There have been two such great men in India whose birth anniversary is considered as a religious event since time immemorial. According to historians Lord Rama was born about 10 thousand years ago and Lord Krishna was born 5000 years ago. From the astrological point of view, Lord Rama was born on the Navami day at Abhijit Muhurta i.e. at 12 noon and Lord Krishna was born in Abhijit Muhurta at midnight on Ashtami. In this Muhurta, victory is achieved in every work.
Significance of Shri Jayanti Yoga
Krishna was born on Bhadra Paksha Ashtami Tithi on Wednesday at midnight of Rohini Nakshatra and Moon in Taurus sign. Many times it happens that there is Moon in Taurus but there is no Rohini Nakshatra, so there is a situation of confusion, but this year after 8 years it is becoming a rare coincidence when Rohini Nakshatra will also be there and the zodiac will also be Taurus. However, instead of Wednesday, it is falling on Monday. If Krishnashtami falls on Monday or Wednesday, then this day is known as Jayanti and is considered very auspicious.
Auspicious Time
The festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami will be celebrated on Monday, August 30. Ashtami Tithi will start at 11:25 pm on 29th August, which will continue till 01:59 pm on 30th August. That is why this year the festival will be on August 30. The auspicious time of worship on Janmashtami will be from 11:59 pm to 12:44 pm on August 30. On this day, the birth anniversary of Bal Gopal will be held at midnight. You will get a total of 45 minutes of auspicious time for worshiping Bal Krishna on this day.
