Vice President greets the people on Janmashtami

The Vice President, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu has greeted the nation on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami.

Following is the full text of his message –

“I convey my warm greetings and good wishes to the people of our country on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami.

Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, who is worshipped as Lord Vishnu’s eighth incarnation. Lord Krishna’s eternal message, as expounded in the Bhagwad Gita, to discharge our duties with sincerity and without attachment to the outcomes, has been a source of inspiration for all of mankind.

On this auspicious day, let us all resolve to perform our duties with utmost sincerity and to walk the path of righteousness.

While Janmashtami is usually celebrated across the country with great traditional fervour, we need to be cautious this year in light of the pandemic and celebrate the festival in a modest manner, strictly adhering to COVID-appropriate behaviour. May this Janmashtami bring peace, harmony and prosperity in our country.”

Following is the Hindi version of the message –

“जन्माष्टमी के पावन अवसर पर मैं अपने देशवासियों को हार्दिक बधाई और शुभकामनाएं देता हूं।

जन्माष्टमी भगवान कृष्ण, जो भगवान विष्णु के आठवें अवतार के रूप में पूज्य हैं, के जन्म दिवस पर मनाया जाता है। श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता में भगवान कृष्ण द्वारा विस्तार से परिणामों से निस्पृह निष्काम भाव से आस्थापूर्वक कर्म करने का शाश्वत संदेश संपूर्ण मानवता के लिए प्रेरणा रहा है।

इस पावन दिवस पर हम सभी पूरी निष्ठा के साथ अपने कर्त्तव्यों का निर्वहन करने और सच्चाई के मार्ग पर चलने का संकल्प लें।

जन्माष्टमी को प्राय: पूरे देश में पारंपरिक हर्षोल्लास से मनाया जाता है, इस वर्ष वैश्विक महामारी को देखते हुए, हमसे अपेक्षित है कि इस त्यौहार को पारंपरिक श्रद्धा और सादगी से मनाते हुए कोविड संबंधी हर सावधानी का कड़ाई से पालन करें।  जन्माष्टमी का यह पर्व हमारे देश में शांति, सौहार्द और समृद्धि लेकर आए।”
