17th August

Completed morning program. It being a closed day, spent the day reading magazines and newspapers. Janmashtami observed today. Venita organized Puja at home. Some sweets were prepared and offered to Krishna on his birthday. One view says that Krishna was born on 18th July 3228 BCE according to Gregorian calender.  There are other views which fix His date of birth much before 5000 BCE. However there is unanimity on time of His birth,that is,midnight. Venita joined the celebration in the Society temple also.
Albert Einstein : "Life is all about being of service. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable receiving.”
Retired to sleep at about midnight.
