Krishna Janmashtami
Donation Based Event | 100% Proceeds donated to Anak Unik Children's Foundation, Ubud.
Namaste all,
Join us for this Donation Based Event where 100% Proceeds donated to Anak Unik Children's Foundation, Ubud.
Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birthday of Krishna, and marks the start of the Festival season in India!
It is a time to reflect on the multi-faceted personality of Krishna as an invitation to each of us to live more fully in our own daily lives.
We come together in Ubud to celebrate this beautiful occasion with an open, community event paying homage to 3 aspects of life:
- The timeless Wisdom of the Bhagwad Gita, including the world-renowned wisdom on Karma Yoga - liberation while performing our responsibilities in the world.
- Myths & Stories of Krishna that show us the various roles we all play in life - from the innocence of childhood, to the deep longing of love, to fulfilling our purpose in the world and finally to mentoring the future generation
- Kirtan Singing to celebrate the Bhakti or devotional aspect in each of us. We sing together in the time-honoured traditions of call and response, coming together as one voice - expressing our longing for the intangible we feel through our heart!
Hosted by Awaken co-founders Manish Pole and Rana Abihayla at Sayuri Healing Foods Cafe in Ubud:
The evening is an Open Community event, everyone is welcome.
And 100% of all donations that you choose to make will be given to support the Anak Unik Children's Foundation, Ubud.
