Wishing All CHN Members a Joyous Krishna Janmashtami On this sacred day, as we celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, may we all be inspired by His timeless teachings of dharma (righteousness), karma (action), and bhakti (devotion). Just as Lord Krishna guided Arjuna on the path of wisdom and courage in the Bhagavad Gita, let His words inspire us in our journey of service, leadership, and community within CHN. May His divine blessings empower us to stay true to our purpose, act with compassion, and uplift each other in times of need. Wishing you peace, love, and prosperity on this special occasion. Happy Krishna Janmashtami!
