Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs celebrate Krishina Janmashtami at dargah

August 26, 2016

Jaipur, Aug 26: Even as communalism takes its toll on the country, Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs celebrated the birthday of Sri Krishna at the dargah of Sharif Hazrat Hajib Shakarbar in a little village in Jhunjhunu district on Janmashtami, cementing the syncretic and peaceful culture that existed between communities stretching back to centuries.krish

The dargah at Narhad village near Chirwa town of Jhunjhunu has been celebrating this joyful occasion for over 300 years by organizing musical dramas, 'qawalis' and skits on this day.

The celebrations hark back to a period of the country when poets such as Maulana Hasrat Mohani, Nazir Akbarabadi penned various poems on Sri Krishna.

The 'bhajan' made famous by various singers, including Hariharan, 'Kya kya kahoon main kanhiya ka balpan...' (`What I can say about Krishna's childhood...'), was penned by Akbarabadi.

Thousands of Hindus come with flowers, coconuts and sweets to be offered at the shrine. The festivities, which continue for three days, conclude on Janmashtami.

Usman Ali Pathan, the secretary of the dargah, said, "The 400 shops in the vicinity of the dargah organizes skits, dance dramas and qawalis to mark the birth of Lord Krishna. From what my ancestors told me, the tradition was begun by Sufi saints to promote Hindu-Muslim brotherhood."

People from many states, including Maharashtra, Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, visit the dargah during the festival. "Thousands of Hindus come here on Janmasthami and offer flowers, 'chadar,' coconuts and sweets at the shrine," he said.

God says there is no God but him alone. He also says in QURAN that those who associate partners with him will not enter Paradise which is eternal (No death there). An intelligent person will not take it as simple msg, He will check if it is really God speaking or any man made thing...

So this intelligent person will research and study the Quran, also previous scriptures (original bible & torah and there are some elements in Vedas) to know WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIFE?

When our intention is HONEST to look for the TRUTH, GOD who put soul in us and CREATED us will surely show us the Signs of HIM and those who got his guidance are really BLESSED...

If some Muslims wants to hide the non muslims of the TRUTH of associating partners with him ... it is HE is hiding the TRUTH with U non muslims of severe punishment for associating partners with him...

God is JUST he created us and we worship man made things ... isnt it right that people recognise this TRUE GOD and WORSHIP him alone.

Quran explain in Surah 114:
Say He is ALLAH, the one and only,
ALLAH , the eternal absolute,
He begetheth not Nor is he begotten
And there is NONE like unto HIM

VEDAS also says \NA TASYA PrATIMA ASTI - There is no image of God.

Krishna is just like human (So TRUE MUSLIMS cannot except him as GOD) . There will be some illiterate in the knowledge of God in Muslim community as well... It is either bcos of his weak faith or other reasons. God knows best what is their FATE...

But for ME ... I cannot deny GOD and join the party of associating partners with HIM ... O ALLAH save me from SHIRK and Save me from the HELL fire which is eternal (No death there too)"

Ideal worship is Haraam & Shirk. we believe there is only one creator and we cant see him. otherwise i could have joined and enjoyed these kind of get together along with my non Muslims Brothers. But being Muslim our first faith itself is One God and for him no partner and no family. But my family and me Love our Non Muslim Brothers and Sisters so much as our own family members.

Communal peace and harmony not by celebrating Krishna Jayanthi or Mohammed Jayanthi... It is completely prohibited in Islam even Prophet's (PBUH) birthday celebration.

We can bring communal harmony in the society by helping one another, understanding one another feeding poor people in all community.. Brotherly life in the society... Celebrating these kind of Jayanthi just for name sake..it is not acceptable at all..

New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court of India today granted bail to 17 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 Gujarat massacre case, pending their appeal before the Supreme Court.

The convicts also have to participate in social and spiritual services, said the court, announcing the riders for bail.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices BR Gavai and Surya Kant directed for the convicts to be segregated into two groups to be sent to Indore and Jabalpur.

District legal authorities in Indore and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh have been asked to ensure that the convicts do the spiritual and social work the court has asked for.

The Supreme Court has also asked the administration to find them work for livelihood. The state legal services authority has been asked to file a compliance report as also report on their conduct.

The case concerns the mass killing of 33 innocent Muslims - mostly women and children - who were burnt alive at Sardarpura village in March 2002.

This was part of the mass massacre that swept through Gujarat in the aftermath of the death of train passengers on Sabarmati Express in Godhra on Feb 27, 2002. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and raped in the three-day violence. The victims include hundreds of children including newborns.

In 2016, the Gujarat High Court had upheld the conviction of 17 accused in the Sardarpura massacre case.

Earlier, a Special SIT court had convicted a total of 31 persons in the case, after three years of trial against 73 persons from Sardarpura and nearby villages.

For the sake of God please do not call them JUSTICE. If they str aware of meaning of word justice then they would have given death penalty to all the culprits. So sad that supreme court of india is running as per the instructions of MODI govt. RIP Justice
