Krishna - A child, a brother, a charioteer, a warrior, a disciple, a Guru, a messenger, a Cowherd, and the beloved of Gopis. The lord of so many roles throughout his life, the lord whose birth story is as fascinating as his stories of child hood and stories of his role in Mahabharat. We celebrated birthday of this very versatile lord on August 26th of this month.
The program started with chanting 24 names of Lord Krishna in Sanskrit Shloka form. Mrs Pushpa Joshi did perform puja and talked about the birthday of Bal Krishna and explained typical rituals of celebrating Janmashtami back in India. Lord Krishna was fond of Ghee and Dahi and hence how the practice of Dahi Handi act came into as a tradition. It is believed that this Dahi Handi tradition is believed to throw away all negativity and bad omen and bring the happiness and prosperity. Many devotees keep a fast on this day too.

ISW First Hiking Trip.............................................Anjali Arora
The fourth annual ISW camping trip to Camp Resolute, a Boy scout Reservation in Bolton, MA was a great success. It was great to see many first time campers. It was nice to see several families with small children and grandparents. Activities included Archery, Riffle Shooting, Canoeing, Kayaking and field sports. Playing Antakshari around the campfire while the kids had fun making Smores in the campfire added a cerian uniqueness to the trip. There was of course lots of India food and desserts.
