ITANAGAR, Aug 29: The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) has conveyed good wishes to the people of the State on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami. He expressed hope that the pious occasion will inspire right conduct amongst all in achieving our goals in life.
In his festival message, the Governor said that Janmashtami marks the sacred day when Yogiraj Lord Shri Krishna, the 8th incarnation (avatar) of the Lord Vishnu, was born to Devaki and Vasudev for the deliverance of the people of Mathura from the tyranny of the ruling King Kansa. Consequently this festival ranks as one of the most important occasions for all to celebrate the human effort to eliminate injustice and repression. Janmashtami is the celebration of the life and teachings of Lord Krishna. It has the eternal message, of “doing one’s duty without any fixation for the result”, for each and every one of us. 
The holy occasion of Janmashtami reminds us of Lord’s divine discourse enshrined in ‘Bhagavad Gita’, where the value of sacrifice for righteousness is praised, he said. On this divine occasion, I also take the opportunity of appealing to my beloved people of Arunachal Pradesh to strictly comply with the COVID-19 protocol and COVID appropriate behaviour to remain safe from the Pandemic, the Governor appealed.
May the occasion of Janmashtami inspire one and all to imbibe Lord Krishna’s message of love, compassion and pluralism, the Governor wished in his message.
