Natkhat Krishna.


Few days ago, I was shopping things like erasers, pencils, chocolates, sketch pens etc. My son was very curious to know why I was shopping all these stuff.

Suvvir: “Mamma, why are you shopping all these stuffs of koi bag, it’s not my birthday?”

Mamma: “It’s Lord Krishna Birthday, remember every year in our society we celebrate Janmashtmi, where mamma puts all these goodies in a pot. We come together and pray to Lord Krishna to appear in our heart and remove all the bad qualities and make us happy and joyful.”

Suvvir: “yup, Mamma tell me something more about Lord Krishna, it’s so interesting”

I felt first time my son was asking me far more sensible questions than his technologies and mechanic set toys. Being an adult, it’s important that we should not sweep such topics under the carpet. It’s important that children understand the significance and celebrate every festival in the right mood and spirit. I explained him the whole story like:
Lord Krishna was born in the month of Shravan, at midnight, in the jail. When he was born, he appeared as four handed Vishnu and then upon Mother Devaki’s request he assumed the form of a cute little baby with two hands. The uniqueness of Krishna’s birth is that not only did he choose his time and place of birth, but also choose his parents. His birth is not ordinary, rather extra ordinary and very special. Little Krishna was a small, naughty, charming child. Lord Krishna was also known as “Makhanchor” as he used to eat makhan by stealing from others as well from his own house. To get makhan he used to break earthen pots and form pyramid to get butter/curd/milk to reach those pots along with his friends. This is the reason we also get to see dahi handi competition during Janamashtami.
After seeing his curiosity I wanted to show Suvvir a play where he can visually see the life of Lord Krishna and understand much better. That was when I came across a Children’s Play named “Natkhat Krishna” by Kids Connect Entertainment. A play in English that will appeal to kids of all ages with its high energy action and soft playful moments. I decided to take Suvvir for this play and trust me this was the best decision I took for my son.

A play which enacted the life of Krishna, right from childhood. The sets were designed so beautifully that it brought alive Krishna's Vrindavan. The lights, colour and sound all added to the beauty without interrupting the drama.There were no religious verses or chants but instead the makers had used everyday language to share messages of friendship, good vs. evil, and good values.
 When I compared Krishna’s story in our daily lives, I realised each small kid is Krishna. Each Mother is blessed to have a Krishna. We being a mother like yashoda maiya loves our child unconditionally, avoiding all their mistakes. They really love to grab our attention by doing all silly things and get pampered just like Krishna. They don’t know the meaning of mine and yours and hence feel that there is no difference in eating or taking things from others, just like Krishna, who said “Makhan is makhan. How it can be yours or mine.” I’m indeed blessed to have Krishna in my life who is naughty, cute and a loving baby. My family and I enjoyed watching Natkhat Krishna and recommend it to every family as a must watch to kick start the festive season. Kidz Connect leaves you with good memories of Krishna and I guarantee you and your kids will not just be humming the music for weeks but also discuss various points of the play.
