History and significance of Janmashtami 2023:
According to Hindu mythology, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, Lord Krishna, son of Devaki and Vasudev, was born on Janmashtami to destroy the demon king of Mathura, Kansa. Kansa was the brother of Krishna’s Devaki. The demon king had captured her sister and her husband and kept them in prison so he could kill her children after a prophecy proclaimed that the couple’s eighth child would cause Kansa’s downfall. Kansas killed six of his children.
However, at the time of the birth of his seventh child, Balrama, the fetus was mystically transferred from Devaki’s womb to that of Princess Rohini. When his eighth child, Krishna, was born, the entire palace fell fast asleep. The prison doors magically opened and Vasudeva rescued the baby and took him to Nand Baba and Yashodha’s house in Vrindavan. After making the exchange, Vasudeva returned to the palace with a girl and gave her to Kansa. When the evil king tried to kill the baby, she transformed into Durga, warning him of her impending doom. In this way, Krishna grew up in Vrindavan and then killed his uncle, Kansa. The birth of Lord Krishna is celebrated as Janmashtami.
Devotees of Lord Krishna celebrate the day with great devotion and reverence. He is seen as a symbol of divinity, love and justice. His life and teachings inspire devotees to lead a life based on dharma (righteousness), karma (action) and bhakti (devotion).
