Importance of Krishna Janmashtami Festival in India

Janmashtami is one of the most famous festivals celebrated in India because it is the birthday of Lord Krishna. Just a few days from Janmashtami, we start seeing little Krishnas on the road. This happens due to all schools celebrating Krishna Janmashtami in schools, so they ask all children to come to school dressed as Krishna for boys and Radha for girls. We also sent our son dressed as Krishna to the school. Janmashtami has huge acceptance among Indians people from all religions send their children dressed in the attire of Krishna or Radha.

Janmashtami is associated with Lord Krishna, one of the most loved Gods in India and he is believed as the complete avatar of Supreme God Vishnu. Krishna is best known for his disclosure of Bhagwad Geeta to Krishna. The information in Geeta is so good that it is very well relevant even today and anyone can attain a supreme mental state by following the lessons of Geeta. It is the faith of people, which makes any God favourite or popular and devotees of Krishna have great faith in him.

In a world where many Gods are competing for popularity, Krishna is undoubtfully the most popular. People have so much faith in Krishna that many people dedicate their whole life to Krishna. I am born in a family where the Janmashtami celebration and fasts on this day are a common affair, so we always take it very seriously when it is to celebrating the Janmashtami festival.



One of the other reasons for the popularity of Sri Krishna in India is his strong belief in love. Throughout, his life, he gave the humankind message of love. According to him, we can only find the true meaning of life through love. In the present world where hatred is spreading all across the world, we need love strongly. Therefore, we need an ideal like Sri Krishna who has strong trust in love. Till the time, love and Geeta will survive in this world, Lord Krishna will never lose his popularity.
