Gokulashtami - Hindu Festival

It is the time to wish Lord Krishna on his Birthday ( Krishna Jayanthi) on 13th August. Krishna Avatar is one of the avatar in 10 avatars of lord Vishnu. Krishna is often treated as a kid/small boy playing flute and eat butter unknowingly. Hindu's Mythological book(Holly Book) Bagavath gita was said by him. Krishna was the prince of mathura who is the son of vasudeva and devaki and brought up by yasoda. Gokulashtami is the hindu festival celebrated on krishnas birthday. Hindus place the footprints in their house and worship krishna on that day. It is also known as Janmashtami.

On Krishna Jayanthi, Hindus used to prepare Seedai, Murukku, Milk, Curd, fruits, Aval (rice quashed and dried). There were many mythological stories about Lord krishna and i like to share a story about Krishna lifting govarthana hills. There was a huge storm and heavy rain that flooded the streets of virndhavana and people were running here and there to safeguard them and their families and there were no separate place to shelter because their roofs were hit by those storms. People ask krishna to safeguard them, finally krishna lifted the govarthana hill and protected the people who requested him. There are so many stories about him.
