Lord Krishna

Lord Krishna was born on the 8th day of Dark Fortnight in the month of
Bhadon. Bhadon is a month in the Hindu calendar. Moreover, he was
born around 5,200 years ago approximately. Because he was one of the
most powerful Gods. He was born for a special purpose on Earth. Lord
Krishna was born to free the world from evil.

As a result, he played an important role in the book of Mahabharata.

Also, Lord Krishna preached about good karma and the theory of
Bhakti.

Lord Krishna was born in a prison. He was in the clutches if Kansa. But
his father Vasudev gave him to his friend Nand to save him. Because he
knew that Kansa was evil-minded. Furthermore after getting saved the
upbringing of Sri Krishna was in a Gokul family. Sri Krishna after some
time became strong. As a result, he was able to kill Kansa.

When I was a child I used to watch many shows on Sri Krishna. As a

result, I know many things about him. First of all, Sri Krishna was very
fond of eating Makhan. Because of that he always used to steal it from
his mothers’ kitchen. Therefore his name was ‘Natkahat Nand Lal’. Sri
Krishna was dark-colored. So he was always worried about his color.
Moreover, Sri Krishna had a friend named Radha. Radha was of great
importance to Krishna. So he always spent time with her. Radha was
very beautiful and fair so Lord Krishna always feels color complex.

How is Janmashtami Celebrated?

People celebrate Janmashtami in mid-night. Because Lord Krishna was

born in the dark. Moreover, people have a special way of celebrating the
festival. Since Sri Krishna was fond of eating Makhan people play this
sport.
The sport is, they tie an earthen pot(matki). The judge of the game ties
the matki really high from the ground. Furthermore, a person fills
Makhan in the matki. Also, what people do is they build a human
pyramid to break the matki. Since the matki is too high they have to
build a tall pyramid. As a result, many people have to take part in sport.
Moreover, there are other teams too who stop them from breaking the
matki. Equal chances are there for both the teams. Each team gets a
chance for a particular time period. If the team is not able to do it in
time then the other team tries it. This is an interesting sport many people
gather to watch this sport.

Furthermore, the celebration is also done in houses. People decorate

their houses from outside with lights. Moreover, the temples are full of
people. They perform various rituals inside the temple. As a result, we
hear the sound of bells and mantras the whole day.

Moreover, people perform a dance on different religious songs. Finally,

it is one of the most enjoyable festivals in the Hindu religion.
