SrI:
 
Dear KrishNa PrEmis around the world :
 
Yesterday was Sri VaikhAnasa KrishNa Jayanti/JanmAshtamai. Today is Munitraya KrishNa Jayanthi and tomorrow is Sri PaancharAtra or Koil Sri Jayanti . This extended celebrations according to different sampradhAyams gives us the opportunity to celebrate the avatAram and LeelAs of
Sri KrishNa without worrying about the complex issues related to the tithi nirNayam 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)
