Krishna Janmashtami 2021 - An auspicious day to worship and attract Luck

Lord Krishna, an epitome of Hindu philosophy and the most revered God across the world is known to curb all obstacles in one’s life leading to ultimate bliss. Lord Krishna is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu- the preserver.

During this incarnation, God not only established religion but also explained the importance of love to the world. The knowledge of Gita given to Arjuna in Kurukshetra is equally relevant in modern times in the compilation “Bhagwad Gita”.

Krishna Janamashtmi is the birthday of Lod Krishna and he gets very pleased with his devotees if he is worshiped with devotion. As per astrology, on the day of Janmashtami, if people worship Him according to their zodiac sign, then it will be of great benefit.

Astrological  significance of Janmashtmi

In scriptures there is a mention of 4 MAHARATRIS i.e. powerful nights for performing saadhna or spiritual practices and they are named as 'Shiv Ratri', 'Holi Ratri', 'Diwali ratri' and 'Janmashtmi ratri'.

 The night of krishna janmashtami is said to support the activation of spells, tantra-mantra sidhis, totkas etc. Due to this reason tantriks, spiritual practitioners, aghoris, spell casters etc wait for this night to come.

General people can also attract the blessings by chanting Hare Krishna Hare Rama the whole of this night. This night is believed to be divine and magical and one can feel the divine blessings spread everywhere.

Janmashthmi Fasting

One should not consume any grain during the fasting on Krishna Janmashtami until the fast is broken on the next day after the sunrise. The rules are somewhat similar to the Ekadashi fasting. The devotees eat only once a day before this festival. On the fasting day, observe a long day fast and break it on the next day when both Rohini Nakshatra and Ashtami Tithi are over.

The method of observing fast and offering puja:

  • After getting free of your morning routine, recite 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaaye" mantra as many times as you wish. 
  • If you have kept an idol of Bal Krishna in your temple at home, you should decorate the same with fancy clothes and jewellery, as per your will and capacity, and celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna at midnight. Make panjiri – the traditional sweet associated with this festival - and white butter as prasadam to Bal Krishna. 
  • Offer 56 bhog (food items) or other tasty things to Bal Krishna the next day. You may now end your Janmashtami fast and eat after offering food to Bal Krishna.
