Happy Birthday Krishna or Janmashatami Krishna 2021

 

Today I am writing about the birthday of God Krishna, it is called Janmashtami because 'Janam' of Krishna happened on 'Ashtami' tithi of Hindu Calendar. The birth anniversary of Lord Krishna, this festival is celebrated on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha of the month of Bhadrapad (August - September), according to Hindu calendar. You people will be aware about the place of the birth of Krishna, that is Mathura. God Krishna is most popular and the most powerful incarnation of God Vishnu, who is said to have been born to free the Earth from all evil. His ready wit, his cunning and at times even his manipulation is lesson of learning for people. His discourse with Arjuna, the third Pandava, just before the war of Mahabharat gave the Hindus one of their most sacred texts, the Bhagwat Gita. Most of the people claim to be well-informed with Krishna and his tales. But there are so much more facts about Krishna they aren't aware of. Krishna in his newborn form is worshipped on Janmashtami. The idol of baby Krishna (Thakur ji) is placed in a swing decorated with flowers and soft pillows with richly decorated cushions.

                                

Peacock feathers are an important part of Shri Krishna's makeup. There is a story that says that once, lord Krishna decided to play the flute in the forest, peacocks were enamoured and began to dance on his melodious music. The peacocks danced till they grew tired, the king of peacock asked him to accept his feathers (most prized possession for them) as grateful lord Krishna accepted his humble offerings and puts a peacock feather in his hair. That is why Sri Krishna is also called by the name of Mormukutdhari.

The entire universe longed for Krishna, but he longed for Radha. Birthday of Radha is celebrated as Radha Ashtami across the country, with full devotion and joy. Radhashtami is mainly takes place after 15 days of Janmashtami. Radha was born at Barsana village and she was elder in age to Krishna. Vrishbhanu Gopa and Kirti Devi were parents of Goddess Radha.  She is considered as the incarnation of Goddess Laxmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. Even today when people visit Braj Bhoomi or birth place of Lord Krishna, the chants of Radhe Radhe resonate in their ears. 

                                

Goloka or Goloka Vrindavan is the eternal supreme abode of the Hindu God Krishna and his consort Radha.  Krishna was not married to Radha. but Krishna is always altogether with only Radha till date in each temple. Krishna is inseparable from Radha. Krishna always said to Radha, Marriage happens between two people. Krishna and Radha are one entity, How can we get married. Radhaji was separated from Krishna temporarily in leela by Sridama's curse. The quarrel between Sridama and Radha is the main reason behind this curse and they had to be away from each other for 100 years. Radha and shri krishna had their last meeting in Dwarka. Radha asked him to play flute and she gave up her body while listening to the flute. Lord Krishna could not bear Radha's death and broke his flute as a symbol ending of love and threw it into the Bush.

Krishna had 16108 wives out of which eight were his principal wives.  The rest of 16100 wives were rescued by Krishna from Narakasura. Their number is mentioned as 16000 or 16100 in different scriptures. When Krishna slew Narakasura, who were forcibly kept in his palace. He accepted all the women upon their insistence to safeguard their dignity, they all lived in Dwarka with him.

Dwarka derives its name from Dwar (door in Sanskrit). In fact, Dwarka is the ancient kingdom of Krishna and is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat. Besides eight principal queens, the Hindu God Krishna, the king of Dwarka, is described to have many unnamed junior wives.

                                    

God Krishna is depicted with a flute on his lips, standing with one leg crossed over the other at the ankles. Lord Krishna dressed in yellow cloth, is compassionate, all-knowing and the embodiment of Dharma or righteousness. Lord Krishna is 8th avatar of God Vishnu. One of the most admired gods of all Indian divinities. The Kurukshetra were left all 100's of Gandhari's children dead. The grieving mother cursed Krishna along with the yadu dynasty both would fall in 36 years. Mistaking the sleeping Krishna for a deer, a hunter named Jara shoots an arrow on his foot that fatally injures him. Krishna forgives Jara and dies.The tales of God Krishna recited even to children. This Hindu deity is revered by millions all over the world. Lord Krishna, an admirer of all beautiful girls, who was well known for stealing the heart of gopis with his flute. Let's get united and celebrate the birthday of a divine lover or God of love with a lot of smiles. 

Happy Janamashtami to all.
