President Pranab Mukherjee in his message on the eve of Janmashtami has said, "On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, I extend hearty greetings and good wishes to all my fellow citizens.
Let us on this day imbibe the teachings of Lord Krishna which proclaim the triumph of virtue and righteousness over intolerance and narrowness of mind.
On this day, may all of us reaffirm our commitment to pursue the path of duty without concern for reward and re-dedicate ourselves to the progress and prosperity of our diverse and multi-cultural nation".
