Bhadra Ashtami - The birth of Krishna
According to the Hindu tradition, we celebrate Lord Krishna’s birthday on the 8th day of the Hindi month Bhadra (September 5th 2015). Such celebration took place at the Bhadury family residency. At midnight, people celebrated with a special ceremony of the Lord, offering food and other pleasant presents to Him. Lord Krishna is the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu and followers of “Shakti” (goddess) also consider Lord Krishna to be the incarnation of goddess Maa Kali.
Lord Krishna was born to free all devotees and disciples from the demon Kansa and it is also mentioned that Lord Krishna was born for Love, to spread teachings of love, peace and doing one’s Karma (action) with determination and without expectations.
In the historical treatise of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the battle of the Maabharata shows Lord Krishna’s devotion to His disciples with a message to follow the truth. In the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, this great war of the Dwapara Yuga shows Lord Krishna’s divinity, power and truthfulness on behalf of His devotees and disciples. Many stories show that He is always fighting for needy or helpless people with kindness and love to all.

On that holy day more than 40,000 ancient manuscripts books on various subjects, including Tantra, Yoga, Astrology, Ayurved, Alchemy and Philosophy, were officially transferred from the Bhadury family to the Bhrigu Yoga Brahma Chinta Pranali Trust, India.
