Janmansthmi is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals. It marks the birth of Bhagwan Krishna, who came to Earth to stop evil and bring back goodness.
On Janmashtami, myNachiketa presents 15 impactful Janmashtami quotes for Children. These quotes contain teachings from the Bhagavad Gita about selfless action, happiness and the true nature of a being.
Do your best
1. Quote
Rise yourself through the power of your mind, and not lower yourself, because the mind can be the friend and also the enemy of the self.
Our mind like a friend can help us solve problems and reach our goals, like finishing a challenging puzzle or learning something new. But if we do not make it powerful by reading books and gaining knowledge, it will become weak and may put us in trouble like self-doubt or doing wrong things. So, use your mind like a superhero to be your best self and tackle challenges with a positive attitude!
2. Quote
Treat your work like a special gift for God. Do your tasks happily and offer it to God, without worrying about what you get from them.
Do all your work as a special gift you’re giving to God. For example, if you help a friend with their homework, do it with a smile and without expecting anything in return. Good actions give us greater happiness.
3. Quote
You are what you believe in. You become that which you believe you can become.
When we believe we can do something, like to be an athlete or a musician, we put our maximum effort into it to make it possible. So, believe in yourself and work hard, and you’ll become what you want to be.
4. Quote
You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.
When you prepare for your exams, you have the right to study hard and do your best. But you don’t have control over your exam results. What’s important is that you put in your best effort and learn as much as you can. The focus should be on doing your best.
5. Quote
Self-knowledge calms your mind and brings inner peace.
By gaining the right knowledge we can understand ourselves better and do great things in our lives.

Always be happy
6. Quote
Whatever you have today, was someone else’s yesterday, and it will be someone else’s tomorrow. Be happy with all you have now.
Everything we have now won’t last forever—our toys might break, and our clothes might get old. So, it's important to be happy with what we have today and to share it with others. Enjoy what you have and be kind by sharing it with friends.
7. Quote
Happiness is a state of mind and has nothing to do with the external world.
When we feel happy inside, everything around us seems nicer and more joyful. But if we’re unhappy inside, even the most expensive toys or gifts can’t make us feel better. True happiness comes from how we feel inside, not just from the things we have.
8. Quote
The key to happiness is freedom from wrong desires.
Sometimes, we really want things that aren’t good for us and they can end up making us unhappy. For example, if kids keep asking for expensive phones or gadgets, it might affect their health and schoolwork. To be truly happy, it's important to be careful about what we wish for and focus on things that are good for us.

9. Quote
All happiness in the world has a beginning and an end, but
happiness in Krishna is unlimited, and there is no end.
Happiness that depends on things doesn't last forever. For example, you might feel really happy watching your favourite movie, but once it's over, the happiness goes away too. True happiness comes from something deeper, like feeling blessed and loved, such as in Krishna’s grace, which brings lasting joy.
10. Quote
Being calm, quiet, and disciplined keeps your mind happy.
When our mind is calm, quiet and disciplined we can perform better in our studies and sports. We will easily face challenges and be happier in life.
We are Atman (Soul), more than body
11. Quote
The atma (soul) is beyond destruction. No one can bring an end to the atma which is everlasting.
Imagine you have a special drawing you made on a piece of paper. Even if the paper gets torn or crumpled, the idea and creativity behind the drawing are still there in your mind. In the same way, a body may get hurt but not the atma (soul) as it is superior to the body.
12. Quote
The soul is neither born nor does it die.
Just as our favourite actor plays different roles in his different movies essentially being the same person, the soul takes different forms taking different bodies without ever being born or dying.
13. Quote
The Atma (soul) can’t be broken, burned, soaked, or dried. It’s forever, everywhere, strong, and never changes.
Think about a special magic stone that never changes, no matter what happens to it. You can’t break it, set it on fire, or make it wet. It always stays the same, no matter what. In the same way, the Atma (soul) is like that magic stone—it stays the same and never changes, no matter what happens around it.
14. Quote
The soul can’t be seen or touched, and it never changes. The body changes but the soul stays the same.
Just like we cannot see or touch the air. Its properties always remain the same. The soul can also not be seen or touched. It never changes with the changing body.
15. Quote
The soul is superior to matter; mind, senses & intelligence.
Just like the principal in a school is in charge and oversees everything, including the teachers and students, the soul is like that principal for the body. It guides and controls our mind, senses, and intelligence, helping everything work together smoothly.
