On this blessed occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, I extend my warmest greetings to all students, teachers, parents, and members of our beloved Hindu community. May the blessings of Lord Krishna guide us towards wisdom, righteousness, and lasting happiness.

Today, we come together to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, whose life and teachings continue to inspire generations with the eternal values of truth, righteousness, compassion, and devotion.

Lord Krishna’s wisdom, as shared in the Bhagvad Gita, reminds us to fulfill our duties with sincerity, to face challenges with courage, and to remain steadfast in the pursuit of what is right. His message of selfless action is especially relevant in our schools and communities, encouraging us to work with dedication, humility, and a spirit of service.

To our students, may this day inspire you to seek knowledge with curiosity, to respect your elders, and to live with kindness and integrity.

To our teachers, may Lord Krishna’s life remind you of the profound role you play in shaping minds and hearts.

Let us use this occasion to strengthen bonds of unity, peace, and harmony across our multicultural and multifaith nation.

On the same note, as we celebrate this joyous event through prayers and religious discourses we must also reflect on how we can apply Lord Krishna’s timeless values to build a better and more compassionate Fiji.
