Janmashtami celebrates the divine birth of Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu and the embodiment of divine love, wisdom, joy, and protection.

Lord Krishna’s birth is traditionally associated with Rohini Nakshatra, which falls in Taurus - the sign where the Moon is exalted in Vedic astrology. This gives Krishna worship a beautiful connection with the Moon, the planet that represents our mind, emotions, inner peace, nourishment, mother, and wellbeing.

On this sacred occasion, the Sri Krishna Homa invokes Lord Krishna through sacred mantras and offerings into the Homa fire. The Homa is performed to seek Krishna’s grace, protection, happiness, prosperity, emotional wellbeing, family harmony, and fulfillment of sincere wishes.

A special Janmashtami Homa invoking Lord Krishna for divine grace, protection, prosperity, emotional wellbeing, longevity and the fulfillment of your Sankalpa.

Celebrate Janmashtami with a sacred Homa dedicated to Lord Krishna, whose birth is associated with Rohini Nakshatra and the strength of the exalted Moon in Taurus. Seek Lord Krishna’s blessings for a peaceful mind, emotional strength, protection, prosperity, family harmony, longevity and fulfillment of your prayers.

Krishna & the Moon

In Vedic astrology, the Moon represents the mind (Manas) and is closely associated with our emotions, mental peace, nourishment, mother, and longevity.

Lord Krishna’s birth is traditionally celebrated under Rohini Nakshatra, one of the Moon’s most significant Nakshatras. Rohini falls in Taurus, the exaltation sign of the Moon.

For this reason, worshipping Lord Krishna can also be approached as a beautiful spiritual remedy for strengthening the qualities associated with the Moon - particularly peace of mind, emotional balance, happiness, nourishment, and inner stability.
