Hindus are known to have numerous gods. On the top is the supreme trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Then there are very popular, much adored and widely worshipped gods such Ganesh, Hanuman, Durga etc. However, the human manifestation of Lord Vishnu in different yugas or ages in the form of Ram and Krishna are part of our culture, ethos, personality- whatever you may call it! Their stories as enshrined in Ramayana and Bhagvad form the very basis of our existence and the way we conduct ourselves in our daily lives.
While maryada purushottam Ram’s life is highlighted by his victory over Ravana and celebrated as Dussehra and Diwali, birth and childhood are important highlights of Krishna’s life, making Janmashtami a very special occasion.
Ram and Krishna are human manifestation of supreme lord and mere chanting their name wields the power of uplifting human consciousness to a divine level. As per Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON movement, mere chanting of Krishna‘s name will ensure deliverance from all the sins! Let’s celebrate this Janmashtami by chanting the simple mantra
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare!

Very well said Sir.
Probably due to same reason my parents had a habit of greeting people in family as well as in known circle by saying “Jai Shri Krishna” upon meeting, rather than saying hi / hello, and same habit I have also developed over a period of time while interacting with elders in family circle upon meeting in person or on calls. It’s become like the first thing while meeting and last thing while departing, and I feel such habits are a real blessing indeed.
