Janmashtami’s history goes back more than five thousand years ago. The authenticity of the origin of most Hindu religious festivals is difficult to establish historically and its origin dates back mainly to the sacred writings. It is the same with Janmashtami, whose origin has its roots in the legendary story of the birth of Sri Krishna. In the midnight of Ashtami (8th day of Krishna paksha) in the month Shravana (July-August) Lord Krishna was born. He got the name Sri Krishna, and his story is recorded in Bhagavatam.
Sri Krishna, the Son of King Vasudev and Devaki was born to rid the world of the wicked. He was raised in secrecy by the Yadava chiefs Nanda and Yashoda (cowherds), to whom he was given because his uncle Kamsa viewed him as an enemy and intended to get rid of him by killing him. The fear of Kamsa, who was murdering all the sons of Devki and Vasudev, is thought to be the reason why Lord Krishna was transported to Gokul at midnight. So for this reason, Gokul also holds an important place for the celebration of Janmashtami.
