Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata
Abhythanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham
Paritranaya sadhunang vinashay cha dushkritam
Dharmasangsthapanarthay sambhabami yuge yuge
•Bhagavad Gita Ch 4. Verne 9-8
Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata,
And there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth ;
For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers,
For the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age.
(Translation: Whenever virtue subsides and wickedness prevaris. I manifest
Myself. To establish virtue, to destroy evil, to save the good I come from Yuga (age] to Yuga)
Devotees all over the world celebrate this festival to express their desire to serve the Lord and to glorify Him.
Sri Krishna signifies Amanda (divine bliss). The celebration of Sri Krishna Jayanti is considered the celebration of the manifestation of divine bliss.
