In his greetings, the Governor said that Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of God on this earth.

The message of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita of following the path of Dharma, dispelling the darkness and lighting the lamp of wisdom in everyone’s hearts, is universal and relevant for every human being, irrespective of religious affiliation, he stated.
He wished that the blessings of Lord Krishna may always be with the people of the State, and also guide the people and the State towards a more peaceful future.
