Mark your calendars for February 7, the joyous Yashoda Jayanti, falling on Phalgun’s waning sixth lunar day. This festival celebrates the eternal mother of Krishna, Yashoda, whose devotion defines bhakti’s essence. Across the nation, temples overflow with diyas and floral tributes.
Central to childless couples and parents alike, it bestows boons of fertility, child health, and familial bonds. Mythology paints Yashoda as the epitome of nishkaam prem, raising the supreme lord as her own.
Elaborate rites include adorning murtis with new attire, heaping platters of doodh-dahi-makkhan, and invoking blessings via keertan. The day wraps with heartfelt aartis and community feasts.
