Krishna Janmashtami Pooja Vidhi

The Puja vidhi is a bit complex, even more, complex for those who decide to offer fast on the day.

First of all get yourself purified by taking bath early morning after the sunrise. Then pray to Lord Krishna to keep showing you the path of success. Krishna had specifically quoted that he can only show you the path and implement it is all on you.  He said to believe in yourself and do your Karma(action) and success will follow you automatically.

Then decide whether to have any of these three commonly suggested way of doing fast

  1. Falahaar: You can only eat fruits throughout the day, only as per the basic needs.
  2. Full day fast: You will remain on water throughout the day
  3. Full day fast with one-time food

आरती कुंजबिहारी की, श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥

गले में बैजंती माला, बजावै मुरली मधुर बाला ।
श्रवण में कुण्डल झलकाला, नंद के आनंद नंदलाला ।

गगन सम अंग कांति काली, राधिका चमक रही आली ।
लतन में ठाढ़े बनमाली;
भ्रमर सी अलक, कस्तूरी तिलक, चंद्र सी झलक;
ललित छवि श्यामा प्यारी की ॥ श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की…

कनकमय मोर मुकुट बिलसै, देवता दरसन को तरसैं ।
गगन सों सुमन रासि बरसै;
बजे मुरचंग, मधुर मिरदंग, ग्वालिन संग;
अतुल रति गोप कुमारी की ॥ श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की…

जहां ते प्रकट भई गंगा, कलुष कलि हारिणि श्रीगंगा ।
स्मरन ते होत मोह भंगा;
बसी सिव सीस, जटा के बीच, हरै अघ कीच;
चरन छवि श्रीबनवारी की ॥ श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की…

चमकती उज्ज्वल तट रेनू, बज रही वृंदावन बेनू ।
चहुं दिसि गोपि ग्वाल धेनू;
हंसत मृदु मंद,चांदनी चंद, कटत भव फंद;
टेर सुन दीन भिखारी की ॥ श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की…
