While I appreciate the sentiments, I wish our leaders would also focus more on implementing Krishna's teachings in governance - especially about standing up for what's right without attachment to results.

As someone new to India, I'm fascinated by how beautifully Janmashtami is celebrated here. The Dahi Handi events are so energetic! Can anyone recommend good places in Mumbai to experience the festivities?

Krishna's message in Bhagavad Gita about doing one's duty without expectation is something every Indian youth should learn. Our education system should include more such value-based teachings.

The President's message is good but I hope we remember Krishna was also about breaking unjust social norms. Let's not just celebrate but also reflect on how we can build a more equal society.
