Introduction

Importance of Krishna Janmashtami

Krishna Janmashtami is the most important festival of Hinduism. This festival, celebrated on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month, is a celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna. On this day, Nandlal was born from the womb of Devaki Mata in the prison of Mathura.

Story of Shri Krishna:

• Long ago, in the ancient city of Mathura, a ruthless king named Kansa ruled with fear and cruelty.
• According to the legend, Devaki—Krishna’s mother—was told that her eighth child would be the cause of the evil king Kansa’s death.
• So Kansa put Devaki and Vasudev in prison. When Sri Krishna was born at midnight, a series of miracles followed—the locked doors of the prison opened by themselves, the guards fell asleep, and Vasudeva, carrying the newborn in a basket, crossed the Yamuna to Nanda Baba’s home in Gokul.
• There, he was greeted with love and devotion, as if the earth itself smiled at his arrival.
