The Spiritual Significance of Krishna Janmashtami
Why We Celebrate the Birth of Lord Krishna
The birth of Lord Krishna is not only a mythological occurrence but a cosmic act to rejuvenate Dharma and eliminate evil. His philosophy in the Bhagavad Gita is timelessness and has been and continues to guide mankind along the way of righteousness.
Born in Mathura’s jail to Devaki and Vasudev, Lord Krishna is the very symbol of divine love, wisdom, and naughtiness. Janmashtami represents the triumph of light over evil, hope over despair, and truth over falsehood.
On this day, bhaktas recall his leelas in Vrindavan and his childhood stories and chant his divine names with devotion. Keeping fast, performing puja at midnight Nishita kaal, and chanting Vishnu Sahasranama or Krishna mantras is said to bestow divine protection and blessings.
Traditional Rituals Performed on Janmashtami
1. Fasting (Vrat)
Most people follow Nirjal Vrat, not eating or drinking water the entire day, breaking it after midnight after celebrating the birth of Krishna. Some individuals follow Phalahari Vrat, eating fruits and milk only.
2. Midnight Puja and Abhishek
Since Lord Krishna was born at midnight, this is the holiest moment to make offerings to Him. Abhishek of the Krishna idol is performed with milk, honey, curd, ghee, and Gangajal by devotees. The idol is clothed in fresh clothes, decorated with flowers and ornaments.
3. Jhulan Utsav (Swinging the Idol)
The idol of Bal Krishna is kept in a decorated swing or cradle, which is rocked gently while singing Krishna bhajans. This indicates Krishna’s carefree and happy childhood.
4. Krishna Leela and Dahi Handi
Krishna Leela plays and Dahi Handi competitions are organised in different regions of India. These are symbolic reenactments of Krishna’s childhood pranks and celebration of his life among people.
5. Chanting and Singing Bhajans
Spiritual bhajans, shlokas, and 108 names of Lord Krishna are sung. The followers adorn their temples and houses with flowers, lights, and offer 56 Bhog (Chhappan Bhog) as offerings to the God.
Astrological Significance of Janmashtami
Janmashtami is also very auspicious for spiritual growth and inner purification. The energies of this day are powerful because of the alignment of the moon and planets. Conducting puja at the appropriate muhurat can eliminate Kundli doshas, correct marital or professional problems, and bring positivity in life.
