The Story Behind Janmashtami: Celebrating the Birth of Lord ...
श्री कृष्ण के जन्म की पूरी कहानी - FULL ...

Today I am extremely elated. Why?

Because we have a new member, a bundle of joy krishna kanaha added,yesterday  to my little sister. In true sense we will be celebrating Janmashtami this year.
Blessings from Krishna  and all if us to new member.

As such after Rakshabandhan,festive season starts..........in India

Why  do we celebrate  Krishna Janmashtami or Gokulashtami?

 Its to welcome Lord Krisna  in human form  on this earth.

Who is  Lord Krishna?

As I have  read  in storybooks and heard from my grandparents he was born some 5000 yrs ago to King Vasudev and Janaki in Mathura,Uttar Pradesh.He was the eighth child. He is incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

What's the story? Do you want to know?

According to Srimad Bhagavatam , Demons were terrorising people ,so mother earth was deeply heart,she went to Lord Brahma for help, who in turn went to Lord Vishnu and he promised to help.

Who  were these demons? What's the story?

This demon was Kansa, Janaki's brother.He was told by fortune teller that one of the child of Janaki will kill him. He was paranoid and wanted to kill Janaki but as Vasudev requested him not to kill Janaki as he would intimate him as the child will be born to Janaki, thus he imprisioned them.

As the children were born . He would kill them.This went on and as the eighth child was born the divine voice told Vasudev to carry the baby to his friend Nandbaba and Yashoda  in Vrindavana as they also had a baby by crossing river Yamuna.

In the midnight everyone was asleep the doors of prison opened and Vasudev carried the baby ,Yamuna was having huge waves but as soon as the water of Yamuna touched Krisna 's feet it settled and not only this as it was raining too Sheshnaag came  in resue of god and protected Thy from being wet. Vasudev quietly exchanged babies  and brought the child born to Yashoda to Janaki.

When Kansa came  to now about the child he came and smashed this baby but it flew in the sky  transforming into Goddess  Durga who warned him that the eighth child of  his sister is alive and would kill him and free the earth from his terror.

The story of Krishna's childhood ,youth are famous.How he played an important role in Mahabharata is not to be missed.The coversation of Krishna and Arjuna (the Pandava) entails that one should always stay with truth. 
How he helped save honour of Drapudi,wife of Pandavas is also an interesting story.  

In Srimad Bhagvatam everything is mentioned in detail about Krisna.On the day of Gokulashtami, people do kirtan,prepare 56 types of Bhog or dishes to Krisna  do aarti at 12 midnight as Krisna was born at that time. 

A pot filled with butter is tied on the string at a raised place and group of boys try to break it to have butter just as krisna use to do in his childhood.

His love with Radha is famous that depicts true love . Meera 's love for Lord Krisna is also a story to be read and narrated to kids.

Each story is a life learning lesson for us .
