True essence of Sri Krishna Janmashtami    

Lord Krishna uttered to Arjuna; (Srimad Bhagvad Gita: 18/66)

    "Sarva dharmaan parityajya maamekam sharanam vraja, 
aham twaam sarvapaapebhyo mokshayishyaami maa shuchaha"  
 

    "O Arjuna! Forsake all your personal beliefs and completely surrender to me. Do not lament for I shall deliver you from all sins to reach the mokshay or ParamPadam". 
     

    Therefore the true spirit of Janmashtami is the Surrenderance - 'Sharnaagati'
