Why Do We Celebrate Krishna Janmashtami!

in Cross Culture2 years ago (edited)

Hello Hiveans, hope you are doing well and Indians are enjoying the Janmashtami festival. Lord Krishna was born today after a lot of struggle done by his parents.

Lord Krishna is known to be the naughtiest, loveable and cutest child. Every mother wants a child like Krishna, Krishna has a lot many names like Kanha, Makhan Chor, Murlidhar. We use to call him Makhan Chor because during his childhood he use to steal the fresh cow butter from neighbours and eat it with friends. Murlidhar name was given when he started using the flute. Flute is called Murli or Bansi in Hindi.

As heard from my granny, Murlidhar had 108 queens. Every single women love him like a mother, cared him like a sister and ran behind him like a family. He use to impress the whole world with his Murli and his funny behaviour.

Even now when a woman is pregnant, the elders say that, just be happy and always think about Murlidhar. So that his blessings are always with the child.

Murlidhar was born on astmi, at 12 AM. He was born in an prism and his own material uncle (Kansh) wanted to kill him because Kansh was aware that he will be killed by Murlidhar and no one else can kill him. Just to be always alive Kansh killed all the childrens of his own sister and he wanted to do the same with Murlidhar. But while Murlidhar's parents were in prison they found a way to save Murlidhar.

One dark night when the mother was suffering from pain and the father was planning to get out the child safely from prison. It was raining heavily and everyone was scared. We suddenly heard a crying voice, when the ** Shri Krishna was born. His father without wasting a single second took to another village and left him at a strange house. That's why we celebrate the Janmashtami**

Yashoda found the Murlidhar, Yashoda is a woman who was also in pain because she was not having children. She always wanted a child so that she can take care of him. And someone who would call her mother. Finally Yashoda found Krishna, she took very good care of Murlidhar and loved him like his own mother. She was not aware of that her Murlidhar was a Avtar of Lord Vishnu.

Kansh always wanted to kill Murlidhar, he always did planning and plotting to kill him. But always failed he did not know that he is trying to kill a god not a human. He always failed but never gave up. When the Murlidhar was of nine years old, he finally killed Kansh Mama. And told yashoda about the Vishnu Avtaar.

This the wonderful story of Shri Krishna

Hope it was meaningful, just tell your child. And let me know if you liked it. Thanks for reading it out.
