Kartik Punima is very famous to all the devotees because it is known as Raash Punima, the day when Krishna celebrated Raas with gopis. Devotees feel love for their lord and celebrate it in various ways. This year we went to a Satyanarayana puja in our neighborhood on Kartik purnima. It was a pious occasion to feel devotion towards God. After puja, we had prasaad there. In the evening we worshipped Shri Satyanarayana and Radha Krishna. We listened to some devotional songs like 'Rumujhum Rumujhum nupur baaje' ( written by Kazi Nazrul Islam and sang by Anup Jalota), 'Kanha re thoda sa pyar de' ( from Ramanand Sagar's 'Shri Krishna' tv serial) and some more such songs. Later when we went out in our balcony, we saw the full moon in the sky, which was looking very bright. In West Bengal, Raas Purnima is celebrated with great pomp and grandeur in Shantipur and Nabadwip. These days, we are watching many videos of raas puja mandaps and pratima from Nabadwip and Shant...
Every year as the festival of Janmastami comes, our hearts get filled with joy. Devotees get the chance to celebrate the birthday of their favourite deity Shri Krishna. This year also we celebrated Janmastami in our house. After we completed the puja in our house, we went to a keertan sabha in our neighborhood. After that we went to a function where kids performed songs and dances on Shri Krishna. In this way we felt blessed to spend the whole day through various activities remembering Shri Krishna. With lots of best wishes Jai Shri Krishna.
