About This Post

Janmashtami is the celebration of Lord Krishna's birth. This year Janmashtami will be celebrated on 14th august 2017. Janmashtami is celebrated majorly in places like Vrindavan and Mathura as it is the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Along with this, northern, western and southern parts of India majorly participate in this event as Lord Krishna is considered to be born on a dark and windy night. Lord Krishna is believed to have lived for 5000 years in the lands of Mathura, Vrindavan, Kurukshetra and Dwarka, where many stories of his conquest during his growing up years have been written about.

Even though Janmashtami is a daylong celebration in most parts of the country, as the birth time of Lord Krishna was a dark night, celebrating Janmashtami during midnight is considered to be an ideal item. Lord Krishna is considered to be the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu

 

. Lord Vishnu was a supreme god and being his eighth incarnation makes Lord Krishna, the destroyer of all things evil. Lord Krishna is one of the most powerful human incarnations of Lord Vishnu. He was born 5,200 years ago in Mathura and hence, the place is lit up on this auspicious day.
