JANMASHTAMI

(Bhadrapada Krishna 8)

 
 

Shri Krihna’s appearance (generally occurring in August) is one of the most important festivals of the year. On this day the Blessed Lord is bathed with milk, ghee, curds, honey and powdered sugar and adorned in saffron-colored garments that show the great affection Shri Krishna and Shri Svamini share for each other. The ornaments are largely red in color, a hue that increases the excitement of the amorous mood. Shri Krishna’s necklaces are really the forms of His bhaktas and that is why He wears them near His heart.

Shri Krishna wears peacock feathers and a tiger-nail locket is put around His neck to protect Him from the evil eye. Lotus motifs are painted on Shri Krishna’s cheeks with a saffron paste.

Shri Krishna’s appearance is at midnight and all the Gopis come and make secret offerings to their Beloved. Shri Krishna’s entrance into the world of matter is strictly to shower grace over His bhaktas. He appeared not only to relieve the burdens of the world, but to shower grace.
