It is the time of Krishna Janam Utsav also popularly called as “Janamashtami”. Krishna Janamashtami is dedicated to Lord Krishna and is celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in Shravana month as per the Hindu calendar. This festival mostly comes in the month of August every year and there are many legends behind celebration of the festival. One of the most famous legends behind this festival is that Lord Krishna was born on this dark and stormy night so as to make an end to the atrocities of his maternal uncle, Kansa. Lord Krishna was the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu.

Janamashtami which is celebrated in the joy of Lord Krishna birth is celebrated mainly in the Northern part of India. This is a Hindu festival and is celebrated with lots and lots of fervor and enthusiasm. Vrindavan and Mathura in Uttar Pradesh are the main places where you can find the celebration of Janamashtami on its full scale. Devotees observe full day fast on the seventh day of Shravan month and visit temples of Lord Krishna to pat their obeisance. It is also believed that Lord Krishna took birth in the midnight of Saptami and Ashtami and so the devotees carry out prayers of Lord Krishna full night.

One can also find the Jhankis that are carried out in different cities on trucks. These Jhankis are the processions showing the life stories of Lord Krishna. People take part in these Jhankis in large number and celebrate all through showing their devotion towards Krishna.

It is not just Krishna Janamashtami is celebrated in North India but it is also celebrated in South India by Iyengars and they call it by the name of Sri Krishna janamashtami or Krishnajayanthi.

Maharashtra celebrates Krishna Janamashtami in the form of Dahi Handi. This is the main attraction in Maharashtra which attracts people from all over the country. While celebrating this event, a clay pot is filled with buttermilk and curd and is positioned at certain height in a street. Now this Dahi Handi is broken by a person standing on the topmost position of the human pyramid. Buttermilk spills all over the people standing down and this spilling of buttermilk are considered as a good sign for humanity and unity. Mostly the youngsters participate in the human pyramid and are known as Govinda which is another name of Lord Krishna.

INCARNATIONS OR AVATAR OF LORD VISHNU AS LORD KRISHNA

Posted by Prav on July 31st, 2009

275px RadheShyam07 INCARNATIONS OR AVATAR OF LORD VISHNU AS LORD KRISHNA

In KRISHNA Avatar, Lord Vishnu incarnates himself as KRISHNA , the central character in the epic MAHABHARATA. In this biggest epic of Indian mythology a myriad of topics are covered, including war, love, brotherhood, politics etc. It is essentially the story of two warring groups of cousin brothers, the PANDAVAs and the KAURAVAs.

As a part of the Mahabahrata, during the war KRISHNA, gives a long discourse to his disciple ARJUNA, collectively termed as Bhagvad-Gita. Krishna, during his child-hood was responsible for the killing of Kansa. Krishna is also considered to be an ultimate playboy who was responsible for charming all gopikaas (cow herdesses) around him.

KRISHNA is a deity worshiped across many traditions in Hinduism in a variety of perspectives. While many Vaishnava groups recognize him as an avatar of Vishnu, other traditions within Krishnaism consider Krishna to be svayam bhagavan, or the Supreme Being.

Krishna is often depicted as an infant, as a young boy playing a flute as in the Bhagavata Purana, or as a youthful prince giving direction and guidance as in the Bhagavad Gita. The stories of Krishna appear across a 180px Avatars of Vishnu The story of KRISHNA Avatarbroad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. They portray him in various perspectives: a god-child, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero and the Supreme Being. The principal scriptures discussing Krishna’s story are the Mahābhārata, the Harivamsa, the Bhagavata Purana and the Vishnu Purana.

The stories of Krishna’s childhood and youth tell of his mischievous pranks as Makhan Chor (butter thief), his foiling of attempts to take his life, and his role as a protector of the people of Vrindavana. Krishna is said to have killed the demons like Putana, sent by Kamsa for Krishna’s life. He tamed the serpent Kaliya, who previously poisoned the 180px Krishna Janmashtami INCARNATIONS OR AVATAR OF LORD VISHNU AS LORD KRISHNAwaters of Yamuna river, thus leading to the death of the cowherds. In Hindu art, Krishna is often depicted dancing on the multi-hooded Kaliya.

Krishna is believed to have lifted the Govardhana hill and taught Indra—the king of the devas and rain a lesson—to protect native people of Vrindavana from persecution by Indra and prevent the devastation of the pasture land of Govardhan. Indra had too much pride and was angry when Krishna advised the people of Vrindavana to take care of their animals and their environment that provide them with all their necessities, The story of KRISHNA Avatarinstead of Indra. In the view of some, the spiritual movement started by Krishna had something in it which went against the orthodox forms of worship of the Vedic gods such as Indra.

The stories of his play with the gopis (milkmaids) of Vrindavana became known as the Rasa lila and were romanticised in the poetry of Jayadeva, author of the Gita Govinda.

These became important as part of the development of the Krishna bhakti traditions worshiping Radha Krishna.

Unlike Ramayana, Mahabharata deals with more down to earth issues like politics, human nature, human weaknesses, and does not attempt to idealize the characters as in RAMAYANA.
