Today , in Udupi we celebrate Krishna Ashtami . Today God Krishna's 5242nd birthday .
When Krishna was born , it was raining heavily in Mathura . Today also , it is raining since morning . But devotees don't care for this rain . We continue our celebration.
In Udupi , ashtami is incomplete without " hulivesha " . Today also , people changed themselves as tigers ( huli) and have started performing .
I like the music they play when they are performing the act . It is a symbol of ashtami . When Krishna was born , everyone including wild animals like tigers had visited the God .
To remember that occasion , people play hulivesha on Krishna's birthday .
Today , mothers dress their children as Krishna . In Vrindavan , Yashoda had looked after Krishna and she had witnessed the " leela " (action ) of God in his childhood .
It is a dream of every mother to have Krishna as her child . That's why mothers dress their children as Krishna.
There is a competition between these children who were dressed as Krishna . It is called " muddu krishna " competition .
I watch all these programmes on TV .
