Indian Idol 10 contestant Nitin Kumar says, "It was a delightful and divine experience to seek blessings from Krishna Ji before Janmashtami. All of us were excited to sing in the glorious ISKCON (Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Mandir). We don't know for how long we were singing. We simply didn't want to stop. Devotees who came there were also happy with our singing and joined us in the celebrations."
