Krishna Janmashtami

 

Krishna Janmashtami


Hello, 

This is my first blog on this platform and to begin with Hare Krishna, I am going to write about what exactly is  Krishna Janmashtami, why we celebrate it and many more.

Krishna is said to be the 8th avatar of Lord Vishnu. He was born to Devaki and Vasudeva in 3228 BCE.

Lord Krishna was born on the 8th day of the dark fortnight (Ashtami) in Mathura. This day is observed as the birthday of Krishna and is called Krishna Janmashtami.  

People visit the ISKON temple which is dedicated to Lord Krishna to celebrate Janmashtami.



Hare Krishna!
