Janmashtami is the main festival of Hindus. According to Hindu beliefs, Natkhat Nandlal, the eighth incarnation of Shri Hari Vishnu, the creator, is celebrated as Shri Krishna Jayanti or Janmashtami, the birthday of Shri Krishna. However, this time people are confused about the date of Krishna Janmashtami that Janmashtami should be celebrated on 23 August or 24 August. Actually, it is believed that Lord Krishna was born on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksha of Bhado month in Rohini Nakshatra. If we look at the date of Ashtami, then Janmashtami should be on 23 August, but if we consider Rohini Nakshatra, then Krishna Janmashtami should be on 24 August.

The story of Shri Krishna's birth
At the end of the Treta Yuga and the beginning period of Dwapara a very sinful Kansa was born. In Dwapar era, Bhojwanshi king Ugrasena ruled in Mathura. His son Kansa removed him from the throne and became king of Mathura himself. Kansa had a sister Devaki, who was married to a Yaduvanshi chieftain named Vasudev. Once Kansa was going to deliver his sister Devaki to her in-laws. On the way, suddenly there was a voice in the sky- 'O Kansa, the Devaki whom you are carrying with great love, in which your time resides. The eighth child born from this womb will kill you.
Hearing the good news, Kansa stood up to kill his brother-in-law Vasudev. Then Devaki humbly said to him- 'I will bring the child from my womb to you. What is the benefit of killing a brother-in-law? ' Kansa agreed to Devaki and returned to Mathura. He put Vasudev and Devaki in jail. Seven children were born from Devaki's womb in the dungeon itself, but Kansa killed them as soon as they were born. Now there was going to be an eighth child. They were vigorously guarded in prison. At the same time, Nand's wife Yashoda was also going to have a child.
At the time when a son was born to Vasudev-Devaki, at the same time a girl was born from Yashoda's womb, which was nothing but 'Maya'. In the cell where Devaki-Vasudev was imprisoned, suddenly there was light and in front of him appeared the quadrilateral god holding conch, chakra, mace, Padma. Both fell at the feet of God. Then God told him- 'Now I take the form of a newborn baby again. You send me to your friend Nanda's house in Vrindavan at this time, and hand over the girl who is born to her to Kansa. The atmosphere is not favorable at this time. Still you don't worry Awake guards will fall asleep, the gates of the prison will open automatically and the swollen Yamuna will give you a way to cross. '
At the same time, Vasudev, leaving the newborn baby-form Shri Krishna in the soup, left the prison and crossed the unfathomable Yamuna and reached Nanda's house. There he put the newborn child to sleep with Yashoda and came to Mathura with the girl. The prison gates closed as before. Then Kansa wanted to go to the prison and snatch the newborn girl from Devaki's hand and slam her on the earth, but the girl flew into the sky and said from there - 'Hey fool, what will happen to me if you kill me? The one who killed you has reached Vrindavan. He will soon punish you for your sins. My name is Vaishnavi and I am Maya of the same Jagadguru Vishnu. After saying this she became angry.
Fearing his death, Kansa called Pootna and ordered him to kill Krishna. Pootna assumed the form of a very beautiful woman after getting Kansa's orders and reached Nanda Baba's house. Seeing the opportunity, he picked up Krishna and started feeding him. While breastfeeding, Krishna also lost his life. Kansa becomes more worried after hearing the news of Pootna's death

One day Sri Krishna was playing on the banks of river Yamuna, when the ball fell from him and he jumped into the river to get the ball. Here, as soon as Yashoda got the news, she rushed to the banks of river Yamuna and started mourning. When Shri Krishna reached down, Nagaraja's wife said- 'Oh gentleman! From which place and for what purpose have you come here? If my husband Nagraj Kalia wakes up, he will devour you. Then Krishna said, 'I am the Kaalya Nag's Kaal and I have come here to kill him and to sanctify this Yamuna river.
On hearing this, Kalia snake got up and started fighting with Shri Krishna. When Kalia Nag was completely dead, then his wife came there and started praising Krishna to protect her husband's life, 'O Lord! I could not recognize you Bhubaneswar Krishna. Hey Janaad! I am devoid of mantras, devoid of actions and devoid of devotion. Protect me Hey, God! Hey Hare! Give me my lord in the form of prasad, that is, protect my husband. Then Shri Krishna said that you leave this Yamuna river with your brothers and brothers and go somewhere else. After this, Kalia Nag bowed down to Krishna and left the Yamuna river and went elsewhere. Krishna also came out of the river Yamuna with his ball.
