Sri Krishna JanmaAshtami - Sri Krishna Jayanthi

Sri Krishna JanmaAshtami/Jayanthi
Niceties...
It is our sacred sampradaya to celebrate birth days of Bhagawad Avathara Moorthis of Lord Vishnu as a festival. One such sacred occasion is Sri KrishnaAshtami also known as JanmaAshtami that of Lord Sri Krishna.
If there is occurrence of both KaAlaAAshtami and Rohini star at midnight time that Ashtami is referred to as Jayanthi Yoga which is considered as highly sacred and meritorious which is capable of destroying all the evils and sins. It is called as Sri Krishna Jayanthi. We find a reference to this in SriMadAachaarya's script Jayanti Nirnaya in the following sloka....

Fasting on the day of Sri Krishna JanmaAshtami is prescribed and is considered as highly meritorious that gives phala equivalent to or even more than that of fasting on several Ekaadasi days.
Fasting and food restrictions are observed on the lines of EkaAdasi.
Regarding paArane (breaking fast) we come across three different traditions that are in vogue;
> after Utsava ends ie. after giving Chandrodaya Arghya;
> after thithi or nakshathra ends whichever is earlier; and
> after both thithi and nakshathra ends;
generally Matha sampradaya is followed, Yatha Shakti.
After conducting special pooja (ShodasaupachaAra) and prayer/bhajans; arghya is given to Lord Sri Krishna on the day of Janmashtami at Moonrise time coinciding with Ashtami thithi and/or Rohini star.
On the day of Sri KrishnaAshtami, Arghya has to be given by all age groups with the following manthra after performing pooja to Lord Sri KRISHNA along with...
> Vasudeva,
> Devaki Devi,
> Yashoda,
> Nanda and
> Balarama
> Subhadra

ಕೃಷ್ಣಜಯಂತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀಕೃಷ್ಣನನ್ನೂ, ಬಲರಾಮನನ್ನೂ, ವಸುದೇವನನ್ನೂ, ದೇವಕಿಯನ್ನೂ, ನಂದಗೋಪನನ್ನೂ, ಯಶೋದೆಯನ್ನೂ, ಸುಭದ್ರೆಯನ್ನೂ ಪೂಜಿಸಬೇಕು.
Arghya should be given to both Lord Sri Krishna as well as to the Moon God (Chandra) at Moonrise time as per the local calendar with anusandhana...
!Bharatiramana Mukhyaprananthargatha,
Sri Krishnaaya Namaha!
Arghya should be given with Shanka (Counch) filled with water/milk, flowers/thulasi, Chandana and dakshina.
While giving Arghya, Shanka should be used for Sri Krishna and for Chandra silver vessel to be used. Arghya paathra should be used for releasing the contents.
Arghya should be given with utmost sraddha, bhakti, reverence, humility, gratitude to Sri Krushna Paramatma
Arghya to Sri Krishna should be given on the next day also at the time of Pooja.
On the day of JanmaAshtami aacharana, Bramha Yagna, Pithru Sraaddha should not be performed. It is on the line of Ekaadasi aacharana.
Giving Arghya on this day is considered as highly meritorious that gives the merits of Bhoodana. How many can afford to give Bhoodaana? Most sacred and simplest way to get Bhoodaana phala.
