What is Krishna Janmashtami?
Janmashtami will be celebrated occasioning the birth of
Supreme personality Lord Sri Krishna.
According to Hindu Mythology Janmashtami is one of the most
renowned festivals celebrated across the world. It is estimated that close to
50 million people across the world celebrate this festival, at home, Temples,
or at places which are specially organized to celebrate this occasion. It’s
like a new years eve to all the Hindu’s as it is celebrated at the biggest
scale across the World / Country.
Now the most important question is on what is that special
thing about Krishna, to celebrate his Birthday! This actually happens to be a
question which every individual has [the one who belongs to other religion i.e.
Non Hindu]
It is said that the Heart of Human beings [Hurdy] is the
Birth Place of Lord Krishna, it is said that only when the hearts of people
become pure, filled with peace, and as cool as Himachala that is the True Birth
Day of Krishna.
Lord Sri Krishna who always gives back to all the
individuals who love with pure heart and worship him without any worldly
requests
Lord Sri Krishna is the only adorable and the Most romantic
and compassionate Lover the world have ever witnessed, during his child hood he
was the mischievous son to matha yashoda and Krishna always surprised her with
new things in life.
During his entire life lord sri Krishna had no. of wars with
people in order to save his country and devotes, hence it is also believed that
the B’day of Krishna [AShtami] is the day of bad luck by some people and rumors
float around to say that everybody who is born janmashtami will end his life in
troubles, however with the other section of society believe that the person who
is born on janmashtami will be a RULER and would be protector of Dharma
How is Janmastami Celebrated?
The Birth day of Lord Krishna [Janmashtami] is celebrated
most uniquely than any other festival. Unlike other festivals janmastami is not
celebrated by wearing new clothes on the day of janmastami or by going to relatives
houses to celebrate it, is it celebrated in a different way altogether.
Janmashtami is the festival which is celebrated with utmost
zeal and enthusiasm among people on the day of Lord Sri Krishna.
the other name for celebrating the birth of Lord Sri Krishna
[janmashtami ] is DAHIHANDI it is known as dahi handi in the business capital
of India i.e Mumbai and the growing city
of the country Pune along with some western part of Indian states.
On the Day of Janmashtami people gather at one place, most
preferable in and around the temple premises, the Handi [Pot] will be fully filled
with Curd / butter milk and it will be positioned at a height which can only be
reached with the help of ladder, and to reach it all the youngsters together
form the human Pyramid to reach the Handi which is already positioned at a
height.
The Top most person in the pyramid will get a chance to
break the HANDI by hitting it with either a coconut which he would carry along
with him while he climbs the pyramid or with anything which is blunt in nature.
When the person breaks the handi the curd / butter milk will be spilled on the
entire pyramid which is formed with Humans, it is the symbol of UNITY and
ACHIEVEMENT IN TOGETHER NESS this would only be possible when people trust each
other.
During the formation of Pyramid, people chant / shout the
name of lord Sri Krishna as Govinda, hare Krishna / bal Krishna, etc and dance
in the trans of lord Krishna

Meaning of Bhaja
Govindam Song: [according to stanza’z Sung]
Oh Fool Worship Lord Govinda for his kindness and love on
you. – oh Fool oh fool
Worship / Seek / Pray
Govinda till the last second of your life until you reach to the last
second of your breath , these utter praises of this false world will not save
you, only Govinda can save you.
Oh Fool never be in the False world filled with Desires and
never be a slave to your desires, Give those up and pray Govinda, remove this
thirst from your heart for desire.
Occupy your mind only and only Good and holy & Healthy Thoughts,
and always be filled with content and
only react to through the actions of past.
As long as you have the ability to earn money and wealth you
will be attached to your dependents,
once your body and soul becomes old and you wander with your
inability to move at home no one cares to speak a word with the old soul
Hence never take pride in your possessions or wealth which
comes from people when you are Young and when you have wealth with you
Time Changes everything and takes away all that which you have
at the moment
As Govinda says, Please free your self from this false world
of illusion and from the world of “Maya” and attarin the truth of timelessness
One who Shelters in Temples and sleeps under the Trees by
wearing a deer skin and who rest on the naked ground, thus will renounce all
the ideas of attachement along with possession.
For whom this
indifference will not bring happiness ?
Read a little pieces of Bhagavad Gita or atleast take few
drops from River Ganga and worship the lord Krishna [murari] atleast once and
hence you will have no quarrel with Lord Yama [the god of Death]
As said in Bhagavad Gita, birth and Death are the two things
which are bound to happen, Rebirth, Re death and rebirth will happen
Samsara is the toughest path to corss, Save me oh Lord
Krishna / murari with your infinite Kindness
Regularly Read few stanzas from the Bhagavad Gita,
continuously perform meditation, Fill your heart with Lord Vishnu by chanting
his glories he will come to rescue you.
Only take pride in the noble and holy Causes and share your
wealth with the needy in this world
Wealth would only stay for some time in life and there is no
joy in it, reflect on this ideal truth in your entire life.
With the wealth even a rich man with un imaginable wealth
has to fear with his own son, this is the cruelty of having wealth and it is
the way
By worshipping Lord, may your be pass through Samsara in all
well fashion
It can only happen through continous efforts to control your
mind and training your senses, only though which you can fill your heart with
lord and purify your soul
