Janmashtami Celebration
A very pleasant morning to all! I, Vanshika Joshi, am honored to be your host for today's
auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, the celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna. This festival
holds a very special place in our hearts as it signifies the victory of good over evil and the
importance of dharma.
As we gather here today to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, let us remember his teachings of
love, unity, and compassion. Lord Krishna, also known as Kanha, is not just a deity but a friend,
philosopher, and guide who continues to inspire millions of devotees around the world.
On this joyous occasion, let us immerse ourselves in the festivities and rejoice in the spirit of
Janmashtami. May we all find inner peace, happiness, and prosperity by following the path
shown by Lord Krishna.
As we witness the enchanting performances and decorations put up by our talented students,
let us not forget the essence of this festival – to endeavor for truth and integrity in our lives. Let
us all come together as a community and spread love and harmony just like Lord Krishna did.
Aarti:
As we gather here today to celebrate the divine festival of Janmashtami and offer our prayers to
Lord Krishna, it gives me immense pleasure to welcome our talented choir group who will be
leading us in the melodious recital of Shree Krishna Aarti.
The Aarti ceremony is a sacred and soul-stirring ritual where we express our recognition and
devotion to Lord Krishna through music and hymns. And what better way to elevate our spirits
than with the enchanting voices of our choir group!
With their harmonious melodies and heartfelt dedication, our choir group is here to guide us on
a spiritual journey as we offer our prayers to Lord Krishna. Their voices will resonate through the
lands of our school, filling our hearts with joy and devotion.
So, without any further uproar, let us welcome our esteemed choir group with a big round of
applause as they grace the stage to lead us in the soulful rendition of Shree Krishna Aarti. Let us
all join our hands in prayer and immerse ourselves in the divine atmosphere created by their
musical performance.
(after aarti) On the behalf of our school and everyone present here, I extend my sincerest
appreciation and gratitude to our choir group for gracing us with their music and for infusing
our celebration with warmth, joy and spirituality.
Bhajan:
Coming up next is another performance of our choir group led by Kashyap Sir and Jugal Sir
along with their hard-working students to present the traditional bhajan dedicated to Lord
Krishna known as the beloved “Nagar Nandji na Laal” which also holds a special place in the
hearts of numerous devotees as it glorifies the playful and enchanting nature of Kanha. So, let
us all join our hands together in welcoming our choir group as they grace the stage to present
this mesmerizing bhajan.
(after bhajan) For this melodic performance, I express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to
our choir group for sharing their gifts of music and devotion with us.
Lezim Dance & Matki Fod:
It’s finally the time for the most exciting part of our celebration! So, let us put our hands
together and wholeheartedly welcome our matki fod group and the lezim dance girls!

hard work with a big round of applause!
Garba:
It’s now time to end our celebration of the day by enjoying raas garba with our fellow mates
and beloved teachers.
I thank you for giving your attention to all those who have strived to present us with these
beautiful performances. Janmashtami is not just about celebrating a historical event; it's about
indulging the values and lessons Lord Krishna taught us. So, let's remember the teachings
of Lord Krishna – his wisdom, love for humanity, and the path of morality. Thank you all once again for
joining us in this wonderful celebration. Wishing you all a blessed and joyous Janmashtami.
