How is Janmashtami celebrated
The festival holds several events to pay homage to the Lord. In Maharashtra, Janmashtami is known as Dahi Handi, in which participants named "Govind" build a human pyramid and compete to break a buttermilk-filled earthen pot (handi), which is hung at a difficult height goes. During childhood, Krishna was fond of butter, and competition is organized to commemorate him as he was called "Makhanchor" (butter thief) in childhood.
Why is Janmashtami celebrated
Janmashtami is celebrated because Shri Krishna was born in the prison of Mathura. He was the 8th child of mother Devaki and father Vasudev. According to the description of Srimad Bhagwat, Bhojvanshi king Ugrasena ruled in Mathura in Dwaparyuga. Many Indian texts state that all the hundred sons of Gandhari die in the mythological Kurukshetra war (war of Mahabharata). The night before Duryodhana's death, Krishna sent his condolences to Gandhari.
Janmashtami, the Hindu festival celebrates the birth (Janma) of Lord Krishna on the eighth (Ashtami) day of the dark fortnight of the month of Bhadrapada (August - September). There is an eighth form of Krishna in the story. Another significance is that she is the eighth child of her mother Devaki.
How was Krishna born?
When Lord Krishna was born, it was raining heavily and the Yamuna river was in spate. Her mother and father feared her death. The darkness was also terrible because there was no electricity at that time.
Osho Rajneesh says that Krishna is born on a dark night and that too in bondage, in jail. Everyone is born like this. Freedom from the darkness of mind and prison should be the goal of life. The seed bursts and thrives in darkness.
Shri Krishna made the state of his birth the most different in the world. Don't you know that every person's birth situation is different, but those who are great people have a difficult birth situation?
When Krishna was born, all the children in the prison slept in deep sleep by Maya. The prison doors opened automatically. It was raining heavily at that time. There was a boom in the Yamuna. It was in that rain that Vasudeva put little Krishna in a knot and he came out of the prison with it.
At some distance, there was a river Yamuna. They had to go further than that, but how? Then the miracle happened. The water of Yamuna touched the feet of the Lord and then its water split into two parts and from this cross became the path to that cross. It is said that Vasudeva took Krishna across the Yamuna to his friend Nandagop in Gokul. Nanda's wife Yashoda was also born a girl there. Vasudev took Shri Krishna to Yashoda and took the girl. Gokul's mother was Yashoda's maternal uncle and his in-laws in Nandgaon. Yashoda and Nanda brought up Shri Krishna.
There are many children in the world who were raised by their mother and not by their mother. Like Yogamaya, there are many girls in the world who sacrificed themselves for a noble cause and then supported a brother like Krishna throughout his life.
When Kansa discovers that Vasudev and Devaki have fraudulently sent their son elsewhere, he immediately sends his followers in all four directions, saying that all the children born at such and such times were killed. Go
Prima facie, Kansa's followers learn that the child has been abandoned across the Yamuna. A demon named Pootana is sent to kill the child, but Sri Krishna kills Pootana with his Maya at some distance from Nandababa's house. After this, the terror of Kansa started increasing in Nandgaon, then Nandababa fled from there.
After the birth of Krishna, there were many incidents of killing him, but he survived the most. Whoever comes to kill them dies. Should say that death returns after losing. A person who has a desire to live and who is not afraid of death can make life beautiful.
It is said that six planets were high at the time of the birth of Shri Krishna. His horoscope had Taurus in the ascendant which had a lunar planet. In the fourth house, Leo was the zodiac sign in which the sun was sitting. Mercury was sitting in Virgo in the fifth house. Saturn and Venus were in the sixth house of Libra. In the ninth place, Bhagya was Capricorn in which Mars was sitting in a high position. In the 11th house, the guru of Pisces was sitting high.
However, many scholars also distinguish the position of planets in their horoscope. Some were in ascending according to Ketu and some in the sixth house.
There are many distinctions about the birth chart of Shri Krishna, but this mathematical position is still universally pure. We find much evidence of this. The third chapter of Dasam Skandha in the Explanatory Prakasika Tika has been described by Srimad Bhagwat on the basis of the book Granth Gangasahay.
