KRISHNA IN KIDZEE CAMPUS,KIDZEE-Bal Ladakpan, Trimulgherry.

Today is krishnaashtami-the festival marking the advent of the birth of lord.

Also referred as janmashtami, Krishna Ashtami is one of the widely followed festivals of Andhra Pradesh. Celebrated between the month of august and September, Krishna Ashtami marks the appearance of Lord Krishna on earth. The devotees maintain a fast on the night of the festival and sing religious hymns. Janmashtami is a festival celebrated with lot of enthusiasm and joy. It creates a euphoric atmosphere all around. Since Lord Krishna was very fond 

of milk and milk products, so devotees make various dishes of milk to please the Lord.                                                   

At Kidzee, we try to inculcate the culture of our tradition At Kidzee we made a cradle inside the school, where the statue of Lord Krishna was put in this cradle and our little children made it swing back and forth. The process symbolizes the utmost devotion and love of the followers for Shri Krishna. The tradition of dressing the kids of the place with Krishna's apparel and accessories  made the festival celebration very good. 

Dahi Handi or pot breaking  is a popular ceremony, celebrated with lot of enthusiasm and glee. Dahi Handi is an enactment of Lord Krishna's efforts to steal butter from Matka (earthen pot) suspended from the ceiling. Dahi Handi generally takes place on the second day of Janmashtami. An earthen pot containing a mixture of milk, dry fruits, ghee is hung around 20-30 feet high in the air with the help of a rope. Silver coins are hung along with the rope,which are later distributed as prize to the winners. Enthusiastic young men, form a human pyramid by standing one on top of the other, trying to break the pot. Onlookers throw water on the young men in order to prevent them from breaking the pot. 

At Kidzee we celebrating the pot breaking ceremony by putting chocolates in the pot for the children.

Krishna is so adorable and beautiful-I like his cool, rebellious nature (oops ..Did I use ‘cool’ to describe a god?-another modification to suit the age ) But I like the commitment of avatar Rama (inherently, both Krishna and Rama are two forms of Vishnu who took these incarnations at different yugas or times). So, according to me, the perfect male will be the one who is a steady mix of Krishna in outwardly nature and Rama in inwardly thoughts such a mix will not be encompassed by any one.
