President Ramchandra Paudel emphasized the importance of Shree Krishna Janmashtami in promoting good deeds, religious tolerance, and goodwill among people. In his message of greetings on the occasion of Shree Krishna Janmashtami today, President Paudel expressed his hope that the festival would inspire Nepalis to cultivate a civilized and well-cultured society rooted in mutual harmony, compassion, and friendliness.
President Paudel highlighted the significance of the festival, celebrated by Hindus worldwide with great devotion. The day marks the birth of Lord Krishna, the pioneer of Bhakti yoga, Gyanyoga, and Karmayoga, who was born to Basudev and Devaki as their eighth child at midnight on Bhadra Shukla Astami during the Vedic Dwapar era.
In addition to Shree Krishna Janmashtami, President Paudel also acknowledged the Gaura festival, which is primarily celebrated in the far western regions of Nepal. He noted that this festival has played a significant role in strengthening cultural and religious harmony in the country.
On this auspicious day, devotees observe fasting and worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. President Paudel expressed his wish that these celebrations would inspire everyone to further enhance harmony within families, society, and the nation. He also extended his best wishes for peace and prosperity to all Nepalis on this occasion.
