How I Celebrated Janmashtami in Vrindavan – My Real Experience

I’ve celebrated Janmashtami many times at home, but experiencing it in Vrindavan—the very land where Lord Krishna spent his childhood—was something completely different. Last year, I decided to be in Vrindavan on this sacred day. And honestly, it was one of the most spiritual and emotional experiences of my life.

I reached Vrindavan a day before Janmashtami to avoid the heavy rush. Even from a distance, the vibe of the town was magical. The streets were lit up, colorful flowers hung over lanes, and you could hear “Radhe Radhe” from every corner. People weren’t just preparing for a festival—they were preparing to welcome Krishna himself. You could feel that energy.

Locals, saints, tourists, and Krishna devotees from all over India and even from abroad had started gathering. I checked into a small guest house close to the Banke Bihari temple, and even the owner had a big smile, saying, “You’re lucky to be here during Janmashtami.”

If Janmashtami means something to you, I truly suggest you experience it once in Vrindavan. No photos or videos can explain what it feels like to stand in the temple at midnight, with thousands of people singing Krishna’s name with pure love.
