Janmashtami Festival History

Lord Krishna, considered the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was born in the Dwapara Yuga to rid the world of evil and restore dharma (righteousness). Krishna was born in a prison cell in Mathura to Devaki and Vasudeva, and his uncle, King Kansa, frequently threatened his life, fearing that Krishna would be the one to kill him. Vasudeva brought little Krishna across the Yamuna River to Gokul, where he was raised by Nanda and Yashoda.

Janmashtami Significance

Janmashtami is a celebration of the triumph of good over evil, the value of dharma, and the strength of heavenly love and devotion. The road to enlightenment and liberation (moksha) is emphasized by Krishna through his teachings on karma (duty) and bhakti (devotion). Janmashtami also serve as a reminder of the value of happiness, love, and purity in life with the childhood tales of Kanha, stealing butter (makhan) and playing with the gopis. Lord Krishna is more than a god to many people; he is a companion, mentor, and defender as well.
