Mother Earth trembled and shivered,
as the demons tormented and shattered
the lives of many innocent…
Then was the arrival of the Divine, memorable.

The day was Bhadrapada, Ashtami, as the Divine willed
An infant was born in the midst of conditions, unthinkable.
Yet full of splendor, a beaming smile and bluish-hued
The Lord arrived as the Saviour of all, unforgettable.

All jivas danced in bliss by His mere touch or glance,
His lilas, all sages sang day and night endlessly,
The demons got frightened by His mere presence,
Let us rejoice and celebrate His arrival splendidly.

Wishing all AMMA’s children a very happy Sree Krishna Janmastami.
