Yes, that's what we too have learned from the Gita - That do your duty without expecting for the result. Our deeds will decide our fate and destiny.

@aninditasen I like that philosophy! Many Christians seem to emphasize faith over deeds. But there ARE passages in the new testament that talk about the importance of deeds.

@TheHorse This shows that they have not read the Bible properly.

@jaiho2009 That's lovely. Where do you get the flowers from? In India on the day of Janmastami youngsters climb on each other's shoulders to reach a mud pot of curd(called dahi handi in India) and break it.

We have nothing to enjoy. We only fast say our prayers and break our fast at dinner time.

@LadyDuck Celebrations are in the temples that people visit during Janmastami, but this time it has been prohibited by the government due to the pandemic.

@aninditasen I'm sorry to hear that. You said 'celebrating Janmastami' so I thought perhaps there was some celebration associated with it. I'm sorry I got it wrong.

Thank you. On this day prayers to Lord Krishna helps you to overcome all difficulties in life. Hence many devotees enact his birth. This is done with great devotion in Vrindavan.

Yes lot of devotees do that but I have been asked by my doctor to take an earlier dinner and therefore do not wait for so long.
