(Sip one spoon of water after each mantra.


Take a little water from the vessel for worship with an offering
spoon onto the palm and sip it. This is called achaman.. Just as
bathing causes external purification, partaking water in this
way is responsible for internal purification. This act is
repeated thrice. Thus physical, psychological and spiritual,
internal purification is brought about.)

Katha
Lord Narayana who is the soul of the Universe, who
is the refuge of everyone, entered the mind of
Shri Krishna Janmashtami Puja

21 | P a g e

Vasudeva. People were amazed to see the glow that


emanated from Vasudeva. He shone like noonday
sun since the Lord had found an abode in him.
Devaki received in her the embodiment of
auspiciousness, the essence of all wealth and glory
of the Universe, the soul of the Universe, the
indestructible atman which resides in every living
and non living things. Devaki had the great fortune
of becoming the mother of the Lord of the Lords.
Like the East glows with the newly risen moon, she
looked beautiful. Her form was radiant. But the
world could not see it since she was captive in the
house of Kamsa. Her glory was hidden like a lamp
placed inside a pot; like Saraswati, the goddess of
learning is hidden in the mind of a pandit who is
greedy about his learning and refuses to impart with
others.
Kamsa, however knew that she was glowing with an
unearthly light. Devaki was holding the lord in her
womb and the entire house was bathed in a strange
light since she was there.Her lips bore a beautiful
smile and Kamsa, looking at her spoke to himself
and said
Devaki has never looked like this before. It seems
to me this strange glow in her is there because of the
child that is to be born. I think it is Narayana who is
to be born and that is why she looks so very
beautiful. I must take proper precautions lest he
should do what he was promised to do! I do not
want to die. I could kill her now. But then she is a
woman; she is my sister and she is with the child.
Each killing in itself is an unforgivable crime and
the world will condemn me if I kill her now. All my
fame and all my wealth and even my life-span will
suffer because of this sin. Is it not the fact that a
man who lives in constant association with terrible
deeds is but a walking corps? When he is alive
people will curse him and when he dies he will go
to the hell, which goes by the name of Andhatmas.
Kamsa desisted from killing his sister and awaited
for the birth of the child with impatience. The
thoughts of the coming child had become with him
http://www.mantraaonline.com/

an obsession. While sitting down on a seat he would


suddenly stop and look at the seat since he thought
he saw a child on the seat. He would tell himself,
there was a child on the seat and I was about to sit
on it ! Terrible ! He would then go tot bed and try to
lie down and there too he would see the child. He
would move away from there and stand far away.
Looking down he would see a child at his feet. He
would go and sit down to eat . Instead of food he
would see child on the plate. He would get up in
disgust and walk from there. At every step the child
would persist on his way. To Kamsa, the entire
world seemed to be pervaded by the Lord of The
Lords in the form of a mere child.
The time was drawing near. Brahma, Mahadeva and
all the devas went to the presence of Devaki and
stood in front of her with folded palms and praised
the Lord. They said salutations to Thee, O Lord,
you were gracious to take different forms at
different times to save us from despair. You were
Matsya, Hayagreeva, Kurma, Narasimha, Varaha,
Hamsa, Parashurama, Rama Yadna and Kapila.
Many other forms were assumed by you. Now,
when the earth needs you, please save the world
form the great suffering she is undergoing. We bow
down to you.
They then spoke to Devaki and said you are
fortunate princess, since you will be the mother of
Narayana himself. Adishesha is already born to you
and this child which is to be born will be the saviour
of the world. You need have no more fear of
Kamsa. His days are numbered. Having pacified her
and encouraged her, Brahma and rest of the celestial
hosts vanished from their presence.
The time was auspicious. It had the charm of all the
six seasons. The planets and the stars were in the
position from where they showered peace and joy to
the world. The four quarters were clear and placid
and the star Rohini was in the ascent, the star which
is governed by Prajapati. The sky was clear and
studded with stars which were shining brightly. The
waters in the river were clear and sweet. The lakes

were filled with flowers, lotuses and utpalas. The


trees were covered with flowers. The gentle breeze
was flowing and it brought intense scents of the
flowers with it. The fire which were kindled by the
Brahmins were burning without smoke and an air of
peace and tranquility pervaded the earth. The mind
of all men were happy for no reasons, only Kamsa
was unhappy. The divine dundubhi was being
played in the havens, kinnaras were singing and so
were Gandharvas. Siddhas and Charanas were
chanting the words of praise. The Apsaras and
Vidyadharas women were dancing with abandon.
The Devas and Rishis showered flowers on the
earth. There was heard a great rumbling from the
clouds which was like roar of the ocean. It was
midnight. The Muhurtha was Abhijeet and
Narayana, who is in the hearts of everyone, was
born to Devaki, wife of Vasudeva.
Devaki gave birth to Narayana like the east brings
the glorious moon.
The story of the lord Krishnas birth shows how
loving and powerful Lord is. Whenever evil in the
world becomes unbearable God himself comes to
save us in the form of incarnation like Lord
Krishna. Not even a mightiest evil can do anything
against God.
Hence daily we should pray to god and remember
him by repeatedly chanting his name in everything
we do.
