Honoring the Birth of Lord KrishnaJoin us for a joyful and devotional evening as we celebrate Janmashtami, the birth of Sri Krishna, the divine incarnation of love, joy, and wisdom. On this sacred occasion, the Lynnwood Ananda Community will be transformed into the birthplace of Krishna, evoking the spirit and sweetness of Vrindavan.
In the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, Krishna is seen as a fully realized avatar, or divine incarnation, who descended to awaken humanity from spiritual ignorance. Yogananda taught that Krishna, like Christ, came not merely to perform miracles, but to show the way to Self-realization—to help souls transcend maya (delusion) and realize their unity with God.
✨ Experience the Spirit of Janmashtami ✨
🎶 Live Kirtan and Devotional Music
📖 Storytelling of Krishna’s Life and Deeper Teachings

🍛 Delicious Homemade Indian Dinner – Enjoy lovingly prepared traditional vegetarian food and drinks.

When Krishna was about to be born, the devas—celestial beings and deities—gathered to welcome him with reverence and joy. Come, great souls! Let us come together in that same spirit to honor and celebrate this sacred day.
