of Devaki’s children survived. As soon as a child was
    born to Devaki, Kansa would smash the child’s head against the
    walls of the prison.)
    On the night of Krishna’s birth, as soon as Krishna was born, a
    bright light filled the prison.
    Vasudeva was woken up by a divine voice.
    It guided him to take Krishna across the Yamuna and leave him
    with his dear friend Nandraja, the head of the Gopa tribe.
    (Crossing the river scene) Music.

    Nandraja and his wife Yashoda had also given birth to a baby girl
    that night, so Vasudeva secretly carried baby Krishna across the
    Yamuna river, which was no longer in its calm state, but instead
    was raging as if it were the ocean. Just then Lord Vishnu’s Shesh
    Naag, the giant multi-headed snake came and helped Vasudeva
    carry Krishna safely across the river.
    Vasudeva went to Nandraja’s house and exchanged the babies.
    His heart was filled with a deep sadness, as if he had left a part of
    his soul behind.
    (Swing scenes)
    [ Days later, news of Nandraja and Yashoda’s son’s birth reached
    the kingdom, people were gushing about the unique twinkle in
    the child’s eyes, about how he was always happy and how his
    mere presence spread joy and cheer all around. Krishna grew up
    unaware of his destiny, far away from all the chaos of Mathura, in
    Gokul, with Nanda Baba and his wife Yashoda, as his foster
    parents.
