Hope you all had a wonderful and joyous Shree Krishna Jayanthi/Janmasthami. The festival was on a Sunday, so we had time on Saturday to do all the shopping and Monday to rest since it is Labor Day here and a holiday.
It was tough setting up the Pooja upstairs, so we decided we will do it in the Pooja room downstairs. It was tough even with that since by mid afternoon my ankle had completely swollen. I was to be honest really really depressed and kept wondering why this tough challenge, still unable to sit down, or even do activities I used to perform so easily just a few months back. So most frying was done by my Husband.
My Daughter joined us through FaceTime during the pooje at night and was there until the end when we gave Argya to Lord Krishna. I just love technology, we can meet, share, see and perform ePooja remotely. And today morning as I do every year, I was able to show my parents all the pooje which we had done. My dad as soon as he saw said ” So beautiful, looks like the pooje has been done in a temple.”. I had tears of joy hearing this from my Dad.
My own blog helped in getting all the links for songs, food items and recipes.
Food prepration like you see were items such as:
-
- Moong dal Kosambari
- Channa dal Kosambari
- Uppittu or Upma
- Avalakki
- Sweet Avalakki
- Thengolu
- Om Pudi
- Shankar Poli
- Rava Laddoo
Last year it was yellow rose flowers and this year we brought Red roses. And as always, I tied a Tulasi Garland for our Putta Krishna.
Now for the next big festival Shree Gowri Ganesha Festival. Will post all links and recipes as we approach the festival.
May Lord Krishna Bless us all. Jai Shree Krishna!

You’re one great soul. With all the physical issues, still you are so devoted towards Guru Raaya and Sri Krishna that you had so much energy to prepare all this naivedya to Him. There’s lot to be learnt from you Meera Akka. I’m just 6 months post partum and I just did naivedya of butter, fruits and Panchamruta (lazy or its in mind that I can’t prepare so much)

Thanks so much. Krishna asks just for that Rakhi. Doesn’t need anything at all, just a Tulasi, fruits and butter is what he needs.

Jyothi, thanks for your encouraging texts. It has been tough really really tough getting back to normal. I am many times even upset on God. Never in my wildest dreams had I dreamt about this, and it is taking a toll on me. Thanks again for all the wishes.

Yes, I too feel like seeing a temple. The red roses and Tulasi combination is so beautiful.
Thanks Meera for all the divine pictures of Lord Krishna.
Please take care of your health.
