Managing trustee of Bhaktikala Kshetra H.G.Dr Surdas says “Krishna Janmashtami is a grand festival celebrated all over the country to commemorate the birth of Krishna, who is believed to be the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. We at ISKCON BHAKTI KALA KSHETRA every year organize the festival for hundreds and thousands of devotees across India, however this year the celebration will be virtual. We seek the blessing of Lord Krishna to help us in these tough times.” further adding “Though we will not have a physical celebration, we are happy to reach millions of people through our virtual celebration. Indians and Lord Krishna devotees from all over the world can participate and enjoy the celebration virtually. Just like every year this year also we have a good line of entertainment programs from dance, singing to the flute. We request everyone to participate and join us on our YouTube and Facebook page.” 

Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota says "My Warm greetings on the auspicious occasion of Sri  Krishna Janamashtami Bhakti Kala Kshetra. This year since this Utsav will not be happening at the temple, I extend my humble invitation to all of you to enjoy this festival from home. I will be performing bhajans from home. So let's all come together to pray and worship to Lord Krishna and enjoy the festivity."

Ronu Majumdar says "Hare Krishna. My association with Bhakti Kala Kshetra goes back to the ’80s. I have been very close to the Mandir and Surdas Prabhu and the whole team. I feel a part of Radha Rasbihari Ji and will always continue to do my seva with Shri Lord Krishna’s Ashirwad, and with Bhagti Kala Kshetra’s association with me, I pray that I continue this till the last day of my life." I am happy and looking forward to doing my seva for the Global Virtual Radha Krishna Utsav 2020, I will be presenting my Raag and Bhajans of Baake Bihari. Please be a part of it and enjoy the music."

Hema Malini says "Hare Krishna! On the 12th of August our Radha Ras Bihari Nritya Natika will be presented virtually, I urge all of you to come together and get engrossed into the Krishna Ras and enjoy it to the fullest. Given the present situation, we won't be able to present the Nritya Natika physically in front of you. On the occasion of Janmashtami every year I have been presenting many of the Krishna Leela’s in the form of Dancing, but I am feeling immense pleasure to inform you all that this year Juhu Iskon’s Bhakti Kala Kshetra will be presenting this Radha Krishna Utsav Virtually from 8th of August to 12th of August. Many talented artists will be presenting their artworks at this festival. Janmashtami is a festival that marks the victory of good over evil and my association with Juhu Iskon’s Bhakti Kala Kshetra is from a very long time.
On this auspicious occasion of Janmashtami along with all my Brijwasi brother’s I would like to wish everyone nationally and internationally a very Happy Janmashtami."
