Question: Sumitra Krishna prabhu: (Guru Maharaj: Our Chennai Temple President) Chennai devotees are very happy that you are constantly giving us good association. I was just realizing that Devaki and Vasudeva were locked down by Kamsa for more than eight years. And we have been locked down for four months. So our lockdown compared to Devaki and Vasudeva is nothing. By thinking of that, our suffering are nothing compared to Devaki and Vasudeva.

Guru Maharaj: When Devaki, after Krishna in the wrestling match, He killed Kamsa, Devaki and Vasudeva first were offering their obeisances. Then Krishna sprinkled some lila dust on them. And then they said, oh, my dear son, took Him on the lap! And Vasudeva embraced Balarama and Krishna. So, they were so happy. At that time, He was asked when were You born and when to observe the Krishna Janamastami? Then He said, that I appeared on the dark ashtami of Sravana month and you can observe it that. Everybody was observing it in Mathura. Haribol!
