Guye's today is Janamashtmi, a great day for all people. Today the Curest and Love'st Krishan Bhagvaan was born so Happy Janamashtmi To All.



People Celebrate it in Different Part's of the world.



JANMASHTAMI FALLS TODAY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013 ========================================================
Krishna Took Birth At Midnight On The Ashtami Or The 8th Day Of The
Krishnapaksha Or Dark Fortnight In The Hindu Month Of Shravan
(August-September). This Auspicious Day Is Called Janmashtami. Indian
As Well As Western Scholars Have Now Accepted The Period Between
3200 And 3100 BC As The Period In Which Lord Krishna Lived On Earth. Read About The Story Of His Birth. The Devotees Of Lord Krishna Observe Fast For The Whole Day And
Night, Worshipping Him And Keeping Vigil Through The Night While
Listening To His Tales And Exploits, Recite Hymns From The Gita, Sing
Devotional Songs, And Chant The Mantra Om Namo Bhagavate
Vasudevaya. Krishna's Birthplace Mathura And Vrindavan Celebrate This Occasion
With Great Pomp And Show. Raslilas Or Religious Plays Are Performed
To Recreate Incidents From The Life Of Krishna. Song And Dance Mark The Celebration Of This Festive Occasion All Over
Northern India. At Midnight, The Statue Of Infant Krishna Is Bathed And Placed In A Cradle, Which Is Rocked, Amidst The Blowing Of Conch
Shells And The Ringing Of Bells. In The South Western State Of Maharashtra, People Enact The God's
Childhood Attempts To Steal Butter And Curd From Earthen Pots
Beyond His Reach. A Similar Pot Is Suspended High Above The Ground
And Groups Of Young People Form Humans Pyramids To Try And Reach
The Pot And Break It. The Town Of Dwarka In Gujarat, Krishna's Own Land, Comes Alive With
Major Celebrations As Hordes Of Visitors Flock To The Town.

SRI KRISHNA JAYANTI OR SRI KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI IS CELEBRATED ON
TWO DIFFERENT DAYS IN YEAR. According To Traditional Hindu Astrology, Lord Krishna Was Born
When The Moon Entered The House Of Vrishabha (Taurus) At The Rohini
Nakshatram (Star) On The Eight Day (Ashtami) Of The Second Fortnight
Of The Month Of Sravana (This Corresponds To The Month Of
Bhadrapada Krishnapaksha In North India). All These Conditions Have
To Match To Celebrate Sri Krishna Jayanti But Most Of The Time These Conditions Never Match In The Calendars Of Various Hindu Sects. So The Different Sections In Hinduism Have Adopted Their Own Standards For Celebrating The Birthday Of Lord Krishna. For Some Sect,
It Is The Ashtami Day That Is Important. For Some Sect, It Is The Star
Rohini. To Make It More Complex There Is The Lunar And Solar
Calendar Issue. The Two Different Dates Is Because Importance Is Given To Tithi "
Krishna Paksha Ashtami Tithi In Certain Regions. Like In Maharashtra,
Bengal And By Some Communities In Karnataka And Andhra Pradesh. In North India, The Date That Has Krishna Paksha Ashtami And Moon
Sign Vrishabha (Taurus) Is Given Importance. In Kerala And Tamil Nadu, The Date That Has Krishna Paksha Ashtami
And Rohini Nakshatram Is Given Importance But This Date Has To Be In
Tamil Aavani Month And Malayalam Chingam Month.
Celebrating Sri Krishna Jayanti On Two Different Days Is More Common
In South India. In North India, To A Greater Extent There Is Uniformity. Most People In India Celebrate Krishna Janmashtami Based On Lunar
Calendar But Few Temples And Some Regions In South India Observe
Krishna Janmashtami Based On Solar Calendar. In Most Years These
Dates Dont Differ By One Or Two Days But In Some Years Janmashtami
Date Based On Lunar Calendar And Janmashtami Date Based On Solar
Calendar Might Differ Up To One Month. In Kerala, Tamil Nadu And In Some Parts Of Karnataka, Krishna
Janmashtami Is Popularly Known As Ashtami Rohini And Is Observed
Based On Solar Calendar. Two Famous Temples, Udupi Sri Krishna Temple In Karnataka And Guruvayur Guruvayurappa Temple In Kerala Celebrate Krishna
Janmashtami As Ashtami Rohini Based On Solar Calendar.

Haapy Janamashtmi to all

Nice post Lakshay.

II> Jai Shri Krishna <II
h a p p y J a n m a s h t a m i !


"I am the conscience in the heart of all creatures
I am their beginning, their being, their end
I am the mind of the senses,
I am the radiant sun among lights
I am the song in sacred lore,
I am the king of deities
I am the priest of great seers'"

Lord Krishna describes God in the Holy Gita. To most Hindus he is the God himself, the Supreme Being or the Purna Purushotam.



The Most Powerful Incarnation of Vishnu

The great exponent of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna, is one of the most powerful incarnations of Vishnu, the Godhead of the Hindu Trinity of deities. Among all of Vishnu Avtars, Krishna is the most popular; and perhaps of all Hindu gods - the one closest to the heart of the masses. Krishna was dark and extremely handsome - thus justifying the meaning of the word Krishna itself, 'black', along with the connotation of black and it's connection fo mysteriousness. His actions and birth in itself were mystified, his words having the same impact on one and all; a charming personality.



The Importance of Being Krishna

For generations, Krishna has been an enigma to some, but God to millions, who go ecstatic upon merely hearing his name. Krishna is considered their leader, their hero, protector, philosopher, teacher and a friend - all mixed into one.Krishna has influenced the Indian thought, life and culture in myriad ways. He has influenced not only its religion and philosophy, but also into its mysticism and literature, painting and sculpture, dance and music, along with all the aspects of Indian folklore.


The Time of the Lord

Indian, as well as Western scholars, have now accepted that the period between 3200 and 3100 BC was the period in which Lord Krishna lived on earth. Krishna took birth at midnight on the ashtami or the 8th day of the Krishnapaksha [dark fortnight in the Hindu month of Shravan (August-September)]. The birthday of Krishna is called Janmashtami - a special occasion for Hindus that is celebrated around the world. The birth of Krishna is in itself a transcendental phenomenon that generates awe among the Hindus and overwhelms one and all with its supra mundane happenings.







On this day, let us all get together and celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna - the notorious God of all.

Devotees fast, visit temples, celebrate with events such as Dahi Handi, great each other, and above all - rejoice the Lord's birth all over again.

Dear friends,
A Very Happy Janmashtmi to all of you and May your Life prosper with Peace and Happiness for Time to Come.
