Devotees gathered at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandirs to celebrate Janmashtami, the Hindu festival commemorating the birth of Shri Krishna. The joyous festival signifying the presence of dharma was celebrated by the greater community across BAPS mandirs in Asia Pacific, through festivities such as devotional bhajans, skits, and inspiring speeches glorifying the life of Shri Krishna.
Learned BAPS sadhus continue to travel across the Asia Pacific region during the auspicious month of Shravan to conduct many such parayans and celebrate Hindu festivals in the spirit of devotion.
