Sri Krishna

had 16108 wives. Out of which above

mentioned are called as Krishna

astamahishiyaru..

Remaining

16100 were Agniputraas born as women just to have the sannidhana and samparka

of Srihari. Sri Krishna had from each

of his 16108 wives 10 male and 1 female children.

Mothers of

Sri Krishna -

Â· Sri Krishna Paramathma had

three mothers â€“

Â· All the three did the

tapassu to get Krishna as their children.

Â·

Devaki became the mother by

giving birth

Â·

Yashoda became his mother by

giving breast milk

Â·

Rohini became his mother by

virtue of Sri Krishna being born in Rohini Nakshatra

What

is Krishna Astami & what is Krishna

Jayanti?-

As per sampradaya, the Sri Krishna Janmashtami is

observed on the day when the ashtami tithi occurs at midnight. If the ashtami

tithi AND the Rohini nakshatra occur on the same day, then the observance is

considered to be doubly sacred; otherwise the observance is held on the day on

which the ashtami prevails at midnight.

Shravana

Krishna paksha Astami it is

Krishnastami.

If on that

day if there is Rohini Nakshatra it is termed as Sri Krishna Jayanti. It is the sacred day for all as it is on this

day that Sri Krishna, who is not having the Praktuta shareera, was born as a child of Devaki.

Why

Sri Krishnarghya?

If we give

Arghya on Krishna astami day or on Krishna Jayanthi day, we will get the punya

equal to Samarpana of samastabhoomandala as per Bhavishyottara purana.argya mantra -à²œà²¾à²¤: à²•à²‚à²¸à²µà²§à²¾à²°à³à²¥à²¾à²¯ à²à³‚à²à²¾à²°à³‹à²¤à³à²¤à²¾à²°à²£à²¾à²¯ à²š |

Sri

Krishastami vratha is also Haridina just like Ekadashi. But the importance of performing one Srikrishnastami

is equal to 20 crore Ekadashis. We

should not leave Krishnastami, saying that we are doing Ekadashi, and similarly

we must not leave Ekadashi saying, by just doing Krishnastami we will be get

all ekadashi phala. So, we have to do

both Krishnastami and Ekadashi Upavasa invariably.

Why we are giving more

importance to Sri Krishnastami? Why not

Ramanavami? Buddhajayanthi? â€“

THERE IS NO BEDHA FOR DIFFERENT PARAMATHMA ROOPA/AVATAARA. We must not think of difference in Paramathmaâ€™s

different roopa. If we think it will be

navavidha dwesha on paramathma.

Periodwise, Sri Krishna is

nearer to Kaliyuga. Only on this day

that we have to do upavasa and not on other bhagavadroopa jayanthi days. Ofcourse Buddhavatara is more nearer to us

than Krishnavatara. Even though

Buddhavatara is nearer to us, it was only for a short period and it was daitya

mohaka roopa whereas Srikrishnavatara is Jnaana roopa.

What happens if we are not observing

Upavasa on Krishnastami?

As per Bhavishyottara purana if we are not observing krishnastami

vrata, we will become brahmarakshasa and he will born as Snake, tiger like wild

animals. We will get paapa as if we are eating Maamsa if we not

observing upavasa as per smruthi.

Ahneeka Krama â€“

1.

Regular snaana sandhyavandana to be done

2.

On Krishnastami day â€“ Brahma Yagna not to be

done

3.

While doing morning snaana, we have to do with

Yogaaya

4. As

per Krishnamrutha maharnava we have to do the pooja of the following on this

day :
