As part Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations we planned to conduct special programs in villages we are already preaching. We called the program “Krishnotsava” because on Ashtami tithi we cannot be present everywhere. As extension of Janmashtami this program was planned which included village sankirtan, books (Grantha) distribution, Go puja, abhishekam and arati of Sri Krishna in the replica form of Udipi Krishna deity, lecture on reasons of lord Krishna’ s appearance and Varnashrama simple living awareness, pledge to serve cows and holy names of Krishna and finally Prasadam distribution.
We conducted this program eight villages so far this is the ninth village Thatlavai village in Telangana jagityal district.
Village is not fully spoiled with modern gadgets. The simplicity of villagers is still preserving some aspects of ideal village.
All villagers grow their own vegetables and everyone have their own wells but they think themselves backward because they don’t use modern agricultural technology and don’t drink mineral water. The whole program went very lively with enthusiastic participation of villagers. This is last “Krishnotsava” program.
Krishnostava took place in 9 villages as listed here: Gundaipalem, kanapur, davanapalli, godserala, sataram, chinnamallareddy, kupriyal, domakonda, and Tathlavai.
