He composed his childhood pastimes in Gokul itself and grew up killing his maternal uncle Kansa.

4. After that, the aarti of Krishna ji is performed, some people sing bhajan, kirtan and dance throughout the night in joy.
5. Makhan Mishri was very dear to Krishna. In his child avatar, he had broken the pots of many gopis for this butter and had eaten butter by stealing it from many houses. That is why he is also called Makhan Chor. And for this reason, Makhan Mishri is mainly offered to them.
6. Matki bursting competition is also done at many places, in which a pot is filled with Makhan Mishri and tied on a high rope and the congregation from different places tries to break it and celebrates the birth of Krishna.

8. Always remember this thing that if you are not able to fast, then it is not necessary to fast. If you worship with faith in your heart, then Makhan Chor Kanha blesses you. Accepts your devotion, and gives you His ultimate blessings.

Milk, curd, sugar, ghee and honey are mixed in Panchamrit prepared in the offerings of Shri Krishna, and Tulsi leaves are mixed in it while offering it.

The Panjari which is offered to Shri Krishna ji in Bhog is also different from the ordinary Panjari.

poem on janmashtami

काली अँधेरी में था वो उजाला
भादो पक्ष की अष्टमी का नजारा
कारावास में किलकारी गूंजी
लीलाधर को नयी लीला सूजी
किया वसुदेव को आजाद

 

बरसते पानी में करवाया यमुना पार
खुद यमुना ने चरण स्पर्श कर
अपने जीवन का किया उद्धार
माता यशोदा के पुत्र बनकर
बढ़ाया जिसने गौकुल का मान
मटकी फोड़कर माखन चौर बन
यशोदा माँ की खाई फटकार

गोपियों के संग थे रास रचैया
बने राधा के कृष्ण कन्हैया

पीछे छूटा प्रेम प्रसंग
नन्द बाबा मैया का संग
