JANMASHTAMI OR GOKULASHTAMI marks the celebration of the birth of LORD SRI KRISHNA, who is considered as the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna was born to King Vasudev and Mata Devki in the prison of Kansa on a dark, stormy and windy night, when moon entered the house of Vrishabha in the 'ROHINI' nakshatra.
KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI is observed on the ashtami or the 8th day of the Krishna paksha or dark fortnight in the Tamil month of Avani on the Rohini Nakshatra and this year it falls on Aug 21st - Aug 22nd IST. This sacred festival fills everyone with the devotion of LORD SRI KRISHNA.
SRI KRISHNA INCARNATES IN EVERY YUGA
"Yada Yada is Dharamasya Glanirbhavati Bharata"
"Abhyutthanamadharmasya Tadatmanam Srijammyham"
" Paritrayanaya Vinashayam Cha Dushtkritam"
"Dharamsanthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge"Lord Krishna, through this famous saying of BHAGVAD GITA, says that whenever any harm to religion will happen, He will take birth or incarnate on this earth plane and establish religion by destroying the profane activities.
Bhagavatam, which carries the life history of Lord Krishna, describes Krishna's miracles to save the world and his devotees. One day a poor person brought Lord Krishna a dried grape as an offering to Him and as soon as He put it in his mouth, the very same time, the poor man's hut became a mansion surrounded by trees and a beautiful lake. This is the power of Lord Krishna.
