This is an attempt at humor laced write up on Krishna Jayanthi. This is NOT an attempt to bring out divide between the Hindus, Shaivaites, Vaishnavaites, Madhawas, cryptos, rice bag converts.

Gokulashtami is celebrated in Bharat as
2/ Shri Krishna’s birthday…. Krishna’s birthday is as mischievously confusing as Krishna Himself. There is no one standard day that can be considered as His birthday.

Krishna, the universal God is celebrated in so many different forms and ways, that despite considering a
3/ Vaishnava God, He is the favourite of all Shaivaites as well..

As per Hindu sampradayam, we celebrate birthdays based on birthstar. Since Shri Rama and Shri Krishna themselves proclaimed that they will be born on certain thithis to clear the bad omens surrounding them,
4/ Shri Rama was born on Navami Thithi and Shri Krishna on Ashtami.

Shaivaites, being very devout, accepted Krishna words and concentrate more pn Thithi, than star. The sect that calls this festival as Janmashtami/Gokulashtami will celebrate on the date that has this
5/ ashtami thithi….the star rohini does not matter. Also one needs to do justice to the saying “vittam mudinji ettam naal gokulashtami” (aadi month / aavani month conveniently forgotten)… so Krishna’s birthday has to be celebrated on ashtami thithi which falls on 11 August.
6/ Iyengars/Vaishnavites who consider themselves experts, atleast in these aspects, celebrate Sri Jayanthi only on the day when both Ashtami thithi and rohini star coincides. Bcos as per vaishnavas birth day is celebrated based on birthstar mostly and not just thithi
7/ alone….This falls on the 10th September.

Poor Vaishnavaites and few Shaivaites are at a disadvantage here. Krishna’s fav food --- butter, aval and naval pazham (Jamun fruit/Java Plum/Indian Blackberry?) will be available in the market only based on government holiday. So
8/ people who celebrate Krishna’s birthday on 11th August can easily procure all these, whereas Vaishnavaites when they celebrate Sri Jayanthi on 10 september will have to pre order these items in the market, giving a thorough explanation to the fruit/kirana seller as to why
9/ we are asking for these one month late. Hopefully he/she understands and try to get it, else Krishna will have to make do with only one or two of these.

Sincere & Humble request to Modiji / Shahji / Yogiji to please clear up issues and rebuild Mathura temple at the
10/ earliest and declare one day as Krishna Jayanthi, for all hindus and also declare that day as govt holiday as well.

Most importantly, given their brilliance, ooppeess will clearly know exactly which day TN is Kamsan Mann and start twitter trending.

Sarvam
11/ KrishNarpaNam.🙏🙏🙏
