SrI:
Dear KrishNa
PrEmis around the world :
Yesterday was

and tomorrow is Sri PaancharAtra or Koil Sri Jayanti . This extended

for
determining
the exact day for celebrating SrI Jayanti . Let us reflect on the
Srimad Bhaagavata Slokams describing the time at which the ParipoorNa avatAram
of our Lord took place and the appearnace of this divine BrundhAvana
chara Jayanti sambhavan :

--Srimad
BhAgavatam : 10.3.1-4 ,8-10
(Meaning):
" SrI Suka said: Now came the most
auspicious
and favorable time , when the star
RohiNi
was in ascendanance and all the other stars
were
in a beneficient disposition . (1)
Peaceful
silence reigned
in all the quarters .
The
stars shone clear in
the sky. All the villages ,
cowherd
settlements and
mining quarries saw
the
dawn of a prosperous era.(2)
The
rivers flowed with pellucid water , the tanks
were
full of lotus blossoms.The woodlands were
resonant
with the chirping of fluttering birds and
the
buzzing of the bees from the trees and
creepers
heavy-laden with flowers. (3)
Soft
blew the breeze, dust-free and fragrant
and
gently flowed the fires in the sacrificial
hearths
of the holy.(4)
At
such a time , in the pitch darkness of
the
midnight , MahA VishNu , the resident
in
the hearts of all, was born of the divinely
beautiful
Devaki , like the Full Moon rising on
the
eastern horizon .(8)
Lotus-eyed
, four armed , sporting the conch ,
mace
and other weapons; with the luminous
Srivatsa
mark on the chest and the shining
Kaustubha
on the neck; wearing a yellow cloth;
possessed
of the majesty and grace of a heavy
rain
cloud ; with locks gleaming with the lustre
of
the
diadem and the ear-rings studded with
precious
stones; bedecked with splenderous
ornamaments
like bracelets , armlets and waist
girdle
--such was the luminous form
of
THE
UNIQUE CHILD that greeted
VasudevA's
vision " ( 9-10)
