This Janmashtami, four coincidences are occurring on the day, which can prove to be very good for the devotees. Pandit Dheeraj Sharma, a renowned astrologer from Rajasthan’s Hindaun, says that these coincidences are believed to have happened during Lord Krishna’s incarnation, during the Dwapar Yuga.
According to the pandit, the Ashtami, Rohini Nakshatra, Taurus Ascendant of Bhadrapada month’s Krishna Paksha as well as the moon, will be in Taurus. He states these coincidences are occurring at the same time after a long while. It would be similar to the Dwapar Yuga.
Observing a fast on the day of Janmashtami is considered to be very fruitful and will give special results, added Pandit Dheeraj Sharma. The timing of the fast is expected to be from midnight to 12:45 am. According to the Shastras, the Janmashtami fast is believed to be the most important of all fasts. The Bhavishya Puranas say that if a person observes this fast once, they will get a reward equaling 20 crore Ekadashis. Furthermore, the devotee will stay protected from a premature death, stated the Pandit.
The fast should be done with a resolution, according to Pandit Dheeraj. The resolution should be, “Lord, I am fasting for you on Janmashtami. Make it successful.” The devotees should keep a vigil till 12 in the night and must worship Lord Krishna in his child form, after his birth. After the night puja, the Lord should be given the Dhanush Panjari Prasad with some mawa.
