Dahi Handi Celebrations


Dahi Handi

Dahi Handi is a game performed during the Janmashtami celebrations. In this, a earthen pot filled with butter, milk, dry fruits and honey is suspended from a rope about 30 ft to 40 ft off the ground. Sometimes the rope with which the pot is suspended is tied with rupee notes, which will later be distributed as prize money. Now, groups of young people gather around and form a huge pyramid by standing on the shoulders of one another until the last person is able to reach the pot and break it to claim the prize money. This Celebration attracts many tourists and this is a grand event in North Indian states, especially in places like Mumbai, Delhi and Mathura (birthplace of Lord Krishna) to name a few.

Raas Leela Celebrations


Raas Leela performance

Raas leela is a divine dance which was performed by Krishna and the gopis, of whom Radha is the closest to him. On the night of Raas leela Krishna invited the gopis to the banks of river Yamuna and danced with them all night long.

Nowadays, Raas leela is performed as a dance drama on the night of Krishna Janmashtami. This is a very grand event, especially in Mathura and Vrindavan, the birthplace of Lord Krishna.

Fasting On Krishna Janmashtami


Fasting for Krishna Bhagavan

Fasting is one important ritual many follow on this day. Devotees keep a 24 hours fast and only break it at midnight, the time of Lord Krishna birth. It is believed that fasting is one medium which will get you closest to Krishna and win you his blessings. There are different types of fasting,

Phalahar Fast and Nirjal Fast. In Phalahar fast, the person can have fruits and milk during the day but refrain from having grains, rice, salt etc. Nirjal fast on the other hand is a very strict fast, in which the person does not even drink water let alone have fruits. Only after offering prayers and bhog to Krishna at midnight, the person observing fast eats any food.

Indian Badminton League: Astro-Numerology Prediction (28.8.2013)


Like IPL, We are now witnessing IBL – India Badminton League. It is indeed good for the players and all are wishing that it gathers TRP to continue, online and offline. It is a good initiative and such things should also start for hockey and football. Hockey is our national game and is cornered due to the popularity of cricket. There were in fact, no sincere efforts ever made to make hockey popular. There will be several matches in this tournament and I am again trying to offer the results of the matches of this newborn IBL.

Every match will be a best of three games, with the third game a race to 11 points. In the first two games, the two-point gap rule has been dropped, so the first player to reach 21 points wins. There’ll be a minute’s break after the seventh and 14th points in the first two games and after the sixth point in third and final game.

Lord Krishna: Janmashtami 2013

 Little Krishna
This year Krishna Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna is on the 28th of August 2013. This is a festival celebrated far and wide by everyone. One can say that he is one of the most loved, adored and earnestly worshipped God among Hindus. Lord Krishna's influence has reached beyond India, many westerners are also showing interest in knowing and following the Krishna path.

Lord Krishna's life can be summarized mainly into 3 parts; his birth and childhood days, his youth and his role in Mahabharata.

For a thorough summary of Lord Krishna's birth, click here - Krishna Janmashtami

Bal Gopal (Little Krishna): The Makhan Chor


Lord Krishna is the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is the most powerful and also most popular avatar of Lord Vishnu. Krishna was the son of Vasudeva and Devaki, who was born as a reliever of the evil that had engulfed Mother earth. Soon after his birth, Lord Krishna was taken to a small village called Gokul where he was brought up as the son of Yashoda.

Later on, Lord Krishna slew all the demons who posed a threat to the people of earth. Some of the famous stories include, Killing of King Kamsa, his uncle and the ruler of Mathura; Killing of demon Putna , when he was only a baby, by sucking on her breast; Killing of Kali Nag who had poisoned River Yamuna and thus making it poison free.

Now, lets see the fun part of his childhood days. Lord Krishna was famous for being a mischievous child.

His love for butter and Indian sweets, especially Ladoos is known by everyone. Legend has it that, there has not been a day in Gokul when Krishna hasn't tried to steal butter and ladoos with the help of his trusted and equally mischievous brother Balaram and friends, much to Yashodha's worry to answer to the cries of all the neighbors' whose pots have been emptied of butter. His childhood days were spent as a cowherd, playing his mesmerising music with his flute and playing pranks on the Gopis and the people of Gokul.

Moving Onto The Youth & Handsome Krishna


Krishna who was famous for his charisma, valour and strength was loved and admired by one and all. He married Rukmini, the princess of Vidarbha and daughter of Bheemshaka. But a more popular and sought after story would be the story of Radha and Krishna. Even though Krishna ended up having wives, the love of Radha and the Gopika's for Krishna is regarded as the most purest.

There are many stories to back this above sentence. Once Narada asked Krishna why he considered Radha's love more pure than his wife Rukmani's. To this Krishna answered , the love of Rukmini is as a wife, who loves and worships her husband, who expects the same love and which can be paid back by loving her. But Radha's love is selfless, that she does not expect anything back from Krishna but to have the chance to Love him for eternity. The love between Radha and Krishna is considered the most purest and many worship them and seek their blessings.

Krishna's Role In Mahabharat

Krishna and Mahabharata

This stage in history can be considered the most important of all. The entire encounter is made into a book called Mahabharata, which is the most read, sought after book in the history. Krishna moved to Hastinapur to live with the Pandavas and Kauravas. When the Pandavas and Kauravas fought for the Kingdom, Krishna was sent as a mediator and failed in bringing peace between the two parties. Eventually a war broke out between the two which lasted for 18 days. Krishna played his part as the Chariot rider to Arjuna. It is then, that Lord Krishna advocates Arjuna about the Nishkam Karma Yoga (selfless action) which is the sacred path to achieve the truth. This part alone, where Krishna advises Arjuna makes the heart of the holy book Bhagavad Gita. The battle of Kurukshetra between Pandavas and Kauravas was fought in about 3000 BC.

Well... that is a brief summarization of Lord Krishna's life. Now, if this has gained your interest and if you would want to continue your prayers for Lord Krishna, then click here for - Krishna Bhajan

Krishna Bhagavan

Well… If there is one god, who is universally loved, adored and at the same time worshipped with utmost respect, then it is none other than Lord Krishna.

Lord Krishna is the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu and also considered to be the most powerful one. It has been universally accepted that the period between 3200 BC and 3100 BC is the time Lord krishna lived on earth. 

The story of the birth of Krishna Bhagavan goes like this…

Lord krishna was born to Vasudeva and Devaki, to put an end to all the evil that has descended upon Mother Earth. Lord Vishnu himself took form in Devaki’s womb and was born as Krishna.

The birthday of Lord Krishna is called as Krishna Janmashtami, and is celebrated with much love by one and all. Krishna’s birth was a threat to King Kamsa’s life, who was the brother of Devaki and the cruel ruler of Mathura. On the day of Vasudeva and Devaki’s wedding, King Kamsa had a dream that, the 8th son of Devaki would be the one responsible for his end on Earth. Then, Kamsa threatened to kill Devaki, but spared her only because of the promise made by Vasudeva, that every child they have would be handed over to him.

So, all the babies that were born to Devaki had been slaughtered by Kamsa and he was awaiting the birth of the 8th baby. On the night before Krishna’s birth, Lord Vishnu appeared in Vasudeva’s dreams and instructed him to take little krishna to Gokula and leave him to be raised as the son of Yashodha. Lord Krishna was born and king Kamsa’s fate was decided, Lord krishna eventually killed King Kamsa and rescued his parents and brought peace to Mathura.

This is just a brief narration about Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna’s legend are many to tell; his many adventures in killing various demons as young Bal Kanhaiya, his tales of love with Gopika’s and Radha, his role in Mahabharatha and many more.
