Ira Trivedi and Madhu Mantena
Ira Trivedi is a yogini and Krishna bhakt. On Janmashtami, Ira took mid-day.com through the rituals she practices on Janmashtami, how she infuses it with her yoga practise and how she became a Krishna bhakt. For Ira, Krishna Janmashtami is no less than a birthday celebration. In place of a midnight cake cutting, she along with her closed ones bring in the festival with kirtan and bhajan at home.
The Well, it actually begins the evening prior to Janmashtami, because we always bring the birthday in. So, the celebration begins the evening prior, continuing, if possible, to midnight. On Janmashtami and even the day prior is filled with a lot of cooking because Bhagwan loves good food. Who doesn`t, right? On birthdays, you want to have delicious food. So, we always prepare a few special items for Krishna that he loves. Makhan, a lot of mithai; all of his favourite foods. A lot of shingar is done on that day. Bhagwan loves shingar. So dressing Bhagwan up, decorating the temple, that`s typically how I celebrate Janmashtami," she shared.
