This time the festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami will be celebrated across the country on 4th September. There is special enthusiasm among the devotees regarding the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. This year, the festival of Janmashtami is being considered special because after about 15 years such a coincidence is taking place, when Rohini Nakshatra will also be there along with Ashtami Tithi during the midnight of Janmashtami. According to religious beliefs, Lord Shri Krishna was incarnated in Dwapar Yuga during Rohini Nakshatra at midnight on the Ashtami Tithi of Bhadrapada Krishna Paksha.
Therefore, the simultaneous occurrence of Ashtami Tithi and Rohini Nakshatra on Janmashtami has special significance. Usually Ashtami Tithi falls on the day of Janmashtami, but Rohini Nakshatra does not coincide every year. This time due to the coincidence of both, the religious importance of the festival has increased further.
Janmashtami Midnight Ashtami-Rohini Coincidence
From astrological point of view, the togetherness of Ashtami Tithi and Rohini Nakshatra on the night of Janmashtami is considered auspicious. On the Ashtami of Bhadrapada Krishna Paksha, there can be a situation of Moon being in Taurus, but it is not possible to get the coincidence of Rohini Nakshatra every year. This time these situations are happening simultaneously during the midnight of Janmashtami. It is believed that just as Lord Krishna was born on Ashtami Tithi, Rohini Nakshatra and midnight, by worshiping him at such a coincidence, devotees attain special virtues. This is the reason why this time Janmashtami is being considered a special occasion for the devotees.
Result of observing Janmashtami fast
In religious texts, fasting on Shri Krishna Janmashtami has been described as extremely virtuous. It is believed that observing fast on this day, meditating Lord Krishna, chanting mantras and keeping vigil at night gives special results. There is a tradition of chanting and chanting the name of God on the night of Janmashtami. Devotees stay awake till midnight waiting for the birth of Kanha and celebrate his birth anniversary at 12 o’clock.
Worship Kanya like this on Janmashtami.
There is special importance of worshiping Lord Krishna as per the rituals on the day of Janmashtami. For puja, wake up early in the morning, take bath and wear clean clothes. After this, take a resolution to fast while meditating on God. It is considered auspicious to face east or north while worshiping. Install the idol or picture of Lord Shri Krishna and Mother Devaki in a clean place in the house. If possible, make Bal Gopal sit in the cradle. During the puja, also remember Devaki, Vasudev, Balram, Nand Baba and Mother Yashoda. Perform special worship at night, at the time of Lord Krishna’s birth i.e. at midnight. First of all, anoint Laddu Gopal with Panchamrit. After this, dress them in clean and new clothes. Apply yellow sandalwood or saffron tilak to God. Offering peacock crown and flute to Kanha is also considered auspicious. After this, swing Bal Gopal and offer him butter and sugar candy. Be sure to include Tulsi leaves in the offering.
