    Yashoda is often depicted as the epitome of motherhood, symbolising the bond between a mother and child. Stories from Hindu scriptures highlight her affectionate yet disciplined approach to raising Krishna, including the famous episodes of tying Krishna to a grinding mortar (Damodara Leela) and witnessing his divine cosmic form. These stories inspire devotion and reflect the virtues of patience, care and spiritual wisdom.

    The celebration of Yashoda Jayanti also emphasises the importance of motherhood in shaping a child’s character and destiny. It is a day to honor maternal figures and recognise their sacrifices and unconditional love. The festival reinforces the values of love, devotion, and duty, making it a significant occasion in Hindu traditions.

    When Is Krishna Janmashtami 2025? Know the Gokulashtami Date, Shubh Muhurat, Fasting Rules, Rituals and Significance To Celebrate Lord Krishna’s Birthday

    Krishna Janmashtami, a major Hindu festival, is observed with fasting and prayer by devotees who seek to honour the birth of Lord Krishna. Devotees observing the fast typically begin by having a single meal the day before Janmashtami, and they continue fasting until the following day. The fast is broken only after the Rohini Nakshatra and Ashtami Tithi have passed, which are both crucial in determining the appropriate time for the fast to end. Some devotees may choose to break the fast when either Rohini Nakshatra or Ashtami Tithi concludes, but the most appropriate time is after both have ended. So, when is Krishna Janmashtami in 2025? In this article, we bring you Krishna Janmashtami 2025 date, Gokulashtami shubh muhurat, fasting rules, rituals and significance to celebrate Lord Krishna’s birthday. Hindu Festivals Calendar 2025: Know the Dates of Holi, Chaitra Navratri, Durga Puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali and Other Major Festivals in India.

    The fasting day begins with a Sankalpa (a vow or intention) that is taken after completing the morning rituals. This marks the start of a day-long fast that culminates in the sacred Krishna Puja, performed during Nishita Kaal, the midnight period according to Vedic timekeeping. The detailed Shodashopachara Puja involves 16 steps, with each step corresponding to specific rituals and mantras to honour Lord Krishna’s divine presence. Purnima 2025 Calendar: Know Full Moon Dates, Poornima Significance and Fasting Rituals for the Auspicious Observance. 

    Krishna Janmashtami Fasting Rules and Significance

    During the fast, grains should be avoided until the fast is broken the following day after sunrise. Similar to the fast observed during Ekadashi, all the customary fasting rules are observed on Janmashtami, including refraining from eating grains and adhering to a sattvic (pure) diet. The fast is typically broken at sunrise on the following day, but only after both Rohini Nakshatra and Ashtami Tithi have concluded. If these phases do not conclude before sunset, the fast can be broken during the day once either Ashtami Tithi or Rohini Nakshatra ends.

    In certain cases, when neither of these phases concludes before sunset or even before Hindu Midnight (also known as Nishita Time), devotees are encouraged to wait until both phases have concluded before breaking the fast.

    For some, the fast may continue for two complete days, depending on the timing of Rohini Nakshatra and Ashtami Tithi. If fasting for two days is not feasible, the fast may be broken the following morning after sunrise. This practice is supported by Hindu texts like the Dharmasindhu.

    Krishna Janmashtami, also known by various other names such as Krishnashtami, Gokulashtami, Ashtami Rohini, Srikrishna Jayanti, and Sree Jayanthi, is a time for devotion, fasting, and celebration, with followers throughout India partaking in this spiritual observance.
