September 08, 2016:
-
In a huge setback to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
in Delhi, its order appointing 21 lawmakers as
parliamentary secretaries has been set aside by the

The Delhi high court had set aside the Election
Commission’s disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs for holding
office-of-profit. It remanded the matter back to the
Election Commission to first decide the “all important
and seminal issue; what is meant by the expression
‘office of profit held under the government’.” The court
told the poll panel to then “re-examine the factual
matrix to decide whether the petitioners (MLAs) had
incurred disqualification on appointment as
Parliamentary Secretaries, without being influenced by
the earlier order or observations on the said aspect in
this order”.
-
Jul 24, 2018:
Delhi high court referred to a larger bench a

an Election Commission (EC) decision disallowing them to
cross-examine Prashant Patel, the petitioner who had
accused them of holding ‘office-of-profit’ upon their
appointment as parliamentary secretaries by the Arvind
Kejriwal government.

KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI |
|
Date-wise Events |
- August 25, 2016
[It occurs on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the
Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of the month of
Bhadrapada (August-September].
- Aug 15, 2017:
Krishna Janmashtami.
- Sep 03, 2018:
Krishna Janmashtami.
- Aug 24, 2019:
Krishna Janmashtami.
|
Description
 |
- Krishna Janmashtami is an annual commemoration and
celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna.
- Lord Krishna was the eighth avatar of Lord
Vishnu (considered as the Supreme Being in
Vaishnavism and as Purushottama or Supreme Purusha in
ancient sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gita).
- This festive occasion is also known as
Krishnashtami, Saatam Aatham, Gokulashtami, Ashtami Rohini,
Srikrishna Jayanti, Sree Jayanti or sometimes merely as
Janmashtami.
- The special features of this celebration include Rasa
lila, dramatic enactments of the life of Krishna.
- The Rasa lila is a part of the traditional story of
Krishna described in Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavata
Purana and literature such as the Gita Govinda, where he
dances with Radha and her sakhis.
- The term, rasa meaning "aesthetics" and lila meaning
"play" or "dance" is a concept from Hinduism, which roughly
translates broadly as "Dance of Divine Love".
- Dahi Handi is a celebration of God's playful and
mischievous side, where teams of young men form human towers
to reach a high-hanging pot of butter and break it.
- This tradition, also known as uriadi, is a major event
in Tamil Nadu on this day, i.e. Gokulashtami.
- Krishna was the 8th son of Devaki and Vasudeva.
- Mathura (in present day Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh)
was the capital of the Yadavas, to which Krishna's parents
Vasudeva and Devaki belonged.
- King Kansa, Devaki's brother, had ascended the throne by
imprisoning his father, King Ugrasena.
- Afraid of a prophecy that predicted his death at the
hands of Devaki's eighth son, Kansa had the couple locked
into a prison cell, with an intent to kill all their
off-springs.
|
|
Happy Krishna Janmashtami |
- Krishna was born in the darkness of the night, into the
locked confines of a jail. However, at the moment of His
birth, all the guards fell asleep, the chains were broken
and the barred doors gently opened.
- Similarly, as soon as Krishna (Chetna, Awareness) takes
birth in our hearts, all darkness ( Negativity ) fades.
- All chains ( Ego, I, Me, Myself ) are broken.
- And all prison doors we keep ourselves in ( Caste,
Religion, Profession, Relations etc ) are opened.
- And that is the real Message And Essence of Janmashtmi.
- Happy Janmashthami
