Janmashtami 2020: TV stars speak up about their favourite songs and teachings of Lord Krishna

‘Govinda’ to ‘Gopala’, ‘Murlimanohar’, ‘Kunj Bihari’, and ‘Manmohan’, Lord Krishna has so many names. And Bollywood has always shown special love to God by making different songs on him. This year Janmashtami will be celebrated two days – August 11 and 12. Celebs like Vijayendra Kumeria, Vikas Seth, Jasmin Bhasin and other TV celebs have shared their favourite Lord Krishna songs and teachings.

Vijayendra Kumeria

Talking about the teaching of Lord Krishna, Vijayendra said, “For me, karm kiye ja phal ki chinta na kar is an all-time favourite and yet relevant as the only thing in your hand is the process and not the fruit. Lord Krishna was ahead of his times. He is alive in Geeta. His teachings are forever relevant.” His favourite song is ‘Woh Kisna hai’ from the movie ‘Kisna: The Warrior Poet’. He said, “I like this song because it describes the characteristics of Lord Krishna in a simple yet beautiful way. The song is very soothing to the ears and it also describes the eternal and pure relationship between Krishna and Radha.”

Jasmin Bhasin

For one who has conquered his mind, his mind is his best friend. But for the one who has failed to do so, his mind is his greatest enemy. I meditate regularly. Lord Krishna’s words of wisdom are contemporary and people of all generations can relate with them. Krishna was the first one to teach us the value of Karm and Karma. What goes around comes around is a reality.

There are three gates to the self-destructive hell: lust, anger and greed. This still holds true in modern times. Lord Krishna has left his inner richness in our hearts and minds. I feel very peaceful when I think of Lord Krishna.

Shashank Vyas

A man is made by his belief, as he believes so he will become. If we have positive thoughts, we will become positive. Lord Krishna teachings are practical and Geeta saar and Karma theory is a reality. It is a coincidence my mother name is Geeta and people often call me kanhaiya. Lord Krishna was a perfect balance of mind and heart.

Vikas Seth

There are two ways of passing from this world – one in light and one in darkness. When one passes in light, he does not come back; but when one passes in darkness, he returns. I have seen struggle but have also learnt that this too shall pass and I believe in the power of good intention always. Talking about his favourite song, he said, “My favorite song is ‘Achyutam Keshavam’. I resonate with it because for the believer God always exists.”

Aniruddh Dave

If you perform the sacrifice of doing your duty, you do not have to do anything else. Devoted to duty, man attains perfection. Lord Krishna knew what he spoke, thought and practised. We as human beings can surely practically follow and do what he taught. Lord Krishna teachings have depth.

Angad Hasija

Each and every teaching of Lord Krishna holds true even today. What I like the most is karmanya vadhikaraste ma faleshu kadaachana, which means that we have a right to perform our prescribed duty but we are not entitled to the fruits of actions. So, we should keep doing our Karma. In the entertainment industry, we say the show must go on. We must work and constantly and results will always be good eventually. His favourite song is ‘Go Go Govinda’.

Meera Deosthale

My nanaji named me after his biggest devotee Meera. I love Janmashtami. I used to be fascinated with Lord Krishna’s childhood stories and how he defeated evil. I love all songs and bhajans on Krishna ji, but from the movies, I like ‘Yashomati maiya se bole nand lala’.
