2017 is the year witnessed as beautiful festive fusion of our country’s Independence essence with holy fragrance of Janamstami all over India. 15th August, 1947 which is one of the most memorable day for all the Indians around the globe, as on this date our country got independent. We owe the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters for giving us free and country of joy and festival cherishing for coming millennium years.
Janmashtami, is an annual festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, eighth avatar of Vishnu. It is particularly celebrated in Mathura and Brindavan along with the rest of the world.India is always linked to its cultural and religious heritage and these are root for our principles which make us proud as an independent country. Janmashtmi at the day of independence reflect the message that as Lord Krishna in Dwapar Yuga came to save the world from Demonic dominance, in the same way great warriors of Indian Impedance sacrifices their life to up birth the free and prosperous India.
This year we got the opportunity to celebrate both the auspicious day together. So Yuva Goonj members took this opportunity and celebrated it with the kids of Paathshala. The event started at around 5pm and the kids were very much excited about this event. Firstly, we gave them information on why this day is celebrated and mentioned some of the names of our freedom fighters. Then, we organized some activities for the kids, like singing National Anthem, making them draw the National flag, singing patriotic songs and some dance performance. During these activities we found out the hidden talents of these kids, like most of them were really great painters and artists. After all these activities, we distributed stationaries and eatables which we had arranged for them.
Last to conclude but cherish to forever ,we would like to say that, seeing the smile on their faces truly made our day special and it encourage us do more for the innocent kids in coming days This made us realize even with the smallest of efforts we can bring happiness in others life.
