India has long been a country known for its vibrant and mass celebrations of festivals; Krishna Janmashtami being no different. Mathura and Vrindavan, the birthplace of Govinda, are lit every year like never before. The supreme god Shree Krishna, was born on the midnight hour of the Shrawan month during Krishna paksha and Ashtami thithi (Lunar-day). Being the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, Krishna’s birth into the world with both ascendant (प्रबल) and the natal moon fall in the Rohini Nakshatra. It was only with the influence of the Rohini Nakshatra, that gave Krishna the special charisma for mesmerising others.
As per the vedic astrology, Lord Brahma (the creator of the earth) is the ruling deity of Rohini Nakshatra. This is the reason that Krishna was able to face the Mayavi forces on earth. The nakshatra also provided focus and endurance to Krishna during the tough time of killing Kansa and other demons. Being a Rajsik Nakshatra, it also gave him a quick-witted personality and by virtue of his divine origin he endured purity just like lotus in a pond of dirty water.
