2018 Janmashtami Sunday Sep 02,2018

The Dwapar Yuga is significant for the birth of Lord Krishna, who took various forms to inspire mankind and teach fundamental principles essential for righteous living.

An avatar of Lord Vishnu, Krishna was born while his parents - Devaki and Vasudev - were held captive by his maternal uncle Kansa, the King of Mathura.

Born in the Hindu month of Shravana on Ashtami Tithi as Rohini Nakshatra prevailed, Krishna is an iconic universal figure who epitomises compassion, greatness and righteousness.  It was he took the Vishwaroopam at the battlefield of Kurukshetra to help Arjuna understand his fundamental duties.

The dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna form the framework of the Bhagvad Gita.

Janmashtami or Gokulashtami is a special festival that marks the birth of Lord Krishna, the ninth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This year, Janmashtami will be celebrated on Sunday Sep 02,2018

A number of people observe fast as a gesture of devotion while many others indulge in festivities by singing songs in praise of the divine.
