Celebrating Shri Krishna Janmashtami
Is your publication covering the most important day of the year for millions around the world and the US?
The Indian population in the US has recorded a phenomenal growth of 105.87 percent in the past decade, the highest among all Asian origin groups. Compared to 815,447 or 0.3 percent of the total US population in 1990, there are now two million - over 0.6 percent - Asian Indians in the US.
And on September 4, along with some 930 million others worldwide, they will celebrate Janmashtami, the birth of Krishna, who is described in India’s Sanskrit scriptures as God in personal form. One of the biggest religious festivals in the world, it’s also celebrated by many Americans.
Krishna.com prides itself on being among the first to celebrate this 5,000 year-old festival online. After a successful Janmashtami celebration last year, with 10,000 unique visitors on the holy day itself, our second annual celebration will also herald the launch of an improved Krishna.com.
