My warmest greetings to the Hindu community celebrating the festival of Krishna Janmashtami. Krishna Janmashtami is the celebration of the birth of Lord Shri Krishna, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Krishna is one of the most worshipped and celebrated gods and belongs to the Hindu Trinity. In honouring the birth of Lord Krishna we acknowledge the strength and richness of Hinduism. Our nation is graced by Hindu temples, altars and shrines. They testify to Australias multicultural composition which is at the heart of our national identity and is intrinsic to our history and character. Hinduisms core values of tolerance, peace and unity complement our tenets of a free and equitable society where we can celebrate our cultural heritages and yet be able to be unified and share common purposes and common goals as Australians. We are extremely grateful for events such as this one and for the work of Hindu Australians in strengthening our community. We wish the Hindu community every success celebrating the festival which continues to serve as a distinct feature of our great multiculturalism.
