Saturday, September 22nd 2012 we celebrated the appearance day of Srimati Radharani. She is the greatest devotee of Lord Krishna as the ultimate personification of His "hladini-shakti" - His divine pleasure energy. It is celebrated by special songs of praise, and a sumptuous feast is offered to Her. It is the tradition at ISKCON Montreal to also offer her kitchen articles, since she is considered to be in charge of the temple's kitchen. She received nice gifts this year.

Held in a grandiose manner all over India for many centuries, Janmastami has by now become known all over the world as the greatest of all Indian celebrations (along with Diwali).
