Why Donating on Janmashtami Truly Matters

Janmashtami is the special day when Lord Krishna appeared in this world. He is not just our God. He
is our Father, our closest Friend, and our greatest well-wisher. Everything we have in our life is a gift
from Him. Our family, our home, our happiness, and even the breath we take.

This sacred day is the perfect time to offer our love and gratitude towards Him.

When some one we love has a birthday, we do many things. We bring gifts. We decorate the house.
We try to make their day very special. But what about the birthday of the One who gave us all we
have? The One who loves us the most?

Krishna’s abode is made of spiritual gems and filled with divine beauty. He is lovingly served by
hundreds and thousands of Lakshmis. Krishna has everything. He needs nothing from us. But we
need to express our gratitude.

Many of us are blessed with lives that others only dream of. A safe home, a loving family, food to
eat, even vehicles to travel. All this is Krishna’s mercy. Isn’t it our duty to give something back to the
One who has given us everything?

And if we haven’t planned anything for Him yet… Now is the time to pause and reflect with love and
gratitude.

Let us not just celebrate Janmashtami with lights and sweets. Let’s celebrate it by giving — from the
heart.

Simple Ways You Can Offer This Janmashtami

Support Temple Decoration
A beautifully decorated temple brings people closer to Krishna. Even those who don’t visit often may
feel inspired to come. Your help can make the temple shine with devotion and joy.
Every visitor touched by the beauty of the temple receives Krishna’s mercy.

Sponsor for 1008 bhoga
On Janmashtami, 1008 special dishes are offered to Krishna. This is no ordinary offering. It is a royal
feast for the Supreme Lord. Prasadam from this offering reaches thousands of people. It spreads
Krishna’s love and blessings to everyone who receives it.

To be part of this seva is a rare opportunity. It purifies your heart and pleases the Lord.

Sponsor Maha Abhishekam, Dresses and jewelleries for Sri Sri Radha Damodar
Krishna loves to be bathed in fragrant water. He enjoys new clothes and ornaments on His birthday.
Your seva can help make His celebration grand and joyful.
You can help decorate the Lord with beautifully and receive His eternal mercy.

Support Sadhu Seva or Sponsor Vastras for Devotees
Sadhus and devotees show us the path back to Krishna. They live simple lives and serve the society
selflessly. Therefore they are very dear to Him. When we serve them with love, Krishna becomes
pleased. Offering clothes or essentials to them is a beautiful way to express gratitude. It is also one
of the easiest ways to serve Krishna. And to receive His special blessings.

Even a small seva brings unlimited mercy and brings you closer to Krishna. He remembers every
offering even after this life is over.

So this Janmashtami (16th August), don’t miss this rare opportunity: serve with love, give with
gratitude, and offer with your whole heart.
And Krishna will fill your life with more than you can imagine.
