Janmashtami is the festival that celebrates the birthday of Krishna. It is also called Gokulashtami, Krishna Jayanti, Ashtami Rohini, Saatam Aaatham, etc. Krishna was the 8th incarnation of Vishnu. Krishna took birth to rid the world of evil forces and restore Dharma on earth.
The Birth of Krishna
Mythology says that Krishna was the 8th child of Devaki, the sister of the evil king of Mathura, Kamsa, and her husband, Vasudev. He was born in a prison where Kamsa had incarcerated his parents. He did this to protect himself from being killed. A divine prophecy had warned him that the 8th child of his sister would be his slayer. So he imprisoned the couple and killed each child that was born to them.
However, due to divine intervention, Vasudev escaped from prison the night Krishna was born and fled to Gokul with the baby. In Gokul, he swapped his son with his friend Nanda’s daughter, who was also a newborn, and returned to Mathura. Even Nanda and his wife, Yashodha, were not aware of the swap.
Back in Mathura, Kamsa arrived to kill the baby girl who he believed was his niece. But the child slipped from his hands and turned into Goddess Yogmaya, who declared that his slayer was alive and well. Though Kamsa made many attempts to find Krishna and kill him, he did not succeed. Eventually, as a youth, Krishna made his way to Mathura and killed his uncle.
Krishna appeared on earth at midnight on Ashtami Tithi, or the 8th day of Krishna Paksha in Shravan month (Aug-Sept).
