Special things

* This time Janmashtami will be celebrated for two days

* Ashtami Tithi is on 23 August

* Rohini Nakshatra is falling on 24th August


This time there is a lot of confusion about the date of Janmashtami. Actually, this time Krishna Janmashtami is falling on two days i.e. 23 and 24 August. According to Hindu beliefs, Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu, was born in Rohini Nakshatra on the Ashtami of the Krishna Paksha of Bhado month. Accordingly, Ashtami is falling on 23 August while Rohini Nakshatra is on its next day i.e. 24 August. It means to say that this time the combination of Ashtami and Rohini constellation is not happening. In such a situation, the question arises that on which day Janmashtami Fast should be observed? Let us tell you that the pundits believe that Janmashtami fast is indisputably for the householders on August 23.

According to the scriptures, according to scriptures, Janmashtami fast should be observed on the night of Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami Tithi during moonrise. Mothers, like mother Devaki, keep fast for the whole day and fast and observe their fast at the light of the Lord in the night by offering arghya to Lord Chandradeva at the time of moonrise.

Bhadra Pad Krishna is considered to be the most auspicious of the moon rising on the Ashtami date. It is believed that Lord Krishna appeared in this moonrise during this moonrise.

Astrologers say that this lunar Udaya Darshan coincides only once a year. This time this coincidence is on the night of 23 August. In this case, fast should be observed on this day.

Due to this, the birth anniversary of God is celebrated in Gokul and many other places for the next several days. In fact, the next day the Gokul residents came to know that Nanda Ghar is an awe and birth anniversary started.

The Ghost Footballer

The Ghost Footballer   written by Priyanka Banerjee, West Bengal (India)     When Rajiyappa died he was ‘only’ ninety-five. His wife was remorseful and she said that it was too early to go. Rajiyappa loved to play football from his childhood; but unfortunately he was not a good player and no one wanted to take him in the team. He wanted to be a footballer of “Gajendra”, which was the name of the village as well as the local football team and also wanted to win many trophies. His dream remained intangible. Consequently Rajiyappa stopped going to the football ground. He used to climb a tree which was far from the football ground and from there he watched football matches.  Days passed. Rajiyappa grew up and he tried to get chance in the college football team; but again he failed. Rajiyappa lost all his hope. After a few years Rajiyappa got married. Days passed. Rajiyappa never missed a single football match of his locality. His love for football remained unimpaired....

Fairy-deary

Fairy-deary Written by Priyanka Banerjee, West Bengal (India)    Once upon a time there lived seven fairies. They used to serve the Wasp-King who was very cruel.

The fairies started to find that unknown Land of Gold. They were quite sure that they could not execute this impossible task and the Wasp King would punish them. When the sun was touching the horizon, the fairies sat on a cloud. They were ...
