Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birthday of Lord Krishna and is observed on the eighth day of the Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapad month as per traditional calendar followed in North India. The BGIS celebrated Janamashtami on 2nd September.
The whole program was organized by the gurukul students. From the ancient prison like entrance to the most attractive stage with a small water pond, everything was decorated by the team of creative BGIS-ians. The program started with mangla charan by the team of 6 mrdanga players of 4-6 class students then continued by senior mrdanga players who were trained by world famous Bablu prabhu of our school. It was followed by harinaam sankirtan and bhajans led by Durjaya pr who teaches music to school.

Then students started performing different- different pastimes of Lord like Aghasur vadh (Killing of demon Aghasura), Gobardhan Leela (Gobardhan Hill Liffting), Rukmini Escape, Kamsa vadha (Killing of Kamsa) etc. All class students from 1st – 12th performed and participated in the plays. There was Haveli Sangeet performance by one of our school’s brajwasi student, Prathmesh Goswami Maharaj which had taken the heart of all the audience and our guests.

The presence of our honorable guest like H.H. Radharaman Swami, H.H. Prabodanand sarasvati Swami, H.H Gaur Narayan Swami, Deena Bandhu Prabhu, Daivi Shakti Mataji had made the evening memorable. The students of BMS college Agra, were also invited and attended the whole evening with full of enthusiasm. The whole environment become more pleasing when the ex- gurukula students attended the program to boost up the confidence of their juniors.

All the students were very excited to make all the arrangements. Without enough sleep, with observing ithe fasting for Janamastami (Fasting till Mid night) they made all the arrangements which itself very appreciable. There were also prasadam and games stalls organized by the students of 11th Grade.

At sharp 10:30 p.m. we started the abhishekam of lord Radhasyamsunder and Laddu Gopal. After the abhishekam 56 items were offered to Krsna which were cooked by Shukla Mata Ji (One of the faculty member of Gurukul). All the guests were overjoyed after seeing the crackers in the sky at sharp 12:00 midnight (Which is considered as the birth time of Lord Krsna). Everyone had proper prashadam after the program.

As per the old teachers and staff members, they’ve never attended such a wonderful program in the past. Radhakanta Prabhu (Vice Principle) was very pleased with the arrangements made by students. Anand Vrndavan Mataji (ex-director of BGIS) joined the program in between to bless all the students. The whole program was organized by Yogesh Yadav Prabhu, Himanshu Prabhu (IITian), Rahul prabhu, Somil prabhu and Hitesh prabhu. Music programs were organized by Durjaya prabhu and Babalu prabhu. Plays were organized and directed by Sanjay Prabhu (who’s known as the Shakespeare of BGIS) Sursena Prabhu and teachers of Primary grades. Everyone was very pleased and the atmosphere of joy which proved that Krsna himself was very happy with the efforts of His children devotees.
