The birthday of Lord Krishna is celebrated with great fervor and zeal in India in August or September. As per Hindu Calendar, this festival is celebrated on the 8th day of the dark fortnight which is called as Ashtami of Krishna Paksh. Lord Krishna is believed to be the most powerful soul and incarnations of the Lord Vishnu. His birth took place in <strong>Mathura <\/strong>before 5,200 years.

It is celebrated each year on the eighth day of the Bhadrapada month. The Supreme Lord appeared in <strong>Mathura <\/strong>in a dungeon to Queen <strong>Devaki <\/strong>and King Vasudeva, Krishna Janmashtami in Mathura Vrindavan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story goes that Devaki\u2019s brother; the tyrant <strong>Kansa<\/strong>, was told by a voice in the sky that one of her children would kill him. Kansa decided to kill Devaki so that she does not give rise to any children, but Vasudeva, her husband begged Kamsa to forgive <strong>Devki <\/strong>and promised that he will give any of her child to Kamsa, so then Kamsa on this assurance from Vasudev, let Devki go. He imprisoned both Queen Devaki and King Vasudeva. Kansa made sure that none of her children survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the night of Lord Krishna\u2019s appearance, <strong>Vasudeva <\/strong>was asked by the Lord Himself, to take Him as the baby to his friend Nandraja in Gokul. Nandraja\u2019s wife as we know was Yashoda. Vasudeva was having a hard time to take the baby as Lord Krishna across the raging river <strong>Yamuna<\/strong>, Krishna Janmashtami in Mathura Vrindavan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is when Lord Vishnu\u2019s Shesh Naag arrived and helped <strong>Vasudeva <\/strong>to carry the child across the river safely. Vasudeva then exchanged Lord Krishna for a baby girl that Nandraja and Yashoda had that very night and headed back to the prison with the girl child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the cruel <strong>Kansa <\/strong>came to kill the baby girl, a divine miracle happened. The baby transformed into Goddess Durga who then warned Kansa about his impending doom. This is the story of the Supreme Lord, Krishna\u2019s advent in this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.rajasthantourplanner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Krishna-Janmashtami-Vrindav.jpg\" alt=\"Krishna Janmashtami in Mathura Vrindavan\" class=\"wp-image-9099 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajasthantourplanner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Krishna-Janmashtami-Vrindav.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.rajasthantourplanner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Krishna-Janmashtami-Vrindav-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rajasthantourplanner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Krishna-Janmashtami-Vrindav-768x288.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/300;\" \/><figcaption>Krishna Janmashtami in Mathura Vrindavan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do We Celebrate Janmashtami?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Janmashtami <\/strong>is a grand celebration to commemorate the appearance of Lord Krishna, who is believed to be the Supreme Lord or the Lord of the Lords. It is the celebration of joy, love, and divinity. The story of Krishna\u2019s appearance reminds us through <strong>Kansa<\/strong>\u2019s actions that ego and pride are the major faults in human beings which can only doom them Krishna Janmashtami in Mathura Vrindavan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is because of our ego that we end up doing things that are not Godly. But with humility and love, we can defeat ego. The image of baby Krishna is the image of unbridled love. Lord Krishna\u2019s appearance is a symbol of the mind\u2019s prosperity, and it is this, that we celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is Janmashtami Celebrated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the day of <strong>Janmashtami<\/strong>, the temple hall is decorated with beautiful and fragrant flowers, and thronged by devotees who are eager to have <strong>Darshan <\/strong>of the Lord and serve Him. There are varieties of flowers used for the beautification of the temples, and the festival starts from the early morning. One of the main rituals on this day is the ceremonial bathing of the deities Krishna Janmashtami in Mathura Vrindavan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the deities of Radha Krishna, and even <strong>Balaram <\/strong>get the ceremonial bathing, and then there is Mangal Aarti and more. Prasadam is distributed among devotees, and as mentioned earlier there are activities going on throughout the day with melodious Kirtan and chanting of the Holy name practically the entire day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At midnight, the Lordships are offered an <strong>Aarti <\/strong>yet again, and hundreds of men and women watch with teary eyes, full of love and devotion for the Supreme Lord. The festivities go on until the next day as well.
