“Whatever happened, happened for the good. Whatever is happening, is happening for the good. Whatever will happen, will also happen for the good.” Bhagavad Gita

No Indian festivals are complete with Bollywood songs. Whether its Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day, Ganesh Festivals, Eid, New Year, Diwali and of course the popular Krishna Janmashtami.

Krishna Bhajan, Meera and Radha Songs and Govinda songs have enriched our movies and our festival.

Here is a collection of special songs for Janmashtami. These songs are written by some of the best lyricists of Hindi cinema. They are Pandit Narendra Sharma, Anand Baxi, Sahir Ludhianvi, Ravindra Jain, Javed Akhtar, Rajendra Krishan and Indeevar to name a few.
