This year, Aug 21 was celebrated as Shri Krishna Janmashthami. Lord Krishna is one of the ten avataras of Lord Narayana. Krishna avatara was during dwapara yuga.
Srimad Bhagavatham describes the Birth of Lord Krishna in a very beautiful and heart-capturing manner. As a reader , one gets immersed in that description of the divinity and tranquility at the time of the Lords birth.
The time was auspicious. All the stars and planets were the positions from where they showered peace and joy. It was Rohini nakshatra (star ). The rivers were flowing with clear and sweet waters. The trees were full of flowers. The lakes were full of lotus flowers. There was a gentle breeze in the air which carried an intense and sweet smell of various flowers. The minds of all men were happy for no reason at all. There was peace , joy and tranquility everywhere. The fires which were kindled by the brahmins were burning with no smoke.
The devas and rishis were showering flowers on the earth and the entire earth was filled with a divine and peaceful atmosphere. The apsaras were dancing with abandon and the kinnaras were singing words of praises.
It was midnight and Abhijit muhurtha. There was a great roaring from the clouds just like the sound of waves in ocean. Lord Narayana was born to Devaki, the wife of Vasudeva.
Happy KrishnaJanmashtami to all !
