Both the wife and husband did not know what to do. Every minute of their lives they called upon their only hope, their only deliverance, God. The solace of the unhappy, ardent prayers proceeding from the very bottom of their souls, incessantly flowed out of their hearts; and the almighty Lord of the universe, in His own mysterious ways, was infilling their souls with infinite power of endurance which kept the fragile vessels of their delicate frames steady and safe in that gloomy and stormy sea of life.
For us, there is a lesson to be derived from this. We can draw great comfort from the Gita where the Lord tells us: Ch.8,verse 58-"Fixing your mind on Me, you shall by my grace, overcome all obstacles..."
With these words, the soul-solacing charming youth vanished.

About The Festival: Why we Celebrate it:-
Janmashtami also called Dahi Handi....,
King Kansa was the most absolute and
tyrannical monarch of the period; the bare mention of whose name was sufficient
to send fear through the hearts of all good and peace-loving people. His
sister's name was Devaki upon whom his brother Kansa showered brotherly love.
And that is the reason why, on the day of Devaki's marriage to Vasudev, when
the time came for Devaki to travel to her husband's house, that king Kansa
wanted to drive the carriage himself as a token of his brotherly love.

Janmashtami |
The newly married couple
were simple and beautiful, yet noble and majestic to look at. They were really
very happy. The royal carriage richly decorated with precious gems and
ornaments, was being followed by a large retinue of people wearing colourful
gala dresses. Everything was pleasant all round.
Suddenly the face of
nature changed. The birds stopped singing; the sun was obscured by a cloud; the
soft breeze became a howling wind creating dust storms. Ill omens were pointing
to imminent danger. An unaccountable fear suddenly gripped the minds of all in
the procession. At such a time, an unseen voice, an oracle, was heard from
above which said:
"Oh you foolish one, whom are you driving so
merrily? Would you not know that the eighth issue of her womb shall be the cause
of your death?"
On hearing this, the
terrible Kansa sprang up from his seat, drew his sword, and was about to kill
his sister on the spot, had not Vasudev intervened. Falling upon his feet, on
behalf of his newly married wife, reminding Kansa that not Devaki but her
eighth child would be the cause of his death. So he requested Kansa most
humbly, to spare her life, she being fully innocent, and promised, since he had
fear from her children, that each and everyone of them would be given over to
him. Kansa felt the force of the reason and agreed to the proposal of Vasudev.
Janmashtami of Shree Krishna |
Besides his newly married
bride Devaki, Vasudev had another good wife, named Rohini and with these two
loving and dutiful wives he managed to live in peace and comfort.
In the course of time, the
first male child was born to Devaki. Vasudev, true to his word, sent the news
to King Kansa, who sent his servants to fetch the child whom he instantly
killed with his own hands. Six children were thus killed by the cruel king, who
foolishly wanted to avert the course of fate.
In the case of the seventh
child, somehow or other the womb appeared to be fruitless, although it was
really transferred, through divine agency, from Devaki to Rohini, who in due
course of time, brought forth a child that, on account of its transference from
one womb to another came to be known by the name of Sankarshana.
Now when the time for the
birth of her eighth child was approaching, Kansa ordered Vasudeva and Devaki to
be cast into his prison, bound with the same chain.
Both the wife and husband did not know what to do. Every minute of their lives they called upon their only hope, their only deliverance, God. The solace of the unhappy, ardent prayers proceeding from the very bottom of their souls, incessantly flowed out of their hearts; and the almighty Lord of the universe, in His own mysterious ways, was infilling their souls with infinite power of endurance which kept the fragile vessels of their delicate frames steady and safe in that gloomy and stormy sea of life.
For us, there is a lesson to be derived from this. We can draw great comfort from the Gita where the Lord tells us: Ch.8,verse 58-"Fixing your mind on Me, you shall by my grace, overcome all obstacles..."
Devaki was about to usher
into the world its saviour, and she along with her husband, bewailed her lot
and beating her forehead said: "O darling, be not born of me to be smashed
to death by the cruel king Kansa". And with this, both Devaki and Vasudeva
fell into a swoon. In the gloom of that unconsciousness, suddenly a light
flashed, and a beautiful youth of sixteen, holding mace and discus, conch shell
and lotus in his four hands, rose above the horizon of their mental firmament,
healing all their mental wounds, cheering and exhilarating them with his sweet
smile."Father and mother, weep no more. I have come at last to your rescue
and to the rescue of all the good people. Open your eyes and see me as your
child. Carry me father to the house of your friend Nanda in Gokula. His wife
Yashoda has given birth to a daughter just now. Exchange me for that daughter.
Bring her back to this prison leaving me on the lap of Yashoda who will be
sleeping at the time. Nothing shall bar your path".
With these words, the soul-solacing charming youth vanished.
When Devaki and Vasudeva
opened their eyes, they saw the most charming and beautiful baby ever a parent
was blessed with. That was at midnight of Ashtami-Rohini day, the divine baby
was born in Prison. The earth and the heavens were filled with joy. Flowers
blossomed, rains fell from the sky, peacocks danced, the gods rained flowers,
and divine music was heard. Devaki and Vasudeva forgot their miserable
condition for a while, looking at the smiling baby playing with its tiny limbs.
The mother kissed the sweet face and forgot her danger. Then after a while,
they realised the real state of affairs and both the husband and wife
shuddered. Then the sweet instructions of the fascinating youth in the vision
flashed into their minds. Vasudeva clasped the child at once in his bosom to
start for Gokula, but found that his legs were in chains. He did not know what
to do. In his haste he gave a jerk, and his legs were released! He sprang upon
his feet and ran towards the door of his dungeon. The massive iron-barred doors
were locked with three fold locks; but the guards were all asleep, and
therefore fearlessly he gave a push forward and the gates were unlocked and
flew open of their own accord. The crossing over the river Yamuna was just as
miraculous. Vasudeva reached Gokula and to his astonishment found the door of
Nanda's house open. He exchanged the babies and hurried back to the prison of
Kansa. Early in the morning, all the people at Gokula came to know that a
beautiful male child, a prince had been born the previous night at midnight to
Nanda's wife, and their simple hearts were filled with unbounded joy.
