According to religious beliefs, Lord Shri Krishna is considered the eighth incarnation of Vishnu. He was born in the Dwapara Yuga on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, at midnight. Hence, every Krishna Paksha Ashtami is celebrated as Monthly Krishna Janmashtami. This year, Adhik Maas (an extra month in the Hindu lunar calendar) is underway, and the Monthly Krishna Janmashtami falling during this period holds special significance. Religious texts mention that observing a fast and worshipping Lord Krishna with devotion on this day greatly pleases the deity, bringing prosperity and happiness to households.
