Krishna Janmashtami 2024

 Lord Krishna was born in the prison of Mathura, where his parents, Vasudev and Devaki, were suffering from the atrocities of Kansa. Lord Krishna was born at midnight on the Ashtami Tithi, when there was darkness all around. At the time of his birth, Devaki and Vasudev received divine sight, from which they came to know that their son would end all the sufferings of the world.

 On the eve of Krishna Janmashtami, devotees observe fast and stay awake all night. Special prayers are offered in temples and tableaus of Lord Krishna are decorated. On this day, devotees also organize 'Dahi Handi', in which people try to break a pot, which is hung at a height. This game reminds of Krishna's childhood pastimes, when he used to steal butter with the cowherds.

 On the day of Krishna Janmashtami, idols of Lord Krishna are put on swings in temples and homes. Devotees observe fast and celebrate the time of the Lord's birth specially at night. Various religious programs are organized on this occasion, which include kirtans, bhajans and dances. Important events of Krishna's life are staged, which is called 'Rasleela'. This drama depicts the childhood of Lord Krishna and his amazing exploits.

 The festival of Krishna Janmashtami in 2024 holds a special significance. This year special events have been planned in most of the temples. Preparations are also being made to celebrate this festival on a large scale through social media, so that more and more people can praise the glory of Lord Krishna. This will be the first occasion after the Corona epidemic when people will be able to visit temples and participate in mass events without any restrictions.

 The teachings of Shri Krishna have special significance in our lives. The teachings he gave in the Bhagavad Gita are still relevant today. In the Gita, Shri Krishna gave the message of karma, devotion, and knowledge to Arjuna. He taught that we should do our work without worrying about the result. Shri Krishna taught to have a positive attitude towards life and told that self-restraint and self-knowledge are the main pillars of success in life.

 The festival of Krishna Janmashtami teaches us that truth always win. On this festival, we all should unite and follow the ideals of Lord Krishna and spread love, peace, and goodwill in the society.
