Happy Janmashtami 2024: Send Wishes And Quotes From Bhagwad Gita

The teachings of Lord Krishna, particularly those enshrined in the Bhagavad Gita, offer timeless wisdom that resonates with devotees during Janmashtami.

Happy Janmashtami 2024: Send Wishes And Quotes From Bhagwad Gita

Janmashtami is a sacred festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu. It is observed on Ashtami, the eighth day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada, typically falling in August or September. This year, the celebration is on Monday, August 26, 2024.

In Delhi, the auspicious time for puja, known as the Nishita Puja Muhurat, begins at 12:01 AM on August 27 and lasts until 12:45 AM, as per Drikpanchang. This 45-minute window is considered the most favorable for devotees to perform their rituals, seeking the blessings of Lord Krishna.

 

Significance of Fasting on Janmashtami

Fasting is a significant aspect of Janmashtami observance. Many devotees undertake a 24-hour fast, culminating in the midnight feast known as “bhog,” which is offered to Krishna as an expression of devotion and gratitude. The night of Janmashtami is believed to be the exact moment when Lord Krishna was born, and this belief is observed with deep devotion. The fast is broken only after the midnight aarti, a ritual signifying Krishna’s birth. The festival is marked by special prayers, bhajans, and the offering of ‘bhog’ to the deity, all performed with the hope of seeking Krishna’s blessings for happiness, peace, and the removal of life’s worries.
