Hindus of Greater Houston was founded in 1989 with a unique concept to bring together the entire community at one place and celebrate the most popular festival, the birth of Lord Krishna. The festival is to showcase the rich traditions and culture and bring out the core tenets of the Hindu faith that reinforces love towards all living beings. Over the years Hindus of Greater Houston collectively organized community volunteer driven events throughout the year. We celebrate our youth who are the future leaders of the community and appreciate their dedication to carry the Hindu values forward and make this world a better place for all. We unite all Hindu organizations and periodically arrange meeting of all Hindu community leaders.

When someone has a birthday, we try to please the person whose birthday we are celebrating. Maybe we may buy them some presents or bake them a cake. We try to do something for them that will make them happy.
Likewise, on this very wonderful day celebrating Lord Sri Krishna’s appearance, we should consider what we can do that would be most pleasing to Him. The Supreme Lord is the owner and controller of everything. There is nothing that He is lacking. He doesn’t need anything from us. But there is one thing that He wants from us. Our love. This is the one thing we have to offer that makes Krishna very happy.
But our love can only be offered as an expression of free will. Love can’t be taken or forced. That’s not the nature of love.
5000 years ago, Krishna appeared on this planet in His original form. He came for many reasons. He came so we could come to know of the absolute reality of His existence. He came to display His wonderful pastimes and loving exchanges with His devotees. He came to speak the Bhagavad-gita, which is His personal and direct instructions to each of us.
And as we hear about Sri Krishna, and His wonderful pastimes, and become more attracted to Him, something wonderful happens. The love that we begin to experience for the Supreme Lord attracts Him to us. And He begins to reveal Himself to us more and more. This is the ultimate truth that Sri Krishna reveals to us in the Bhagavad-gita.
So today on Janmashtami, and every day, let us be prayerful of how we can use our lives to be pleasing to God and grow our love for Him. This is Sri Krishna’s birthday wish. If this is our heart’s desire, then our love for God will forever grow. Krishna will be more and more pleased, and we will experience true happiness and peace.
Best wishes and aloha to you all.
Jaya Sri Krishna”
