Janmastami

This year Janmastami will be celebrated on 9th August.

am really confused.....how can it happen?
How birthday of Krisha be celebrated in 2 months? :blink: :blink:

Janmastmi is always in August.. what is the confusion? If there is any doubt, it will be best to consult a Hindu scholar (Pandit). I do not think that anybody here is competent enough to clarify such doubts.

Devyani's father is an astrologer. Perhaps he may able to clear my doubt.

I think, it occurred due to difference of Malayalam Calender and Hindi Calender :blush:

That is why I consider astrology false. Science and maths are everywhere same. But astrology differs from place to place- Kerala, U.P.--Malayalam and Hindu calendars causing difference. Not to speak of different astrology in India and U.S.A.

I have my Kishanji with me today so I will eat and play as I wish. But as you know this is janmastmi today and this is celebrated according to Mathura and Vrindaban beliefs on two different days.

I think this should clear your doubts this is a copy paste from wikipedia
Krishna Janmashtami is observed on the Ashtami tithi, the eighth day of the dark half or Krishna Paksha of the month of Bhadra in the Hindu calendar, when the Rohini Nakshatra is ascendant. The festival always falls within mid-August to mid-September in the Gregorian calendar. In 2010, for example, the festival was celebrated on 1 September, and in 2011 on 22 August in North India and on 21 August in South Indian states like Kerala.[2]
this was in 2011

I have quoted the same thing :( :( :(
Yes, our month begins on August 17. That's why it comes after that as described in wikipedia. (Till sep 16th) It's clearly stated also. then why it's celebrated in North India today? :blink:

I think difference in both the calenders by a few days caused such a great difference.

Yet, what surprises me most is.....Krishna is born on Rohini star and today it's Thiruvonam.......I think almost 10 stars diference :woohoo: :woohoo:

Happy Janmashtmi to all.

Today we must break the pot in the evening we all will have a joy.

In many of the area they hang the pot at height and fix high prize to break that pot. :)

OH YES YES!! The ones in Mumbi are the best!! Did you see on TV yesterday??? There was one group which was successful in creating a pyramid of 9 layers!! It was really exciting.

Yesterday night we took my son to dahi handi because he has not seen it yet, but the group sin Pune were more interested in dancing to loud music under water fountains. They were supposed to break the handis late at night so had to show him on TV ultimately!
