Today is Shree Krishna Janmashtami also known as Krishnashtami and Gokulashtami that is the birthday of Lord Krishna an avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is a festival celebrated by Hindus all over India and the world with religious fervor and traditional enthusiasm.
The tradition of celebrating Lord Krishna’s Birthday is over 5200 years old! According to scholars, Lord Krishna was born on 19th July 3228 BC that is on Wednesday the eighth day (Ashtami) of the second fortnight of Sravana Masam (Month of Sravana). He was born to Devaki and Vasudeva in a prison cell at Mathura. This place still exists and is thronged by pilgrims and visitors throughout the year. It is between Delhi and Agra and all tourists visiting Taj Mahal make it a point to visit Shree Krishna Temple and his place of birth at Mathura. This is how I and my wife happened to visit Mathura and similarly, my two sons went there separately during their return journey from Taj Mahal to Delhi.
On this happy occasion of Krishnashtami, I wish you and your family, happiness, prosperity, and peace. May Lord Krishna bless you richly.

  2. Janmashtami is the day of the year to celebrate one's Krishna’s birth. He was born at midnight and so many people celebrate at midnight. They do so with prayers or by putting decorated idols of him as a baby in a cot to symbolise his birth. Hinduism is an free religion and people worship him in many ways, from spending the day in penance to merely taking a few moments to remember him, from fasting the whole day to reciting prayers at midnight.
