The Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksh of Shravan month (August–September) in the Hindu calender. Umang, Ullas and Anand is in the air on this day all across India. In the North Mathura and Vrindavan region Ras Lila and various other dramatic enactments are the main features of the festival whereas Dahi Handi is celebrated in the west in Maharashtara. This tradition is known as Uraidi in Tamilnadu. Its worth mentioning that Lord Krishna is most celebrated God of India.
I opened TV today and found so called Astrologers and Acharyas advocating what people born in Aries Rashis to Pisces Rashi have some do’s and don’ts on the day of Krishna Janmashtami.
Some of salient features are as under. Aries born people should donate flute. They should not do pooja using steel utensils otherwise heavens will fall and they will have serious problems in business etc. Sagittarius born people should do pooja with yellow clothes and yellow flowers on Janamshtami. They do not donate spices otherwise…….. Libra born should donate spices and Tulsi and should not …………
In my understanding Lord Krishna is the only God with whom you can connect with any relation of friend, Pati (Lord), son, father, Guru or whatever you aspire. He is always an inspiration. Arjun found Guru and God in him. Meera found God. Radha found lover and God. Balram found younger brother. All the ladies all across India find lover, thief, naughty boy, son etc. in Lord Krishna and Sudama met his best friend. I pray to all my fellow friends to enjoy the day and try to discover Ullas, Umang and Anand on this great day and follow the teachings of your naughty Krishna.
In my humble opinion these so called who have wasted their lives and shamed Sanatan Dharma do not know iota about the connection of Hindus with Lord Krishna. May God bless them.
