“Yada yada hi dharmasya, glanir- bhavati Bharata, abhyutthanam- adharmasya, tadatmanam srijjamhaham!”

This profound verse from the Bhagavad Gita encapsulates the essence of Lord Krishna’s teachings, “Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, at that time I manifest myself, says Lord Krishna.”

Janmashtami is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna, one of the most worshipped and revered reincarnations of Lord Vishnu. It marks the victory of good over evil and the establishment of dharma. A special assembly was conducted by the students of New Era Public School, Dwaraka on 23^rd August’24 to celebrate Janmashtami and to immerse in the divine spirit of Lord Krishna’s birth and his timeless wisdom. 

The programme started by extending a warm welcome to the chairperson of the New Era Group of Institutions, Mrs Usha Chopra, and the Director, Mr Rohit Chopra. Celebrations commenced with a beautiful rendition of a divine bhajan by the school choir. Krishna’s life is rplt with instances that impart valuable moral teachings that emphasized the importance of virtues such as selflessness, humility, compassion, and the relevance of karma. To further reiterate this, the students performed a role play, delivering an enlightening conversation between Lord Krishna and Karna, where Karna, seeks answers from Krishna, about his eternal tribulations. This was followed by the recitation of a Hindi poem and a dance performance that embodied the essence of Krishna Bhakti, a perfect blend of grace and emotion. By participating in these activities, the children imbibed the essence of Hinduism, it’s rich culture, traditions and mythology.

The Chairperson Mrs Usha Chopra wished the students on this auspicious occasion and spoke to them about the teachings and wisdom of Lord Krishna in guiding towards the truth, his mischievous childhood and his profound role in the Mahabharata. The Director, Mr Rohit Chopra appreciated the performances,addressed the audience and interacted with the students. The assembly ended on a joyous note conveying the message:

      "Every moment of life is worth a celebration. The more you praise and celebrate life, the more reasons life offers to celebrate."
