According to the Hindu religious calendar, September 07, 2004 is Janmashtami or Krsna (Krishna) Jayanthi. Outlook India has an article that dates the birth of Lord Krishna to July 21, 3228 BC. Funnily, this is only 7 days away from my own birthday. It is not all that much of a coincidence, I know, but it still gives me a stronger feeling of spirituality and connection.
Quote from the article: Krishna was born in the Rohini nakshatra, in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada, on the 8th day of the waning moon at midnight. Working backward from Krishna’s date of death drawn from the Shrimad Bhagwat, the Vishnu Puranas and the Mahabharata, July 21, 3228 BC satisfies all conditions of Krishna’s birth.
I’ve always contended that I’m not much of a religious person, but I’ve also maintained that it’s only because I’ve not had the time (or not given myself the time) to explore religion. But I have, in the last few years, learnt a lot more about various world religions. I guess the time is opportune to explore my own religious feelings a little more.

SINNER!
YOU’RE GOING TO HELL IF YOU DON’T!
Interesting: Hindu’s use a lunar-calender?
Yes, a lunar calender is used. Certain festivals like Diwali and Dushera don’t fall on the same date every year, instead are determined by the lunar calender. All very confusing.
I’m being sarcastic, Dharini. I’m an atheist.
Although, how does a relegion operate when there’s nothing to accuse anyone of? If there is no persecution or judgement, what is the purpose of it? I suppose I’m asking: If I can worship the GOD, or not, why bother?
The Hindu religion, when you start to read about it you will discover, does not have any concept of sin, especially the sin of not having understood what we casually refer to as GOD!
It believes that one will do it when completely ready for it–however long that takes.
BTW, this is not in anyway a response to Josh’s comment.
